Recommended Posts

sooooooooooo,

do you have carpet in your garage or do you have a separate room dedicated to parachutes ?

His entire apartment is dedicated to parachutes. If you looked just to the left of that photo, I'd bet you'd see a sewing machine, or a rack to hang canopies, or both. And that's the living room.

I'm tempted to go hang all my rigs on the rack in the garage and take a photo. :P

fine ... My wife would kill me if I did that. But god damn, does that look nice ...

Just so I don't look lame, here's a pic during a recent 3 jumper trip.

I'm pretty sure his girlfriend encourages it. In fact, I think half of those rigs are hers.

Since I don't know anything about rigs (except for what I've read and seen here) I'm confused as to which rigs are which. My guess-the 4 rigs to the left are BASE rigs, and the 3 to the right are skydiving rigs. Am I right?


The sole intention, is learning to fly.Condition grounded, but determined to try.Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies.Tongue tied and twisted, just an Earth bound misfit.

Correct



I'll take one of each. ;)
SONIC WOODY #146

There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

That picture gave me a shot of energy as I said to myself "I don't need to be sitting here on my ass in front of this computer"

I'm a gear freak too -- at one point, I had 9 rigs.

Perigee Pro w/ Mojo 280
Perigee II w/ Ace 280 Composite ZP
Perigee Pro w/ Ace 280
Perigee W w/ Tektite
Javelin w/ Stiletto 150
Javelin w/ Spectre 150
Vector III w/ Spectre 170
Talon II w/ PD-253 (for demos)
Eclipse Tandem w/ Icarus 400

But I left my full-time jumping job, and no longer have 2 of the skydiving rigs. Perhaps it's time for more BASE gear...

*ahem* donations? You clearly have some gear to spare.
I really don't know what I'm talking about.

here is the rope side of the deal...
What you see is...
2- 220meter x 16mm HTN ropes
5- 100meter 11.6mm nylon static ropes
6- 9.3-10.5mm dynamic lines
plus 300kg of random biners, pulleys, anchors, plates, belays, and everything else it takes to build frasca. there is a BASE rig in one of those bags...

cheers! goodnight BASE world... or should i say, goodmorning my local A, its been awile. wish me luck!

I read in my BASE handbook we are supposed to use a 42 for this...- JH

they unpack so much faster than they pack. It's odd really


perhaps you should learn how to pack faster.. i think i pretty much showed you this summer that it aint the packjob that matters:P
