60ft cliff stowed!!

Recommended Posts

welcome to the wonderful world of SKI-BASEing. Worlds lowest BASE ever. Just hucked a 60ft cliff with a 46" STOWED. Think you know ground-rush... quit BASE jumping before you even think of attempting this!! Soon ill do this shit without a cliff. What will people call that.. a Ground BASE? The revolution has begun... BITCHES!!

I think we should start with relating what im talking about in relation to the modern and post-modern movements. You can relate BASE jumping to the modernist movement. This is where people took skydiving and refined it to utilizing the tool of the parachute to its pure essence. All you have to do is find something tall enough and use the parachute. So what’s next?? Can you revolutionize the sport? You don’t need a 200ft cliff to do this. You don’t need height, all you need is space. :S

Dude, Im so inspired by the revolution. What are you talking about. There are no pipes involved, just speed and space. Have you ever seen anyones' deploy sequece happen 20ft off the ground and still fly away from it. I have and yes... the revolution has begun.

revolution

n 1: a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving

Um... maybe I'm a little slow, or dense, but I'm failing to see how jumping a 60 foot cliff is going to revolutionize a sport like BASE jumping.

The crew doing the amazing flights in Superterminal, in my opinion, are revolutionizing not only BASE jumping, but body flight in general.

I've seen my own deployment sequence complete less than 20 feet from an impact that would have killed me. I didn't run around spraying about a revolution.

Thanks!:D I have a crappy clip that I recorded off a TV with my digicamera (4.5Mb) of one of my Students, B| Peter the Rocket man testing a new set up. I could send it out to ya if you really want to see how low you can go.
Let me know,
take care,

This is so lame!

60' might be ok for special olympics. Cool people (like frenchies) launch from 0', and they use no stinking skies either.

bsbd!

Hello,
There are revolutions going on, but it has nothing to do with BASE jumping.
If anyone thinks that anything in this sport matters as far as the end of their nose, well........

God bless you anyway.

That clip is on SkydivingMovies.com, as part of a larger clip of mid-Euro BASE. I can't remember the name of the short vid, but it's the one where you see Dwain's huge, clunky watch in frame as he goes to pull off the bridge. It's got both clips of Peter (the snowboard and the motorcycle) that I've seen.

Hi
I don't mean this post to criticize but personally I don´t like low jumps that much, I´d rather jump a big 3000 ' cliff and being on freefall for over 25 sec. anytime than being one sec on the air and landing.

Low jumps present more hazards to your landing and I try to minimize the risks on every jump, big cliffs give you more time to prepare for landing and also to pray when you get yourself on a difficult situation he he!!

PS As I said before this is just my opinion It doesn´t mean I don't do or like low jumps I just prefer big cliffs.

I've got no problem with people wanting to push the limits of the evolution of human flight. People do die doing this, but we as a human race wouldn't be where we are if we didn't take risks pushing the existing limits that have been set. But please do two things here. Keep your successful/unsuccessful jumping escapades away from the media and thus out of the whuffo publics eyes. I have enough trouble right now with trying to tell a Product Manager that I'm not automatically going to die because I skydive (god forbid if she ever finds out that I've BASE jumped). And secondly please don't tell us that we're whimps because some of us choose not to push the limits. I don't BASE jump to impress others. I BASE jump because it gives myself personal satisfaction and adventure.

So is there any video to share so that we have a better idea as to what happened?


Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Did I mention that STOWED in this case means my rig was still STOWED in my stash bag on my back?

I just got back to work after 4 months rehab...
