Extremal jumped in a special aero-suite. With it, you can control air flows and fly a few tens of kilometers along the mountain range. On account Valery Roshova -.
For the first time in the costume-wing, he jumped in the Himalayas. Therefore, apparently, did not doubt that this time there would be no problems. A person who does not represent himself without extreme, decided to take a new height - almost 7,000 meters. What exactly went wrong, it is not exactly known. But according to one of the versions, due to the strong wind, the trajectory of the flight unexpectedly changed, and.
Vadim Niyazov, Head coach of the Russian national team on parachute sports: "Of course, after hitting the object of chances to survive and escape, especially on the highlands, where more than 5-6 thousand meters, was no longer. But before the last we believed that I would still return Valera. "
Recalling training, Vadim Niyazov says: Valery has always strived for new heights, which were all higher every time, and flights are increasingly harder. What is his famous jump in the vulcan's active funnel. He was the first one who decided on such a thing. Valery Rosov remained miracle and after trying to jump with a high antenna in France. He strongly hit the current, and the Basejumper was restored for several months. But as soon as I got on my feet, I went again behind the sharp feelings. A month before the death of roses.
The body of the athlete was already brought to Kathmandu.
Vladimir Melnikov, Head of the Consular Department of the Russian Embassy in Nepal: "At the moment there is a design of all documents for sending a body to Russia. The body will be sent either tonight or tomorrow - depending on how quickly we get all the references. "

Valery Rosov was the organizer of numerous base projects around the world. He participated in the shooting of a telecast about sports and travels on the central channels, thanks to which he became known in wide circles.
"This is a blow to health, people begin to think worse. Memory is lost. This lifting on the brain acts. Even after Heights of 7,000 meters I then dial the form for two or three months. Not sports - just returning to normal well-being. But big sport does not bring health at all. Though on skis run, at least you go to Everest. This is self-keeping. Outside the resources of the body, "Rosov said in an interview with Sport and Express in February 2016.
I have three professional careers in three different areas, and I continue to keep yourself in good form in each of them. It takes a lot of time and money. It's hard. Really.

The costume was sewn from a special parachute for the individual order of the Russian Basejumper in the United States.

Valery was an athlete "Red Bull" since 2004. He received international recognition as a highly professional athlete, tirelessly placed increasingly difficult goals.
You still worry anyway. And against the background of this fatigue of the psyche can give very different reactions, polar - from "AAA, Gorge it all fire, I'm jumping and be that it will be", ending with what you are worried about empty Place: "Here the hollow and briefly, and the wind is not from the other side, but I have not seen the landing at all." And you need some kind of weighted solution. And in the end I use quantitative, and not emotional decision-making methods.
The first day of the winter of the Russian woman held in front of the TV for watching the serial of the fifth channel "Passion". In the audience "Women 25-59 with high income", the show showed a share of 14.3%, which brought the fifth gold in the ranking of national TV channels for this audience.

Rosov is a two-time world champion in parachuting, the champion of Russia by mountaineering, the world record holder in parachute sports.
"I did not have time to reveal the parachute and hit the rock. This is unofficial information.

Mountaineer and Basejumper from Russia Valery Rosov died in Nepal after the jump with the Himalayan vertex of Ama Dublam. The media tragedy reported the head coach of the Russian national team on parachute sports Vadim Niyazov.
Valery Rosov Cause accident. All that is known.
If I have two problems - I immediately refuse. This is a very psychedelic sport. You make pretty simple movements in the conditions of the strongest stress. You will be surprised how people react differently to the need to jump. Three quarters of people just can't make them do it. "
He expressed confidence that the deceased athlete will be buried in his native country. "But we are not powerful over fate, there are no details of the incident. We know that he had to take a jump, "concluded Niyazov.

Honored climber and Basejumper died in Nepal after the jump in the costume-wing (Wing) from Mount Ama Dublam. This was reported to "Lenta.ru", referring to the athlete family. The information was confirmed in the professional community in the social network. The news has acquired a wide resonance in the medium of parachutists and extremals. "BSBD" - they write about the news of the death of Rosh. The abbreviation is decrypted as "Blue Sky, Black Death" ("Blue Sky, Black Death"). Thus, in the community, it is customary to say goodbye to comrades. Mount Ama Dablam is a twopiecial. The height of the large peak is 6814 meters, small - 5563 meters. What kind of height jumped roses is unknown. It is also unclear that it was the cause of the death of an athlete. Valery Rosov was an outstanding Soviet and Russian climber, a master of sports.

"Valera and Jean Noel climbed to the top of November 10 at noon and at three in the afternoon were already in the camp at an altitude of 6000 meters. Valera wanted to make a second leap, and all the equipment for the jump was brought in advance to the second camp. Probably experts will be able to answer the question of what caused the tragedy on November 11. I all just do not fit in my head"," Wrote Kovalev.
The death of Rosova became known on November 11; 52-year-old Extremal died during a wing jump from the Mount Ama Dablam in the Himalayas.

Behind his shoulders more than 11,000 parachute and more than 1,500 base jumps, unique and nobody repeated record jumps from the highest points of the planet, including the highest base jump from 7700 meters in the Himalayas from the top of Cho-Oyu.
Tireless in his desire to conquer all new heights, set themselves more and more complex tasks. The eternal dreamer and a first-class professional, who signed to charge his energy all around and inspired many.
To say that Valery's contribution to Parachute Sports and Basejumping is huge - it's like not to say anything. He became a legend in his life. And so will be remembered forever.

And this is not a complete list of expeditions and achievements Valery
On November 11, 2017, when attempting to re-jump with Ama Dublama, Valery Rosov died tragically.
The fact that Valery was engaged in like a besjumper, one can judge the video from one of his last hikes.
We think about Valera, about his wonderful family, remember and grieve! With us there was a completely star man, a world-class athlete, a real hero, and we could easily communicate with it. And we appreciated it and believed that nothing happens to him, believed in his caution, in his methodology, in his star ...
Alexander Abramov: Valera accomplished so much for his life .... such a huge number of ashens and expeditions. I'm trying to remember everything. And more and more remembered. A huge number of accomplishments. Projects. Probably critical mass has accumulated.
Alexander Abramov: Once again, the reminder: Mountains are not a toy. Be careful. Take care of yourself and take care of the participants. As far as Valera was careful. As far as he urged everything 10 times ... Please check all 11 times.
