Somewhere about midway between the closest I've ever been to it and the farthest from it I've been.

I'm about 4 1/2 years from my "qualifying" BASE jump (my 'A').

I am as close as it will take Global Postal services to get my number to me... It was issued on Monday (Apr 12th)!

I actually feel BASE since I jumped my last object (B)to complete the word. That was March 11th.

However, I agree with Faber about BASE being more a lifestyle than ´just´ the objects or numbers!

The experiences are priceless!

BASE#???

...BASE#892. ...



Congratulations. I think the numbers are an amazing way to stay in touch with the roots of our sport.

I can't wait to see #1000 come out. Maybe we can all throw a big BASE party. :)

This may have been asked and answered already and if so sorry for the repeat. It seams that there has been a substantial up surge in the number of people receiving their BASE numbers and I’m curious if any one has any real data that shows when this up surge actually began and, has it slowed down any and if so when.

Craig had a web site up trying to do that. He was working on voluntarily contributed data, though, so it wasn't a complete sampling.

It'd be quite a project to do a good analysis, and I don't think RH is going to let anyone have the raw data, since it's confidential.

Let me see if I can find Craig's web site...

First let me say that I have no idea how much work it would be to discover the trends but I wonder if RH would be so kind to consider taking a look. If so, that would be cool. Do you know him well enough to ask?

I did some work on the numbers for Craig about 6 months ago. I can't find the file but if he still has it I don't see any reason why Craig wouldn't share the results (though maybe not the raw data). I made a prediction for the dates of BASE 900 and BASE 1000. Damned if I can remember them though.

I'll keep looking and post the dates when (if) I find 'em.

Skin,

You predicted July 19th 2004 for number 900 and March 1st 2006 for number 1000, and judging by Joris' number that may be a little out, but as you said, this was 6 months ago, and the latest issued number has advanced by about 50 on what you were working with then. Perhaps it's time to re-run the numbers again?
