pope 0 #1 December 16, 2005 True to our word, Triax Productions has managed to get the Bridge Day 2005 DVD finished and delivered by Christmas! Those of you who have already ordered your DVD, it should be arriving by mid-week next week. For those of you who haven’t purchased your BD ’05 DVD yet, you have a bit of time still to pick one up in time to stuff a stocking on Xmas day with it. Place your order by Saturday morning at 10, and we’ll be able to deliver it in time for Christmas! Please visit the Triax web page to order and find out a bit more about it. This year’s DVD gives you about two and a half hours of edited footage, complete with bonus sections! If you made your first jump at Bridge Day this year, this DVD is a must have! A separate section with all the first timer jumps, [roughly] categorized by jump time catches your exit, freefall, opening, and canopy ride/landing. A great way to keep your first ever BASE jump in your memory forever! Of course, there is the “boogie edit” as well, covering the highlights, lowlights ;^) beauty, daring, and ahem…[I]Carnage[/I]. We made sure that the boogie edit doesn’t exclude the flat n’ stable or run-of the-mill gainers, but believe me, it doesn’t exclude some of the crazy stuff that went on there either, from the Mr. Bert to the double Lundy to some idiot collapsing his canopy into the water from about 100’, we got it all. Thanks everyone for making this year’s Bridge Day one to remember!! Cheers, pope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triaxial 0 #2 December 16, 2005 Even though I was there for the whole thing, even though I was behind the scenes, in front of the scenes and sometimes next to the scenes.(which is good on some occasions). With all that said, I just got done watching this DVD for the 7th time in the last three days. Its a good one boys and girls. Along with the Lumber Jack Club and other crazy assortments there is pure fun to be had. Soon to be announced will be the rules for the BD 2005 DRINKING GAME. Stay posted. Order today!

Share this post Link to post Share on other sites rpersi 0 #16 December 28, 2005 Lame as well. Wasted $50. Someone should get a poll going whether it was worth the money or a waste since a MAJORITY of jumpers did not make any of the footage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Triaxial 0 #17 December 28, 2005 I went to my first BD four years ago and paid the $50 bucks for a dvd to see my first jump. I watched the entire DVD once and put it on the shelf. Reason: While it was cool to see my jumps it was like watching them on the viewfinder of my buddies camera with someone blaring random music in the background over the car stereo. Clarification: BD DVDs have been shot and edited to show each and every jump. Triax instead has tried to take the DVD in a new direction with thought process to the organization, feel, edit, story telling and love of the BD DVDs. We made sure to use the best staff, with the best skills, cameras and equipment. Unfortunatly, it is not possible to capture 100% of the market for purchase of the DVDs. We made a financial decision to not lose money this year and only edit one DVD which had all the above story and feel. We picked the people that were doing their first jump to have a section because those were the ones that tend to buy the DVD more often. I know Jason does not do BD to make money, but he certainly does not do it to lose money. Solution: While we try to do all we can to be "all things to all people" its just impossible. I personally am very proud of this product and the other products that Triax Productions produces. Triax puts many many hours into BD to produce a product that we can stand behind. I guess now is the time for the masses to speak. If you would like a straight DVD with just: Jump - Freefall- Canopy - Landing -Jump - Freefall- Canopy - Landing-Jump - Freefall- Canopy - Landing -Jump - Freefall- Canopy - Landing then speak now. or To try and continue the evolution on BASE documentation, shooting angles, and editing love creativeness.

The Bridge Day video is a historical record, not a "base video," per se. People buy other base videos to see unusual or themed jumps or to see what their friends are doing or to see what's new. They buy the Bridge Day video as a memento of the year's biggest base boogie, as well as to see themselves jumping. You should've have warned people that you were going for "artistic" this year.

My dad had the same video as myself but was a first timer so he was on the DVD. I also greatly enjoyed the interview with NickD and the El Cap stories. “We thought we could freefall low enough and be fine………WE WERE WRONG! ” I do agree with avenfoto though, “where is the jon drgan/bill bird ash jump?

I still believe that the video should be a historical record; however, if Triax explained what they were planning to do (and they did--on Friday and on Saturday), it's not their fault that some people weren't following along. What Tom said in the poll thread is true: the BD video has always been the subject of whining. Will (RIP, darlin') used to take a lot of shit for everything about which it was possible to bitch and then some. But if these guys told everyone (the Friday meeting was mandatory, remember?) what they intended to do, the only point open to debate that I can see is what the video should be next time, not what it is this time. rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

That's some going !!! I guess my experience of bridgeday was different .. because i could have packed and made a third jump that day (and maybe made the dvd), but instead i decided to stop and help a newbie (yes someone with even less than my 34 jumps !!!) who was having problems packing,so i left with two jumps and great memories ...
