Some say that too many chefs spoil the broth, but regarding The Mothership Sky Net Penthouse Suit of Slacklife glory, this was simply NOT the case!~ In fact, the list of all the chefs is as long as it is diverse. Its quite baffling actually and I am sincerely thankful for everyones tremendous efforts. This was a massive undertaking, AND WE TOTALLY ROCKED IT!!!~ The knowledge for the successful construction/use of this net evolved over the last 8 years... Grifin Anderson first showed me some basic net-technique back when I was still in college! Since then I have learned by experimentation weaving nets in many locations with many friends including Shaun Cordes, Andrew Tysinger, George Upton, David Gumbiner, Scott Antipa, Jimmy Peterson, Daniel Moore, Nick Williamson and these nets eventually led to the 3 sided space thong construction in 2012. A successful first attempt at what was deemed a space net. However, it wasnt until just a few weeks ago i thought the pentagon was actaully possible. I calculated the approximate size I wanted the net to be (~2000sqft.) and acquired the proper materials to build it. This took a few years as well. Since the moment the last of the pieces arrived on my door step I literally have had help every step of the way to complete this truly monstrous project. From Brent Cain providing the ultimate perfect net weaving habitat, to Will Fryer providing MANY ratchets to pre-rig the beast, to Sylvan Christensen who weaved for literally 3 days straight with me and the 30+ other people who helped weave including Canyon Cain, Hayley Ann, Scott Rogers, Brian Mosbaugh, Ian Flanders, Matt Blank, Adam R. Krum, Ryan Sorg, Taz Sarah, and many others, to the 50+ people who helped set up the pentagon, to the 200+ people who enjoyed the comfort of true chilling glory, to the 10 people who helped build the nets second layer, to the MANY slackers who helped maintain the rig while I was gone, from adding padding to edges, to re-locking carabiners, to helping people in and out of the net, covering the pink hole for my landing, to the highliners who helped crush 4 out of the 5 legs including Mickey Wilson, Ryan Robinson, Keagan French, to Dan Dewitt and Nathan Pertuset for towing me up in a paraglider for a chance to land in the net! There were also nearly 200 BASE jumps including TARDs, gainers, hanging nonsense, Rudy and Ricardo Di Juebo with their wing suit fly-bys, multi ways, a zip line, and at least 1 game on, and I have to give thanks to the BASE community for having not 1 injury during the entire event. Also a VERY special thanks to the 40+ people helping de-rig and carry EVERYTHING back to my car. I literally was left at the fruit bowl with nothing to carry back, and it was amazing. It was a true and perfect thank you from the community. All I am thinking about now is how insanely empowering the cumulative strength of an entire community is when brought together by an idea, a dream, Watching the paper towel sketched construction and experiencing something brand new that can only be defined as next generation, has left me truly inspired and humbled. You are all amazing, and without YOU this never would have happened. From the bottom of my heart I truly and sincerely appreciate everyones work and commitment!~ I LOVE YOU ALL!!!~ WOOLALALALLALAL #slacklife #wooalalalala #CRAZYproject #whatsnext #lovinglife #zipline #talusRAGE