Valery Rosov: "Three thousand volts - and a feet ruined
He is the coolest extremal world. Having gathered all records as a parachutist, bored. The main adventures were ahead.
... Rosov looked at us ironically - and we understood that this ice himself would not melt. Pink need to please.
After a couple of hours, they broke up friends. We went to the editor to write our notes, Valery - jump from the rocks.
Gave him a follow and again did not believe: this young man is 51 years old?
Batman
- Your life is full of records. And was the record for the number of hours without sleep?
Such records put the student, preparing for exams. Really night did not sleep. Sometimes it happened during the ascent. I have been engaged in professional mountaineering for many years.
- We know.
Here it had to work on two days without sleep. The last time - in 2008 We climbed on Cerro Torre, this is Patagonia. The border of Argentina and Chile. They rolled 45 hours without stopping.
- How could we withstand?
Are you exactly from the "Sport Express"? Not from the medical journal?
- So overcoming - our main interest. Everyone has their own secrets.
I have no secrets. If we talk about the mountaineering - it is most important to maintain the adequacy of perception in stress conditions.
- Then tell me: how do people seem to celebrate you 50th anniversary?
Banal. In the morning he jumped.
- So we thought. Where and where?
From the cliff. It was a special jump. Actually, I already jump for 25 years, but never happened on my birthday!
- Why?
Born on December 26th. That is cold, then the wind. And then in the Alps rode skiing with his family. Weather - Wonderful! How not to jump? Friends came in the evening. Celebrated, walked.
Somehow we came to Fedor Konyukhov. Says: "I need a concrete amount to embody such an idea." How much and what do you need today?
There is an idea of \u200b\u200ba jump in the Himalayas. World record in height above sea level. The last record is my own - in the 2013th jumped from the northern peak of Everest, 7220 meters. A year later, went for intelligence in Himalayas. Found a great place, even higher.
- MUCH?
Meters for five hundred. For serious mountains - the distance is huge. This is an expensive expedition.
- Note?
Why unrivor people? Moreover, the numbers float. One thing is a sports expedition, lift to the mountain. Other - jump. Logistics is more difficult and more expensive, professional photo and video. Additional costs, considerable! The amount of people will not say anything - only causes the reaction: "Well, requests ..."
- When are you ready to crush the record?
Yeah right now. Either in autumn. Himalayas are the same spring-autumn seasons. But you yourself see that with the ruble is going on. In the conditions of the crisis, the first thing is cut - advertising, marketing. Projects like mine.
- You found a new point for a record. Is this the limit?
I am sure - there are points for a jump for 8 thousand meters! So far I can not poke your finger in the map: "Here" - but I assume where. Hard to reach place. The slightest error in logistics - and becomes very dangerous. The idea is cool, but the response does not find.
- Maybe this interview will melt sponsorship hearts.
Unless in the header, we will satisfy: "I will urgently help our Batman - and the new record among Russia in his pocket!" By the way, none of my projects in the big mountains repeated. They are unique.
AMPUTATION
- Scar on hand - the memory of what?
About own stupid. In France wanted to jump from radioantenna. I got under tension.
- Famous case - when did your body cut 3 thousand volts?
Well yes. You saw the scar, and I have these burns around my body. From right to left. One foot ripped, sneakers melted. Spronsali's leg, two fingers amputated.
- Why did you get to the antenna?
Now it is irrelevant - people jump in the mountains, a bunch of options. And before Beser, you were considered if he jumped from all fixed objects. Base - Abbreviation. Buildig - Building, Antenna - Antenna, Span - Arched overlap, Bridges, Earth - Earth. I just needed to close the letter "A".
- What is the antenna?
Pretty famous. I was in France at competitions. The local beser consulted how to correctly leave through a three-meter fence with a barbed wire, where guard ... later called to the hospital: "Valera, I forgot to warn - from the fence you need to immediately jump onto the stairs! I do not touch the earth!"
- How on time.
Exactly. And I swallow, got dressed, got ready, took the staircase. And that's it. Shook long. I did not control my movements. Then the plastics fell - but was conscious. The feeling that became glass. I remember the thought: now I will crumble ...
- Have you been alone?
Threesome. I just grabbed the first. Shouted: "Rather back." I managed to swing back through the fence - and turned off. I was already dragging to the road.
- How did you survive?!
There was a low current - with high voltage. It saved. It was still lucky that the blow went without left to right. Not through the heart, it did not stop. And could.
- In the hospital spent four months?
Two. When the insurance is over, kicked out. Some money were, friends threw off. The wife arrived, the month and a half in Marseille filmed the room. Mota with crutches on dressings. Very hard sense. One after another skin transplant, five operations ...
- The face was not injured?
Not. But the scalp was cut - they took a thin muscle tissue for a transplantation to the lifting of the legs. We are more often taken from the ass - but then half acantimeter would be added. I would have to wear orthopedic boots.
- In the end, everything is fine?
- Does it somehow limit?
Sure! Immediately put the cross on sports climbing. I loved this thing. Stop lost sensitivity. Leg push, jumping with her. Two years adapted to new sensations.
- People who come to the alteration with the current, open unexpected talents in themselves.
I was told about this. I waited, waiting - did not happen ...
- How was the fate of the elder brother, who infected you with love for the mountains?
Tragic. In the late 80s, climbers were fashionable to fly on paraglids. "Sports dome" appeared. The square is small, the dome is ellipsoid, the vertical. We bought them - but I wanted to use not only as a means of salvation. After all, a parachute sport is 90 percent - what you do during the free fall. Before opening a parachute.
- It's clear.
It also has the opportunity to enjoy more from the flight on the dome. You accelerate it very much, pull for the rear slings and are flying along the ground for a long time, translating speed with vertical in horizontal. It looked so unusual that everyone became fascinated. Although technically not ready. And the brother crashed. On the "low" turn crashed into the ground.
- In your eyes?
Yes. I was downstairs. Let's without details, this is the hardest story for me.
- Many would throw jumps after that.
Why? If your comrade died in a car accident - no longer sit behind the wheel?
- But we would go differently.
