My CodePlex Jump from tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere – The Full Video
Just like the kiwi bird down here in New Zealand, I proved that I too am flightless. The 7 minute video explains it all.
You can find this full version at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcc4KRrZpI0
Or watch just the jump from the ground looking up at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKvQLb2UKXg
Special thanks to Sky Jump! for lettings us film and TechEd Online New Zealand for making the jump happen and for putting the full edited video together.

Did I read today about New Zealand having a "test" of their version of the Emergency Broadcast System? Or was it a 'false alarm' going off?! Supposedly it was the "cry heard around the world north and south!!! Congrats for facing your fears! =) ;)Anonymous

Strange...I didn't hear "Go Codeplex" or anything else similar...it all just seemed to be "help help" and "ahhhhhh"! However I must disagree with the critique of your "running" style...I've watched the performance several times and because your arms were involved I'd have to say it was more like "swimming"! In a few months when your adrenaline returns to normal, you seriously must blog about the experience. You've got more guts than I do! You ROCK Sara!Anonymous

That has to be both the funniest and bravest thing I've seen in a while. The running through the air bit at the top had me literally LOL'ing. So what's next, sky diving from an airplane with a big CodePlex on your parachute?Anonymous

Yes, i am screaming "Go CodePlex." It is after the inital death cry and before the loudest death cry. it is about 3-4 seconds into the free fall. It sounds like "help me," (strangely enough) but it is really "Go CodePlex." Just listen for 3 words "Go Code Plex" in the free fall. I figured if i was going to die, at least make it worth something ;-)Anonymous

Would that have been basic form 1 you were demonstrating on the way down? :-) What was the max speed the system allows you to fall? You rock Sara!Anonymous

Based on comments here, I'm glad I don't have speakers here at work. I fully intend to watch it at home though. Looks like loads of fun, but I guess you're not planning on doing it again in a hurry...Anonymous

I believe the "one word" you were looking for was 'trapped' Good job But Um I'm a bit stuck for the user story for this, could you help me finish this? AS THE Microsoft Program Manager for CodePlex I WANT to jump off the tallest building in S H-sphere SO THAT (um here's where I need the help)Anonymous

Nice job, that looked like fun but why jump from a building when you can jump from a plane :D The people want to see you jump from a plane next. Go open source ! ..and may microsoft go under because they don't do open source really (only when they can get some cash from it, Hyper-V, need i say more?) ...not that i matters at all but was something censored/blurred out ? It happens more often then you think, wink-wink, you what i mean ;)Anonymous
