Arvoitus 1 #51 September 17, 2010 Quote Allow me extend and revise my remarks . . . >>All new B.A.S.E. jumpers suck!I'm not backing off the above, as there's nothing more pathetic than a 20 year old B.A.S.E. jumper. You all came to the party way late, and act like you own it. I laugh at you. On the other hand tandem B.A.S.E was inevitable. We fooled around with in the 80s, but we didn't have the right gear and skills to pull it off. But you guys do. Just don't act like you invented it. Everything in B.A.S.E was step by step and built on the guys who came before you. So I say go ahead and make your $299 a jump. I love the technology. But also know you're no longer a B.A.S.E jumper. You're a vacuum cleaner salesman . . . NickD BASE 194 So young people shouldn't be allowed in to BASE huh? Maybe you old geezers should've patent and trademarked all this stuff when you had the chance. Then us youngsters couldn't all fuck it up for you. Hell you had BASE tandem in the eighties already so the way I see it you had your chance and passed it on.Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Arvoitus 1 #53 September 17, 2010 Quote Quote I'm waiting for Tandem Swooping. . Eh, Charlie Mullins did that over a decade ago. Beautiful swoop with a tippy-toe landing that was a crowd pleaser. Still caught hell from the DZO, though. It wasn't at the Mullins' home DZ. If its not on youtube it didn't happen.Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Charlie's jump was before youtube's time. Besides, if anybody videoed it, it's on VHS and buried in some closet. His swoop was pretty similar to the one you linked. Hell, he was probably one of the first tandem-masters who dared to do it!"Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