I also began to jump differently. Parachute for me was already a way of life. You will not quit ... By the way, about the accident. I used to speed, everything flashes. Because of this, the car perceived a long time as a computer game. I drove, rebuilt from a number of in a row, even if I was not in a hurry anywhere. It was not fundamentally fastened - that was some kind of fool! One day, the buddy traveled from the airfield on the country road. Speed \u200b\u200b- kilometers forty per hour. A ridiculous collision is not fastened, the punch of the chest on the steering wheel.
- Died?
Opening showed - Heart stopped. From that day there is no driver careful than me. Belt, no "checkers". Now I understand: not fasten - the same thing to climb into the mountains without a rope!
- figuratively.
Okay, on the rock you can - if the level of skill allows. But without a rope, go through a glacier with rapid cracks - naked fool! Because nothing depends on you. You will come to the snowy bridge, falling up - and died. There are thousands of such cases in the mountains for the year.
EVEREST
- Through what mistakes did you pass when I first conquered Everest?
I jumped from the height of 7220. Directly on the top did not rise.
- And I did not want?
Not that I did not want ... There is a climbing altitude. And there is a technically complex - climbing on the walls. Personally, I always liked the second option. In addition, at that time, the climb on Everest cost 65 thousand dollars. Do you need these money, right?
- logical.
You will not say: "I still dream to go to the top. Take a half-one ..." I do not want to look for this money! It is hard to earn, to make a tick - "was on top of Everest." And the current commercial climbing with oxygen as a climbers does not attract.
- True, that every lift to Everest is a blow to health? People begin to figure out worse?
- is the memory?
Definitely. On the brain, this lift is valid. Even after a height of 7 thousand, I then dial the form for two or three months. Not sports - just returning to normal well-being! But big sport does not bring health at all. Though on skis run, at least you go to Everest. This is self-keeping. Outside the resources of the body.
"Someone from the climbers told us - was struck by the number of corpses on Everest. Have you seen them?
Not. The corpses lie closer to the top - 8300 and higher. There is a "red zone". Have you watched the movie "Everest"?
There is a lot of believable. Is that the behavior of the heroes is sometimes strange - they go unbuttoned, they say in common voice, do not cough ... Yes, the camp above 6 thousand resembles a tuberculous hospital!
- Wow.
All cough, harking, barely moving. And in the "Everest" some other disco are satisfied. But in general - exactly transferred ... So I'm about why the bodies are not descended from a high height. People are physically unable! The relief is such that it is not possible to drag an uncontrolled body. This is done with the help of rope. Do you know how?
- Not.
Test the ropes, organize the descent, insurance. And the route is long! One thing, go my legs. Other - hang ropes every 50 meters. If you did not have time to return for the day, you have a cold overnight stay.
- What is it?
Overnight without bivouatic equipment. Neither tents, no preims, nor a sleeping bag. 99 percent - death. For all.
- To conversation about the "tuberculous hospital". Remember how you jumped with an angina.
2004th, Pakistan. So think: you are sick, with temperatures. And you need to fulfill physical work.
- Not lost interest in what is happening?
It was important to hold out 2-3 days. The height is not so serious, about 6 thousand. But the inflammatory process is instigated. Especially pulmonary diseases against the background of infection. I was afraid that I would finally cover me, Angina would go deep into. Comrade with cotton chopsticks thought I was burned in the throat ... well, and jump something - relief!
- Surprisingly.
You instantly teleport to the base camp. It is better than two days of hard work on the descent.
Nikolai Valuev told us: "There is a huge number of cowardly boxers." Have you met cowardly climbers? Or parachutists?
We often discuss this topic. The climbers of a good level never shy to say: "I'm scared", "I'm afraid of this slope," "Something stones are poorly flying" ... that's fine! Fear your ally - none of themselves is building. It would have looked stupid.
You happened to refuse something, listening to the inner voice - just because "the stones are not so flying"?
I had a project. I found a point in the mountains, incredibly complex. I jumped in Wingsut. Suit-wing - you know about this?
- The whole world knows Valery.
This is essentially a real wing - with the upper and lower shell, air intakes. But the slings do not under it, but they are placed inside the wing. Manage the flight by moving his own body. Hands, hands, as you like. But you need a vertical part.
- What for?
Then the costume is filled with air, it will plan along the horizon. And here the vertical part was very short, the relief began on. I was terribly exhausted against the background of the climbing climb, did not find the strength to gather. And most importantly, the son has a birthday.
- Refused?
With all the truth and untrue, referring to the wind, the inability to remove the jump qualitatively, something else ... I moved the next morning. So as not to spoil the son of the holiday, if something goes wrong.
- In the morning it was successful?
Once we sit with you and talk - of course! What do I remind you of Baron Münhhausen?
- God forbid. What is the place?
I will not say. People who were with me still do not know, because of which the extra day was kept on the rock.
AVALANCHE
- Often you have a situation from under control?
For this, a fairly tiny error. Even in ordinary jumps that I can do in the Alps several times a day, climbing the "cable". Before in the mountaineering practiced accidents. We sat, remembered - who said, who objected why they did not come to contact. All-all-all.
- What happened?
99 percent - human factor. Stone from the sky did not arrive, a man was always to blame. In parachute sports is not so detailed, but also disassemble. There is a fatality-list. The same conclusions: "Revaluation of its capabilities", "improper use of equipment in this situation." Not to mention the wrong laying.
- Recently - released from under control of the situation?
If you do not take a personal life, ha ... We are talking about extreme sports?
- exclusively.
A couple of years ago in the Alps climb where it was not worth the climb. Watched on the slope and thought: no need! December 31, a shepherd evening. I'm tired, it's time to go home. Everyone has already descended, the festive glade is covered - and I have impatiently noted.
- Well?
New year met in the hospital, stretching. A common fracture of the hip with a displacement. It is difficult to heal. I started jumping soon, and chrome almost two years. Do you know the main problem of athletes?
- What's the problem?
Skills and psychological confidence from their sport carry on other types of activity. I am constantly trained, excellent coordination. But in skis - not a professional! Childhood errors pop up from arrogance.
- Have your mistakes have consequences?
Somehow jumped with a fairly simple place. I did not take into account a strong wind, chose a new, complex line. Often you create a background - and the chain of inexplicable small bad luck is turned on.
- So what happened?
Opened normally - but the spin of the sling occurred. Did not reach the clearing. The wind blown into the mountain river. I almost drowned! Fifteen minutes floundered in ice water, stolen.
- Any will start panicing.
