I've been chased by a 10 foot alligator while walking out on a jump. On another occasion, a 5 foot alligator nearly got my leg after landing in a tree with an alligator pit below unbeknownst to me. Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174

The slider is primarily driven down by the brake lines. Within reasonable limits, making the slider smaller can result in harder openings and vice versa. The angle between the brake lines and the slider is the driving force here, as a result of tail inflation and some slight bottom skin inflation with the help of stabilizer inflation.

i could tell it was him without you even mentioning it. how the hell is he making a living to support all these base safaris. i'm envious. Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174

things are about the get interesting. especially regarding the base park. old jumpers being anchors? hey, who else jumps from the top of moving trains, climbs the exterior of buildings and jumps from a wooden plank with cops at the top with signs saying "you are guilty of trespassing, does twop jumps (two on one parachute), climbs technical routes with a rig to jump, defines brand new highly technical sites... who eludes the guards and jumps buildings night after night. not many new jumpers. most just drive to the same old site day after day, especially if it's legal. who walks off a cliff on stilts (phil smith, base 1), who does it with a pogo stick, or phil mayfield (base 2) who walked off of the edge of the big cliff in Yosemite on his hands while wearing a huge movie camera on his head, jumped off the holding unit at Kennedy Space Center with the shuttle attached, who jumps into volcanos? there are true adventurers among the newer ones but it seems like fewer. arials were not a real possibility in the past but linked arials are the way of the future. and birdman jumps. the norgies are really impressing me with their jumping. i get chills of excitement when i see their hot shit wingsuiting. the aussies are pretty hot stuff too. god i love this sport. keep the list. if you don't like, don't read it and don't let your students read it. PERIOD. Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174

didn't mean it that way. just a separate forum for base instructors to exchange ideas and concepts without the fluff and extreme opinions of a bunch of nonjumpers and newer jumpers. Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174

This is Shakespeare. It's things like this that make me think there should be a private forum for BASE instructors. God job Tom. I hadn't thought about it like that. Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174

Most people bicker about their differences without realizing how much they have in common. There are lessons in the List and I personally think it could not have been done any better than it currently has been done by Mr. Nick DG. I have friends on the list and I feel good that they are remembered for what they did and I consider the list to be a celebration of life, the human spirit, and a lesson for those who want to proceed along a similar path. Jimmy, suicide destroys every friend and family member of the suicide victim. Chill out. We're all original and original - just like everyone else - and most people in the world have run the gamut of emotions dealing with things even more tragic. The list should stay as it is and we should actually send a care package to Nick for his hard work as the writing funeral director of BASE. This list has kept more people out of trouble than you could imagine... - including me. Thanks Nick!

Jimmy and Clair. I rarely get mad at anyone. Both of you are completely out of line here, as both of you have been several times. -Chris BASE 460 Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174

an idea with an unexpected consequeces is also known as generative idea. proximity flying is a great new exciting sport and i haven't felt this way since i saw my first base jump on tv (from angel falls) which inspired me to make my first base jump from a 600 foot cliff back in 1992.
