Uh, you DO realise that I was taking the piss looking at the suggested nominations, right?

bitter? nah, just not very serious and ever so sweet...

Oh, my mistake. I thought it was just more or your usual knee-jerk anti-American bile. Now I see it wasn't that at all. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I would not have responded, but I thought it was just more of your usual knee-jerk anti-813 bile.

Seriously, never take me seriously... after all this time and people still believe I am really anti american...


Happy Holidays and Happy New Year my American friends....

[skreamer 1]

Don't you worry Jaap, we got your number.

Next time bring your rig, it shows intent. We get a lot of tourists here who talk a good BASE jump.

oh come on, who are you kidding?

why bother bringing a rig to the UK?

the weather is always terrible..

for example, I bet you'll never manage to drag 4 of you UK locals out at night to go jump in crazy high winds (and some rain too)...

even if it is really early, like before dinnertime...

thanks dudes!

would've been nice though if the hard men who were talking all kinds of scary jumps in the UK (in that other thread a while back) actually bothered replying to my PMs and took me out to one of those scary jumps....

to keep this on topic, though, I would like to nominate a British person (cannot name him) for the 'best BASE priorities', for putting BASE before some other big event and coming to jump in crazy winds rather than wrapping himself in cotton until his big event.

[skreamer 1]

GB jumped because UncleCharlie jumped, he loves him.

Personally I am only using UncleCharlie to get to Robi - he is my hero. And yes, those conditions were fucked. I shouldn't have jumped, but I am weak.

Here's our pick...

Our nomination goes to Johnny Utah talking to an aussie girl, whilst out at the Horner in Lauterbrunnen.

He first proclaimed that he was the best BASE jumper in the world and when asked if he was serious, replied: "Hey, Einstein knew he was brilliant."

First I was thinking in nominating Johnny Utah in the category “Best official sportive achievement” because he holds the BASE world champion title from around 1987 to 2004, but unfortunately these awards are only for the present year and Chad has finally made it and got the title for 2005.
But I agree, Johnny is nominated for Best quote.


I also want to add 3 new categories;
- best low pull (also here you must survive the jump but it’s allowed to get hurt)
- best wingsuit pilot
- biggest balls

For the best low pull I nominate the main man DX (forgive me my friend), see the enclosed picture.
For best wingsuit pilots I nominate Loic and Yuri.

For best contribution to the sport I nominate Tom A for giving free 7 days FJC, for doing all the internet work and for writing articles (but to be fair, he can afford to do this because he has a lot of free time)
I also nominate Mr Nick D, also for doing a lot of writing and informing.

For the category biggest balls I nominate Russel. Normally when he is doing a jump, it seems that he is the only one that is not shitting his pants. He can be glad that you don’t have to pay beer for first things in BASE, he has done a lot of test jumping...

Please keep on bringing the nominees…

Then again ME!! for this Excelent LowPull in LB (Last scene)

And CJ for "Best talk out of a shitty situation" when we after a [email protected] came across some local nonjumpers who pulled out a chainsaw from the trunk and CJ pulled out his Camera and the Camera won the duel... (This is why the cliff Buddah has it's name, but like other goodstuff in life it's a long storry)

Johnnyb out, enjoy xmas everybody

Not only is he weak, he's also a slow learner! Hmmm, both of the guys who went back for more are from South Africa. Coincidence? I think not!

huh? jumping in UK is fine,i only think of 1 trip to UK were i got less than 10jumps in a week,that trip i only made 9 or so...

Quote

I bet you'll never manage to drag 4 of you UK locals out at night to go jump in crazy high winds (and some rain too)...

But thats as they always end up at the pub before a jump,soon as they get a pint too much and looking at thier favorite sport(football) you´ll never get them out from there.
Besides you´ll need to call them mincers arses etc before they start listning.

I never heard he let people/jumpers down,and i know he has alot of work theese days,just watch out the most hardcore is to survive just one night in his house

merry xmas guys(no im not early,i live in DK and ill get my pressents in a few hours)

Stay safe