I have good psychological training. Behind the shoulders a huge set of freelance situations in which already visited. And the powerful gusts of the wind, and the spin of the sling, and the descent of iced cliffs ... For someone, all this is extreme - and for me the natural habitat. Standard set of actions. It is hard when the danger comes instantly. Here you are on the verge of life and death. The psyche may not withstand. If it fell in the mountains or is avalanche - there is a minimum chance that you are lucky. But if you fly to the ground at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour - the chances of zero. You see: "That's all ..."
- You did not have this.
The river was just such thoughts. Pulls along the coast. The dome went under water and entails. And he is huge! I grab from the last strength for some branches, they crumble, hands in the blood. I feel - fingers no longer obey. Do not shrink. I am not able to fight. Instead of mobilizing, the brain gives the team to die: "Relax, in five seconds everything will end ..."
- How were they saved?
A pure chance - the dome itself cluckged behind the root. If it was not - drowned. I weakened the tension of the sling, ran out to the shore. She stood half an hour, hugging the trunk, he worried. Besides yourself, to blame some.
- Why?
Elementary error. There is no spare parachute in the base systems. We carry "sustaining". A sharp hook-like knife, one wave - Vzhizh! - Cut the slings. We are released if somewhere hook. I dropped it a couple of days before the jump - and spat.
- Be a knife with me ...
- ... The problem would decide in ten seconds!
- Are you a believer?
I am baptized, Orthodox. Candle can deliver. But with the church I have complex relationships.
- What do you think, why did this story be given for you?
I can not imagine. I try not to dig deeply. I have such stories several. Like everyone who worked in the mountains.
- Alien story in the mountains that shocked you?
Anatoly buryeva. Sorry, we were not familiar personally. In the 90s he was a very famous figure among Europeans. Then the unfair attitude of the Americans who released the book. He was accused of gone from the group, did not participate in salvation. Although that did not have a relationship. None of the guides did this, and Brechyev rose several times by 200-300 meters from the camp, saved people ... In 1997 he died under avalanche in Himalayas.
- The most remar than the death of a professional climber in your memory?
Yes, any death - Vlaper! When I, young, first came across the death of friends and acquaintances, tested shock. But even more surprising was the reaction of people around: "You see what he did! Who does this?" This was perceived as an incident, no more. That is, while you wish - you are a hero. If somewhere I was removed, everything: "Who does it?"
- Have you saved your life?
Sure. Like any climber who participated in saving goods.
- You have passed avalanche?
Never hit. I have a friend who survived two avalanches. The first time was dug. On the second managed to pull the ring - behind his back was a backpack with an inflatable rescue pillow. She pushes you upstairs.
- With such a pillow avalanche is not terrible?
Chances of survival are increasing. But an avalanche can be cast. Hit the stones. Or about a tree. Snow tamps his own mass. Ten seconds, he turns into concrete! You throw avalanche, which stopped five minutes ago. You have to smash! Try not to suffocate, being down! On sites there are advice to "make swimming movements" ...
If the snow is heavy - you will not shift. Carry you.
HELICOPTER
- You could all end in a mountain river. Under the antenna in France. There were still "border" episodes?
The rest, how to say ... "technical". In Kamchatka jumped with two different parachutes, they have their own disclosure system. First, small - "Medusa" is thrown. It is a three-meter rope tied to the top of the dome. Inflated, the rope is unwinding. For these three meters, you gain such speed to pull the big dome from the wreck.
- reliable.
Yes. But because of the change of parachutes confused. In one "Medusa" on the leg, in the other - under the wounder. We grab about the usual place - it is not!
- We have shudder now.
And what did I feel - imagine? Actually opened ten meters! Saved deep snow. Want, I will describe how the earth looks from the height? First you see that it is round. Then it becomes huge. Seconds later flies on you with a crazy speed. Meters from two hundred it starts. Extremely unpleasant.
- Nothing broke?
Cost. The snowdrift fell as on request.
- Do you remember every second at the helicopter that rolled into the abyss?
Oh, for sure! Well, I fell in the helicopter in the mountains! This is an interesting case. According to the actions of the pilot, I understood - the guy is inexperienced. I could not estimate the distance to the smooth, sparkling in the sun, snow. Glass slightly distorts the picture. Several times went to the landing - and in the end I was mistaken!
- Collapsed?
We are in full outfit at the door, the wind is not. I see that from the height of meters fifteen we fall a stone. They gathered on a jumper, not a very wide comb, ends with a cool icing slope. At this point, the blow from which is separated to the ceiling. Inside for a second, everything freezes. I think: Fu-y, it is necessary, lucky. But begins to flush from one side to another. I understand - we rush to the abyss!
- Helicopter delayed on the edge?
No, the ridge turned out to be wider than I expected. The slope is flat. I have in my head that the gulf is that it is next. Suddenly brake. I think the second time: Fu-y, lucky. The pilot pops up the first, haha \u200b\u200b... silently, without helping to anyone, scratching in the snow. In T-shirt and slippers, in which from Sochi flew.
- Why did I ran away?
It was frightened that the helicopter would explode. The door is blocked. I climb for someone through the porthole. Behind the backpack, the climbing structure - I do not pass. I look at the Li-8 gearbox, which rotates the screw, in the center of the ceiling. The fuel dripped on it, it is hot, the interior is filled with fervor. Kerosene Garoy. We are like in a steam room! If the spark is rushing!
- Nightmare.
Quickly-quickly stripping, throwing out the backpacks, get out ... The mechanic broke down heavily, then carried it down. The rest were separated by hematomas. Miracle
- Pilot caught up?
Well, the pilot ... wherever he goes. The day went down, gave him shoes, down jacket. In general, it is not clear who allowed him to flights. I flew a lot in the Alps - there is a pilot always in warm shoes, lies the jacket. Under the seat of the NZ with a tent, sleeping bag, primus, minimal food. If it is dark, and he broke in the mountains - no one comes to him!
- With helicopters, you have no more adventure?
In the 90s denied the engine due to poor fuel.
- So what?
Emergency leaving. Landed on some redeem. The helicopter is able to maintain control by venture. The main thing is that the pilot does not panic and, figuratively speaking, turned on neutral speed. Release the propeller from the gear gear croup. Then the screw is spinning under its own weight, the helicopter does not fall a stone. But landing is tough.
