ClosingLoop 0 #1 November 11, 2006 Theoretical Question. In my last visit to TF, i have seen people kiting/tarding/lazing to pack their canopies of the bridge. Does it make it a B.A.S.E jump? and if so, would GLC count as E? is there any minimum of freefall required ? Any moron that jumps from his Condo roof + direct-tv dish + small bridge + garden rock can claim BASE number these days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my opinion if someone wants to earn a BASE # they should do 1 packed jump from each of the 4 objects. It seems to me that this is what qualifies you for a BASE number, as this was BASE jumping when the issuing of numbers was established. also I feel that when someone would like to attend an event like KL which has a jump number requirement that only packed jumps should be counted, as that is what will be allowed there. Other than that, have fun. keep track however you like.
