I love the way you look so very casual, as though you dangle from cliffs all the time.

Well, Kamadan makes it seem like it's nothing and a piece of cake... that or maybe it's a piece of cake motivating the Snow Spottycat to come down that 45m cliff. ;)

Mmm, cake. It'd get me off a cliff.

Awesome shot. Pretty good work there. :)

Thanks! I loved every moment of it and it was actually so much fun. And of course thanks to my friends who took the photos for me, they did awesome work there.

Great shot! kinda reminds me of going out the side of a Helo at 100 M and the only way you were getting out of the helo was on the rope.... That was over 30 years ago... Some of the stuff I did in the Army kinda scares me now.... Ahhh but a lot of things have changed in the intervening years.

Out the side of a Helicoptor 100m down eh? They make it look so easy on the TV and whatnot, but I bet that's not the case at all!

The first few times out the side of a helo do cause butt pucker... After you have done it a few times it's not a big deal....

We were also trained on an extraction system that took you from sitting on the ground talking to the jump master to 50 60 feet in the air at a speed of about 100 knots then into a net.... If it was for real it would have been just you and the rope/cable till you got to the plane.....

Like the song goes.... "C 130 going down the strip. Airborne Daddy gona take a little trip...." No I was not Airborne but I may as well have been....

Abseiling in a fursuit?

You rock.

Indeed! The big piece of rock that I have to abseil down would agree. ;)

And thanks!

Thats really sick, major props


You should totally join  XtremeSportFur

Ah, I don't think abseiling down is *that* extreme, then again, one of the reasons why I did it (in fursuit) is because I haven't seen anyone else doing that before... thought it might be something different. :)

And thanks for the link, I will go check out this  xtremesportfur

And of course looking so very, very, very yummy in all that spandex... ;)

Why of course, one should to be in the right kinda gear, and spandex fits that bill quite well. ^_^

Nice dude!

Thanks :D

It seems the two lowest straps have made certain things a little obvious... :P

Methinks you are just looking a tad too hard at the photo. And yes, the straps have to be quite snug and tight for safety reasons... and spandex doesn't really hide much. ;)

Yeah, well, I would've tucked it under for pictures at least.

Well, I was looking back at all the high-res originals of all the photos of the day and nothing's really "showing" for the rest (it is a pair of bike skinsuit afterall so there's quite a bit of chamois padding, plus I'd be wearing 3 layers of spandex already), so really methinks you are reading too much detail into a photo. To be honest that's probabally just a fold in the fabric (as the front zipper seam ends just there) that got "bucked up" because of the straps and showed it off as something else in this particular shot (and you interpreted it in a particular way).

That, and if you were dangling off a rope off of a 45m cliff, the last thing one would be worried about is how the photos will turn out. I'd be thinking more about how to get down from the cliff safely.

yeaaa my hero

Wow. Now that's a dynamic photo!

Very dangerous. Even more dangerous with a costume on.

Well, according to another bunny (don't know if you know Thipher, he came from the States) who was waiting up on top of the cliff for his turn, I was just being an attention whore... thus, abseiling down in fursuit!

I actually did e-mail and ask ahead with the instructor if it was alright to do it in fursuit, even sent him photos prior too. And well, he gave the green light so, off a certain Snow Spottycat, down a 45m cliff.

Having been in the US armed forces doing things like that in the dark were the norm. You learn to tell if every thing is right just by feel.... Just like striping and assembling the M16 in the dark... You do it till you get it right....

I'm also sure the Fur on top with him was being a spotter to make sure everything was right before he went on the rope.

So what is your 'skin'? Colored tights? How did you color it?
Please reply. I'm thinking of doing the same, depending on what you did.

Well, the Snow Spottycat suit is similar to the one you saw/commented upon (the Silver Tiggy suit). It's pretty much a stretch velour "fur"suit body in conjunction with my Snow Leopard fursuit head in this case. So this is more than just tights, in fact its a whole bodysuit that covers everything up to the neck.

The spots are airbrushed onto the suit directly, and similarily on my Silver Tiggy suits the stripes are airbushed on.

Ah. Thank you very much! That answers my question!

Didn't that feel strange down there?

hehe i love rock climbing