- What happened not so in Karachi, when you jumped from the Stometer building - and almost crashed?
In Karachi ... Something we have focus on solid problems. I have 11 thousand parachute jumps and one and a half thousand jumps from the cliffs. In a percentage, everything is great. I am safe athlete in this regard.
CAPTIVITY
- How much is the costume-wing?
About two thousand euros. I order almost every year. Wear a decent fabric - jumping in the mountains. In addition, new models appear, which improve the quality of the flight of percent for twenty.
- Old where to eat?
Houses lie. Sometimes I give friends. One suit scored a Serbian photographer. He has his fitness club in Belgrade. Having hung there under the glass, around my pictures that he did in co-expeditions.
- In flight - what is the sensation?
They seemed to be stuck in a hard inflatable mattress. To open the parachute, you need to strain the muscles, slightly shattered. Otherwise, to "jellyfish" without reaching. This slows down speed. What it is below, the softer will open the parachute. If we talk about visual pictures, it all depends on the type of jumping.
- What is it like?
Normal - when I just fly down. I look around, admire landscapes, I think about something. It is much more difficult to jump in the style of Proximity. Lick the slopes, pressing them on one and a half or two meters, sharply turn the right to the right, then to the left ... there is a maximum concentration. Not to landscapes.
- The most picturesque of them - during the "ordinary" jump?
Glaciers. The mountains. Jungle.
- And Kamchatka?!
Not. Kamchatka is monotonous snow volcanoes. Here the landing turned out to be spectacular. On the ocean coast, directly to the incident waves.
- You are the first in the world in the world in the age of the acting volcano.
Well yes. Flew into a two-plate funnel between the active zones of the crater. From there came hot couples, mixed with hydrogen sulfide. Long be there is impossible. Scary Snor, half a day the head crackled. The danger was in the other. If when the parachute is disclosed, problems have problems with a dome, the spin of the sling - it could fall into a boiling acid puddle.
- UV-f.
Perhaps the most vivid impression is one of the first jumps from the cliff. Venezuela, Waterfall Angel ...
- Height under a thousand meters?
979. This place was described by Conan Doyle in the novel "The Lost World". In the mountains, I always closes something overview. Neighboring comb, for example. And there under you - the endless jungle. You stand on top, twenty steps from you with a terrible roar of megatons drops water ... fantasy!
- In the jungle faced spiders, snakes?
God has fallen. Poisonous frogs saw - pretty, multicolored. To touch them is impossible. Wild bees did the best. As in the cartoon about "Mowgli". The first ray of the Sun - and you are all stolen!
- And dichlofos?
Useless. No means from insects help. It is important not to make sharp movements, close clothes. Bees do not bite. But if you fly under T-shirt, I accidentally give the armpit - it will hurt. Jungle is a solid, monotonous hum. Even at night. The darkness is such, even eye of the eye. And around everything lives, not subsidizing for a second. Infinite Wuhan, Cocan, Clospey, Buzz ...
- ... growl?
That's not it was, I won't lie. We climbed a week to Mount Autan, which is on the border of Venezuela and Colombia. When a quarter of the way remained to the top, turned back.
- Why?
Water ended. Without it, do not survive. The heat is under forty, the rock - like a hot frying pan. I jumped from the middle of the wall, calmed down, and the guys again came to conquer the Authan. So two Indians captured! They were still unhappy last time.
- What?
They were photographed, filmed on camera. Employees of the local travel agency that we were accompanied, rubbed the blizzard, dirty, they say, each photo takes the energy, part of the soul. Indians are naive, gullible. At the same time, the money is very like. Demanded MZDU. Then it was possible to open. And then they were tuned seriously. Admitted weapons, the shaman appeared.
- In feathers?
No, in a T-shirt, shorts. With amulets on the neck. Absolutely inadequate - or drunk, whether he was smoking. Said: "Fold the camp and get out to the river. Captive will give, when paying the redemption. Ten thousand dollars."
- Where to take?
In the village, locked in the hut. After three days fled.
- Underground?
Not. Christmas came, the whole village on joys came up. Indian who guarded them, he left somewhere. The guys broke a couple of boards and spedled.
- Could you get lost?
Well no. To the river, where the camp stood near a kilometer. There is a boat.
Pygmy
- You laid with aborigines?
There was a story in Papua - New Guinea. Week went through the jungle to the foot of the mountains. Pygmy dragged equipment, products. They gave us a cook, who in English mastered two dozen words. Funny small. Bought him a staff and a colander. What to do with the midst, did not realize, immediately strained. But from Durcher was delighted. Holded it in the pan vermichel, which we mainly and eat. For Pygmeys is a delicacy.
- Is it really?
Roots Yes Sweet potatoes, Batat is the whole diet. Pasta for them is too expensive, rice - especially more. And so, hindering, he took a colander, to which something stuck. The furtively ledged, lowered back into the saucepan. A minute later everything was repeated.
- And you?
When noticed, the colander was selected. Soon a new attack - the guy has witned, runny nose. They go naked. From clothes - only Katka.
- What is it?
Dick pumpkin tube. It puts on a childbody. If you are a respected member of the tribe, you can end the kaeks to decorate bird feathers.
- How lovely.
Our cook sits, prepares dinner. Smeyshes nose, snot river. Cheer nothing. We stretch your shawl - does not understand how to use. Clean the root can not. Trucks the bunch of grass, twists. It turns away from the pan, it will smell this disgrace, smeared along the face, and then prepares ... We decided to make a poor man. They gave out pants, shirts, jacket.
- was delighted?
On the contrary, disgusting. Barely persuaded. After dinner went to his camp, fifty meters from us. Usually they have everything peacefully, fun, songs until the morning. Suddenly noise-gam, fight. It turned out, he is not the most respected member of the tribe - despite the knowledge of English and the skills of cooking. The scandal began. Say, not in rank dressed up! In the morning again was naked.
- And things?
Pants and jacket shined. T-shirt hit the leader. Moreover, they gave a specially small size - pygmy are affected. And this one - with embossed muscles, reminds a player from American football. He was not embarrassed that the T-shirt was cracking on the seams. It was a strike.
- What did you want?
Money - what else? We say: "We have already paid" - "you have to add. Otherwise, it does not shift from the place."
- And you?
