Told you we’re going bigger!

Let me start off by thanking @taqasnacks for powering this jump. @gravity_advisors and @rodolphe_akl for the ride up to altitude.
🎥 @paul_saade_ for filming.
🚁 @eliasasaliba @thrillseekers.official and @imad.elhelou for the drone shots.
@carlochedid for coloring and editing the video. @parashute.app and @picblancsports for sponsoring me when most brands were too afraid to go near base jumping.

Now thats out of the way let me tell you some hidden facts about this jump… while most of you have probably seen something similar to this stunt being done. It was a first time doing it for me, a lot of things had to go into account in the planning and execution of this. The 2 main concerns were reaching the dropzone with enough altitude to pull this through (this was done at ≈350m, which i believe is the lowest alti anyone has pulled this off) and then recovering the spare chute without causing any damages (this part was extremely tricky!) but with a lot of brainstorming between me and @rodolphe_akl and even more luck we made it happen!

On a final note, stay wild and stay tuned as i have some big projects coming up🤘 by @mikelkh

Goofy’s maiden flight!

Its only fitting for my first tandem passenger to make my dog the first and only flying dog in Lebanon😉

Nothing but fun flying next to @thrillseekers.official and his passenger🤘 by @mikelkh

How to run a free skydive operation in a country with no drop zone:

1. Get comfortable jumping at lower altitudes
2. Find a badass friend to take u to said altitude @josekosseifi
3. Jump

This one scared the shit out of @josekosseifi dude thought i jumped but couldnt find me. He didnt realize i was still hanging out below his glider😂 by @mikelkh

Some of you never worked as a director and a stuntman on the same project and it shows! 😅 enjoy me directing the shot while hanging upside down in the air✌️. We need to make flying great again with @gravity_advisors so i can deliver some cool shots like this by @mikelkh
