For the filming of Tomb Raider 2 we were given the task of organising a BASE jump sequence from a tower block in Hong Kong with the added complications of using Birdman suits.

This stunt had never been done before and as there are not many experienced BASE jumpers who are also experienced with Birdman suits it was difficult to organise the selection and training of a team that would do it justice.

After intensive searches and verification of skills etc, I suggested using Team Bautasten, Simon Crane endorses my selection and over the next few months my time was filled with preparation the stunt.

Mikael Nordqvist is one of the most experienced basejumpers in Scandinavia. He is also one of the two jumpers that started Team Bautasten.

Per "PerFlare" Eriksson is one of the most active basejumpers in Sweden today. Per is the other basejumper, of the two original members of Team Bautasten.

Martin Rosén is the most recent member of Team Bautasten and also the youngest. Martin was ask to join the Team in 2001.

We also had the to organise the parachute jump into the landrover in Kenya and the deployment of the parachutes ejecting Lara Croft and her co star from the 2 man aircraft before it crashed.
