CanuckInUSA 0 #51 October 8, 2004 Quote Quoteif i bring my skydiving rig.... can anyone switch out my 170 spectre for the sabre 2 i am going to have? it is important that i get it done that weekend and would appreciate if somone knowledgeable could help me out!Same deal... you aren't taking that off the bridge are you? More importantly, people without proper gear knowledge should not be allowed to BASE jump. I'm sure someone out there will disgree with me and flame me because of this. But BASE jumping is NOT skydiving and knowing one's gear is the first step BASE jumpers need to know before they ever think about jumping off of a fixed object. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

base428 1 #55 October 8, 2004 Quote seems like it'd be a lot of time and money spent for only a handful of jumps, when I could just drive out to the potato bridge and make a dozen jumps in a relaxed environment. You haven't been to Bridge Day, have you? Quoterumor) that skydiving gear will finally be kicked out of Bridge Day. Nope, skydiving gear is still allowed. There's a lot of history in using skydiving gear from this bridge. Since most injuries are landing related, I don't think it would help much to ban skydiving rigs. Can't wait to meet many of you.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base428 1 #63 October 11, 2004 Water landings will be cold, but you don't need to wear anything special. Just bring a change of clothes and keep them in your car or at the exit point. If the weather is nice, it'll be 70F at mid-day. However, it's been known to snow every now and then. Maybe a fanny pack with fresh clothes in a ziplock bag would be a good idea? cya there Quoteand what do you recomend if you plan on a water landing?(c)2010 Vertical Visions.

I was thinking all the people coming from the south meet in Wytheville, VA. Wythville is where I-77 and I-81 come together. It is about 2 hours from the Hotel in Oak Hill. I'm thinking sometime between 12 and 3. I'm sure we could find a place to have lunch there. I'll come up with a place or if any locals know a good place let us know. Any takers?Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
