We can always stand to do a little brown-nosing toward the good people of TF... especially now that they have to live with you on a full-time basis. For real though, my money is on Baxter.

base570 1 #31 March 7, 2006 I have a name for the competition...... --------The Tom Manship Memorial IronBASE Invitational---------- I though it was appropriate since this is what Tom did everyday thereMaybe the proceeds could go to a fund in Tom's name that helps to keep the park clean or something like that. Oh, I just thought of another idea for the competition. Why not have a side catagory for most trash hauled out of the bottom.

This would be a nice gesture Jason 570 Abbie came over for dinner last night and we discussed this and did a bit of planning. It looks like this is going to happen. We're guessing that it will be Labor Day weekend, rather than Memorial Day weekend, because it will give us a better shot at an all-day weather window. I'll post our draft of ideas when I get a chance.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Treejumps 0 #44 March 8, 2006 Labor day is no good. Thats the day you aren't supposed to labor. Memorial day on the other hand fits in perfectly with the Manship Memorial Ironbase Comp idea. Besides, Ironbase is all about jumping rain or shine. Strong winds? Suck it up and jump. Anyone can jump hard in nice weather, isn't this Ironbase? You can do Tutubase comp on Labor Day for the softies. Of course this has nothing to do with the fact that the entire local crew is already booked to out there on May 24 - 29, nothing at all. If it works out for Mem. day weekend I'll be glad to give a trash packing seminar for those needing to trim some time off thier packjob. It will only last 10 minutes though.

K763 0 #47 March 9, 2006 I love the idea of the Tom Manship Memorial Iron BASE Competition. And although the idea of some of the fund going to keeping Centennial Park cleaned up and in good repair is a good one, I think the money could be used to higher purpose, such as a children's educational program. I'm all for giving the kids all the help we can, especially in education, health, and general welfare. TF is basically a small community with farming and ranching as the basis of the economy (Tom correct me as you know way more about TF) so there isn't as much money to spare for children's welfare as in a more urban setting. Centennial Park is well maintained in general, and since our future is the children in 15-20 years I think the proceeds would be better spent there. Besides, as BASE jumpers grateful for the freedom of jumping the Perrine I feel it's OUR duty to clean up the park at the end of the day. I've spent many sunsets gathering cans and trash and tidying up the Park before pulling out. The registration and pledge amounts seem high at $150 and $2500; maybe $50 to register and whatever you can get for per jump pledges would allow more people to participate. Also, keeping in mind that we are doing this as a memorial and benefit, hopefully guys won't be killing themselves to win the trophy. Being safe and having fun are the most important aspects; the money raised and how that's spent is secondary, and winning the trophy is just the gravy on the Idaho mashed potatoes. BASE competitions always tend to make me nervous as I'm afraid the young, bulletproof set is likely to lose sight of how dangerous BASE jumping is. Maybe participants should meet certain jump requirements to keep it safe and sane. Just my .02 cents which is worth about 2 cents. Peace, Karen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #49 March 9, 2006 QuoteI was also thinking that a potion of the donation could be to the local S&R, or maybe the local ER. Local SAR doesn't take donations. However, the Life Flight operation that runs critically injured BASE jumpers to the regional trauma center in Boise does. You can also get a membership, which in addition to being handy if your insurance won't pay up, is a good way to provide ongoing support. More information here.
