GRAVITY OUTLAW
BIOGRAPHY; I left the UK in the early 90's to travel the World. I had no idea what was coming up, it proved to be the best move I ever did. Whilst in Australia drinking and causing mayhem, I stumbled upon a small climbing Company, "Pure Aussie Action Adventure Tours" run by ex SAS Trooper Macka Mackail.
At the end of the day he performed a Karabiner Run Down, "which I thought was the monkeys nuts". I pursued him, to give me a job and teach me. He gave me that job, no wages, just food & lodgings, I began to absorb everything like a giant sponge. We took the Karabiner run down changed the name to Rap Jumping developed the product for the tourist market in Far North Queensland "Cairns". I remember taking out 1 client a week, we were eating fresh air, but still we carried on. We tried and tested loads of different systems to make it faster, this is where I picked up most of the injuries that haunt me today. If you do a Google search on Rap Jumping you can see it's become World recognized, all from a humble begin. I'm very proud to be a part of this Extreme Sport.
I've gave up my 9-5 job last year 2006 to concentrate on Gravity Outlaw. The T Shirt business funds my new endeavours, thank you if you've made a purchase, if not please do have a look, fresh air tastes like shit!!!! Thanks for reading. Colin.
