sled base is the future....



It's the past, actually.

What about toboggan wingsuit BASE? Picture lying on your stomach on the toboggan with the wings spread, picking up a ton of speed, shooting off the edge and straight into full flight as the toboggan falls away.

who the hell rides a toboggan on their belly?

if your gonna go toboggan base with or without a WS... you got to go 2-way seated calvin and hobbes style.

I think thats the past as well. Met some dude in europe, pretty sure he had already done it. He was a sponsored sledder.

could somebody please explain what APOOPA is?



The APOOPA founders will disagree, but I'm pretty sure it means American Parachuting Organization Of Parachuting Americans.

an APOOOPAA event can be anywhere. what we are looking for in a jump is:

nice take off: important
hillside for plenty speed that is easy to ride.
a wall with some good clean open air to launch into with SOFT impact: important
corners/aretts are good


it would be nice if wall was low enough that a 180 after an average speed jump if never corrected would result in snow impact or at least wall impact that you hit snow within the first 80 feet of your wall scrape/strike/slam

please explore your local backcountry with camera to propose options

I will forward options to the banned Clifhuckstable; he and his mother were the backbone of last years very rigidly organized event.