On Pont took. The radio was for communication between us. Included, vote: "Police! Indonesia!" The western part of the island belongs to Indonesians. Papuats them are afraid. Believed. Plus gave them a jacket with command stripes. And the leader, the main ruffer, - guitar. The incident was exhausted.
- Where did the guitar come from?
The guy from Moscow captured. He played in the evenings by the fire. The leader came, listened. He really liked Russian songs. He himself did not work, only ordered orders. Then he sat on the hillock, with his left hand held the guitar, the right in strings: "Dr R-Romain ..." and thoughtfully looked into the distance.
- At least once, did anyone from the expedition weave on the native girls?
God forbid! Yes, they are bare on the belt. But the chumased, terrible. Externally - something average between blacks and pigments. True, I read that Pypsuis from Papua - New Guinea - nation anthropologically unique. No one is like. There have recently flourished by cannibalism. Maybe you still eat each other. During civil engineers.
- with rituals met?
Periodically satisfied the feast of boar. Catch, buried, bonfire is bred above the car. Seed in rank. First - warriors, strong men. They are silent. The leader cuts off, personally gives everyone. Women and snoop children who are sitting at the end, throw the lairest, as a dog's dog.
- Help?
We did not offer. Yes, and did not want. Papuats are fodder to breathtomasses, leaving nothing for tomorrow. While everyone does not eat - do not diverge.
- The most appreciated, what did you eat in your life?
Worst of all when water ends. Especially at high altitude, where strong dehydration. In the mouth dry so that you can't swallow. Garbing the snow, begins to hurt the throat, then angina ... Horror!
- And nevertheless - tried something authentic?
In expeditions, the food is standard. Light sublimates, no exotic. This in the restaurant can be broken off. Once in Southeast Asia ordered grilled grasshoppers, some bug-cocks. Did not like.
- Apart from the crater of the volcano - the most stinking point on Earth?
India. Country odor. In the mountains, it is normal, and at the bottom there is a disgusting mixture - dirt, unwashed bodies, spices. Antisanitarian such that a squeamy man will go crazy.
- What surprised Polar Canada?
2002th, expedition to the island of Buffinova Earth. Mountains are low, grow straight from the ocean. The distribution of the wall part is one and a half kilometer. The most difficult climbing climb.
- Who lives there? Eskimos?
Inuit! Eskimo in those edges - dirty swearing! Worse than the name of African Americans - Negro! I am struck like in Canada Polar settlements are equipped. In stores there are everything, including fresh strawberries. Fast internet. For the wedding from the state, the newlyweds give a snowmobile.
- He is the main means of movement?
No, they chase on pickpockets that park to sockets. Those stick out of all houses. A spiral is installed on the machine near the starter. He stuck in the outlet - the engine is always warm ... alcohol trade once a week - on Friday after lunch. By evening, the entire village gets drunk and lies in a snowdrift.
- Familiar state?
I'm not ascetic, but the strong drinks fought for a long time. I prefer dry wine. In Europe, often train, there it is everywhere.
Konyukhov
- with Konyukhov communicated?
I even had in his expeditions. Ten years ago, he participated in the creation of extreme programs on television, and Konyukhov traveled as an operator. Fedor put the speed record, in the catamaran crossed the Atlantic.
- Is he showman?
On Urgant is not like. But some of his projects are for the most part PR. I am normal to Fedor. Imagine a standard ruler. Left at the end is written "PR", right - "Sport". The closer you are to one part, the farther from the other. However, any sailing under the sails in a limited team is an extreme thing.
- Konyukhov for something asked?
In general, I did not ask questions. He is not a curious man, is immersed entirely to himself. Reading his book seems to be Fyodor Zokiklen on religion, almost the Holy Hermit. But in ordinary life it is not striking. When they got into the storm, it was pleasantly surprised how clearly and confidently behaved. Seen is a professional sailor. There was little sense from me. Although I tried to winch. Twisted when sails changed.
- With Felix Baumgartner intersected?
Both are introducing "Red Bull" - but not yet happened.
- What did you think when in 2012 did he commit a record jump from the stratosphere?
The story of jumps from the stratosphere is rich and tragic. Our practiced from the 50s. Someone died due to the depressurization of the square, when the swollen cabin struck the glass. Someone was getting out the latch, the helmet was jammed - and suffocated. To avoid fatal consequences, you need to foresee. But from the point of view of parachute techniques in the jump of the Baumgarter - nothing special.
- How would react if you were offered to jump out of the stratosphere?
Agreed. But I'm more attracted to the sports component. And here everything rests exclusively into technical capabilities - insanely costly.
- How much money went to it?
Lot. Unique Spa Tander, Capsule ... Unfortunately, we lost the technology of gel starts. If in the USSR, at least in the stratosphere launched gel balls, now we have not in principle. Only in France da in the USA, where Baumgartner and worked.
- What question would ask him when meeting? You do not graze.
Baumgartner was never professionally engaged in parachute sports. I have an experience completely different level. In this sense, ask him nothing. But to chat for life it would be interesting.
Baumgarter has two tattoos: Born to Fly (born to fly) and 502 - a room received from the American Basejamp Federation. Do you have a knack?
None. Since childhood is associated with prison. And what to fill? Everest in the whole back? A familiar skier unsuccessfully performed on games in Sochi. So on the biceps of Nakolol Olympic rings with one unprofitable.
- Funny.
I seriously think about the tattoo in Florida. In the 90s moved there to train all year round. In Russia, parachute sports is expensive. In the States - more affordable, respectively, the party is simpler. Hipsting guys, with long hair, earring, stupid tattoos, like "born flying". I constantly communicated with them, I decided not to lag behind. Went in Tattoo Salons, leafed catalogs.
- What were the options?
I myself did not understand what I want. Tiger on the shoulder? It is not so powerful. It will look ridiculous. Restricted to the fact that punctured ear. Tattoo for life, and the earrings pulled out and forgotten. After that, immediately won the X-Games. What was cooler than the Gold Medal of the World Championship! Yeah, I think the earring attracts good luck. Since then, do not take off.
- There were dots on the map where were not, but dream of visiting?
For example, Alaska. I would like to return to Papua New Guinea. It was not enough long in the mountains of Ecuador and Peru. In the summer I just plan to escape there.
- Clear, you do not bring magnets from trips. What?
Why? The fridge magnet is a pretty tradition. Before that there were mugs, plates. In Africa, bought the figures of animals from ebony. From Papua New Guinea brought a rope with feathers. Not in rank.
- Someone removed - in respect?
What do you! That would not be touched. Kakeks are sold there in souvenir shops. Gorgeous gift to friends.
- What are you reading in expeditions?
I have three e-books, but he did not adapt to them. Only old kind paper. Travels are great, Pelagia. Now discovered new Akunin for himself. His cycle "The History of the Russian State" - Glitter! From childhood I am fond of this topic. If Lev Gumileva about the Tatar-Mongolian IHE is written so that you are helping, then Akunin sets out a juicy, affordable language. Recently, cooled to fiction. Fantasy as a genre does not perceive. But unexpectedly became the fan of "Games of Thrones".
- Are you about the book?
About the film. Because of the thigh fracture, several months did not go anywhere and hooked on American TV shows. Today they are removed better than the full meter.
- Called yourself to think that with age calmer feel about things that should swing?
At all, they will not get used to base jumps - always new conditions, well-being. The project on Everest was preparing for two years. It happened, went to bed, remembered where I'm going. From excitement could not fall asleep until the morning. Then R-times - and this is embodiment! Of course, Bodriti! An explosion of emotions!
- What moments do you understand that you already 51?
I do not feel age. Worries that sores accumulate. The older, the more it is required to restore. I'm not going to change your lifestyle. But if the inner motivation will disappear or the injuries will finish - finish. It does not scare. Perceive as a given.
- The soul will not ask adrenaline?
Adrenaline nothing! I am a categorical opponent of this theory! Yes, he excuses blood when he is very worried or the instinct of self-preservation is triggered. But for me it has long been familiar sensations. Jump not for the sake of them.
- Many admire your courage. And whose?
There was no idol sodium. Yes, and courage - the concept is abstract. Just have things that fascinate. Suppose jumping on kayak from waterfalls. Or surfing. In my head does not fit, as a person rides in the "pipe", inside a giant spinning wave?! In Florida, he tried to master skiing on the board, was convinced of how difficult it was.
- You do not want to try on kayak from the waterfall?
Not. To each his own.
December 20 - 40 days from the date of the tragic death of one of their most famous Russian athletes-extremal Valery Pokova. December 26, he would have been 53 years old. Beisjumper's close friends at the request "SE" told about him what no one knew.
Valery Rosov - Legend Basejmping. He jumped into the crater of the current volcano Mutnovsky in Kamchatka, installed the record of the height of the base jump after a three-week rise to the top of Cho-Oyu, overcame in the Tatar strait in Wingsuit ... and this is only a tiny part of its achievements. Valery's last in life, Valery's jump made 40 days ago from Mount Ama Dablam in the Himalayas.
Jump with pink - reason for pride for life
The leading channel of the channel Anatoly Kuzichev is not a parachutist, but with pink it is united by a lot.
In the early 2000s, Valera and Maxim Malanchuk (Russian Basejumper, tragically died in the mountains of the Caucasus in 2013. - approx. "SE") was a small studio of television production. They have already been engaged in different extreme projects, trying to convert their unique connections and skills in a successful way to earn. After some time, they agreed to make a small rubric about Extreme in the morning program. Then we met. In 2002, the heading rose into the program "My crazy friends." In it, we told about my incredible buddies - Roshov with Malanchuk, and about many other such strange and amazing people. It was an extremely interesting job - we lit all: from kayaking to Basejmping. And visiting us visited the best representatives of these, then more exotic, completely unfamiliar sports. We also made a film in honor of the 50th anniversary of the first ascent on Jomolungma - "Everest is the best gift to the queen."
Once, Malanchuk and Roses gave me a certificate for a parachute jump. I wanted to feel at least a drop of what these extremes are experiencing. I even thought: "I'm familiar with Pink! Just jumping with him - already a reason for pride for the rest of my life!". But did not dare. First, it was afraid that the parachute would not open. Secondly, I decided that I could not be a parachute "skibam". Skibami are such people, skiers, or snowboarders who chase around the planet for the winter. From the Alps - in Himalayas, from there - to Andes. He was afraid that he would be carried away and I can not stop.
And although I never jumped, Valera expressed me recognition in another sphere. He made me the main compliment in my journalistic career. By creating the stories, I figured it up with the same thoughts and impressions for him. He was almost never satisfied with all the hundred, always edited my work. And once said: "You know, this time you described me better what I would like to say." I have never heard anything more steep in my life. He strongly inspires when such incredible people like roses are appreciated.

The President of the Mountaineering Federation of Russia Andrei Volkov was also a close friend of Rosh. The former rector of the Skolkovo business school and the doctor of technical sciences told how he remembers the legendary besjumper.
We met at the USSR Championship in Alpinnism, - recalls wolves. - performed on the wall "Free Korea". And met in 2003, when I started jumping with a parachute. Imagine what the difference between the Honored Master of Sports on Parachute Sports and Man who masters this type of activity. But Valera talked with me, as with equal - no snobs. And in two years, we already jumped together and in 2005 participated in the record of the country on a massive parachute rug. It is now for me more than 150 climbing for 38 years and three hundred base jumps.
At one time I went with him almost all the trips. To Germany, Austria, Italy, Norway - where there are mountains and jump walls. Together we read books, watched the movies, argued about the fate of our homeland. Usually, when we jumped together, Valera jumped first, and by landing by the radio gave his comment. Sometimes he said: "Andrei, I do not recommend"! For me, it sounded like the law - stopped even thinking about the jump. He thus took high responsibility for himself - assessed my condition, the complexity of the point of separation and weather conditions. By the way, when I was the rector of the Skolkovo Business School, Valera was there a popular speaker. He told how people make decisions in extreme situations.
Just imagining the jump, any beer is experiencing fear. In this state, the athlete does not need to be artificially brought. But this is not a panic, but the level of anxiety. Total I made more than 300 jumps. The first 20-30 cause a real animal horror. Fall into emptiness - unnatural for man. It is laid at the level of psychophysiology. Even when I had 100-150 jumps, the sensors showed that at the time of separation from the cliff and opening parachute, the pulse jumps. During the flight you like a bird. It is impossible to imagine it. But there is no euphoria - you are completely concentrated and assembled. Condition, as before an important duel. And after the jump comes joy. Everyone is jumping for this pure happiness.
Jumping Valera is the edge of the possibilities in Base
Once, - continues Anatoly Kuzichev. - We did the program about the Base Festival in Malaysia. Pinks and a large company of Beserov from different countries jumped from towers in Kuala Lumpur, famous petroneas Twin-Towers. One beer there did not catch the air flow. And the camera installed on the helmet fixed everything. And how he hit the house, and how then flew through the Kubarem. As then received many fractures. But the main thing - it remained alive. Valera was then calm and described in detail what he did wrong, and what - exactly, why and remained alive. So - meant composure and collens. Often it is necessary to explain that extremes are not the people who are torn in the mountains with screams: "Furiate, so with music!". This is not at all about Rosh. At first, Valera studied the landing place, the place of separation, the weather. The level of thoughtfulness is incredible. With at least a drop of the depolit and the first jump would be the last. Get out the driver - the worst thing that could be in his work. It is necessary to motivate yourself. The slightest loss mood could lead to collapse. Perhaps he felt it, but drove offended by himself. Although Valera was doing this all life ...
November 10, when the news came about his death, everyone was dumbfounded. I lost a very close person. And he died where he was not equal. "How so?" - The question arose at all. Andrei Volkov's answer to this difficult question
I have two versions, why tragedy occurred, "he says. - First: jumping in high mountains - rarity. Capable of such extremals can be counted on the fingers of one hand. I think Rosov was tired after climbing the seven thousandths. Five days of Valera was already high in the mountains. And at the height of more than six thousand meters, the body is not restored completely - only consumes strength over time. It could affect the response and decision-making. Although I saw photos and shooting. I can say that the separation from the rock was regular and unmistakable.
The second version: pressure drops and strongly fired air created an air failure. In the ultrahigh complexity of the jump it could play an important role. To the "first shelf" 85 meters. These jumps of Rosov himself called "uncompromising". In this case, you do not have the right to admit a single inaccuracy. This is the edge of the possibilities in Base. This makes a maximum, seven or eight people. There would be at least 600 meters of free vertical - you can even do a double flip, and there is no right to make a mistake! At the first time, the first time everything went successfully, and in the second jump there was an annoying misunderstanding. The subtle effect of height and cold air has been tragically. Although he did not do any rough mistake.

It is impossible to be too careful
I somehow thought that Valera was an adult, he was already 50, "says Anatoly Kuzichev. - At this age, the athletes finish with the craft. In boxing, the reaction and speed are no longer those in football - endurance. And in Basejmping, the main skill is cool, the ability to be a panic. This could be done for a long time. But it is impossible to be too careful all the time. The more jumps - the greater the probability of negligence.
Somehow we were in Italy, I had to put forward in the mountain. Together with the film crew distributed things, and I had a difficult share - to drag a tripod. Mom collected in the mountains and wife, I seemed to the wolf of his eternity. With difficulty add-to-top, and then the director examined the panorama of the upcoming shooting and said that it was better to shoot with hands. I was remembered the whole trip of Valera: "Tolya, a tripod is not needed!". But then the guys gave me the "Alpanist of the USSR" icon. His shore, as a Zenitsa Oka, because they wanted to make a pleasant - the heart is compressed from it.
I king myself that we communicated so little lately. Valera was absolutely outstanding. It can not be perceived as a harsh parachute. He knew how to listen, it was always interesting to think with him. He did not have ready-made stamps. If I was asked to draw the image of a real man, then the most part would be there from Roshov.

Rosov was a pioneer in sports
Valera pushed the idea of \u200b\u200bhuman capabilities, "said Andrei Volkov. - He was a pioneer in sports. It was a test! Romantic is not against the mountains, but to people, roses were idealist. Valera jumped for the sake of the process! Just he did it so great that the jumps allowed him to earn. They moved thirst for research. He tried, experimented and spent a lot of time on it. He read a lot, performed a great intellectual work. Valera was his own instructor and analyst. Laboratory man! Very few athletes with such a self-discipline. Beyce was continuous increasing complexity. Roses raised the bar with such a tempo that everyone around could not stand it. We jumped a lot together, but at some point it became impossible to fit.
The combination of incompatible - idealism and calcality did it with a creative person. He created a new one. And was devoted to the same case. He dedicated to this life. Rosov, not looking at the circumstances and points of view, moved by one course. Few people capable of such.
Rosov was very worried when other baseers were expressed unfair. He was a leader, and so always envy. Some criticized Valera for being sacrificed with newcomers like me. But we are all very different, ran around it. In 2005, all these extraordinary people, his future friends, began to learn from Roshov. Valera was a superate, and we walked behind him. And roses spent hours on explanations and answered any questions. This its altruistic pedagogical practice amazes. Although then it seemed natural to us. This I appreciate the most majestic achievements. I started jumping in 43 years! This is madness from a household view! Only reliable and sincere person can come to this!

Fee
We loved to jump in Italy, - continues wolves. - After landing, I was missed by a pair of Boxers "Proskko". Valera loved him very much. And two years ago, jumped in France from the "Maglan" wall. Well came off, revealed, and then I was mistaken and pleased in high-voltage wires. They hung low above the ground, but I slipped between them, although the distance was a little more than a meter. I could burn. But Valera said nothing. Smiled, shook his head and that's it. Another would have broken up with Grozny Tirara, and roses never remembered this jump.
The last time we saw a couple of months before death. I had a course in the Himalayas. Valera called when I was already in Kathmandu. I asked if I do not want to join his expedition, since I was acclimatized. I had to refused - there was a lot of work, and did not jump in the costume-wing for a year and a half. Then I did not feel any special in his voice, there were no forebodies. Valera was with his family, prepared for the jump, only tried the new suit.
But you must admit, Base has an end, like mountaineering. As with the other. Or you stop, or continue. Once you say: "I can't reach, I can not take the next height." And he, despite age, did the fact that in principle could not do at 40, nor in 45 years. Yes, technical means objectively began to improve. Those costumes in which we jump, have become better. But it's just a rag! It will only work if you do everything right. Rosov shifted the idea of \u200b\u200bthe maximum of human capabilities. But I do not think that he chased his death. Valera realized the risk of his case.
Somehow roses said: "My big dream is to stay alive, live to old age and see how children grow up." It turns out, she was not fulfilled. He sacrificed a dream. Such is the fee for the great thing he was engaged.
