  1. It's a fact... we have the highest obeasity rate in the world.... i need to get rid of 25 pounds quick or my tracking could be interpeted as a potato thats trying to fly..... You only have to see "Superterminal" to make you relize that ...... In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  2. I will have to say that these guys with street clothes and bungee cords are the ones pushing human flight. The more you learn it's not the suit but the suiter..i think things will really progress.... Big fan of the VKB.... chris In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out....

  3. I have to agree with the above replys, Who ever wrote this is a"F ^%$^ing lame ass"... Another one trying to save everyone from everything. If it was a hiker who slipped and fell ..they woudnt be bitching about it would they. And for the cost of the rescue and risk....What do you think these search and rescue people get paid..."by us" do all day.??? They sit around waiting to save some sorry ass like ourselves to screw up because they are trained to do this....They want to do this... Again i am not defending the jumper as i dont know all the facts but it doesnt matter... A lame ass or a heads up jumper should get the same help......[crazy In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"

  6. You have three....Very much enjoy your posts as i actually get allot out of them.... In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  7. Ok i am with you there...i guess i ment if ..and if you can hold heading, regain stability...but cant track to save your life...... and that is another hole subject ..after reading some of han-solo's and your old posts about different tracking methods for different terminal objects..... but i wont get into that as to change the subject of this post.. Thanks as always......Chris In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  8. Do you mean tracking skills or freefall skills? i only ask as they are to me two different animals.. i remember a time when i was around 100 or so jumps on a large sit fly jump... 12 or so of us...Yea...a while ago...that at break off i remember tracking and actually looking back between my legs and watching a few jumpers just like they where laying flat and not getting horizontal distance as i felt speed as everyone just got tiny quick.... After the jump a far more experienced guy from the jump asked me how i learned to track like that. I never thought my freefal skills exceeded my jump #'s but maybe my tracking skills where better than my freefall skills?? I am currious...I totally agree that you need a huge bucket of skills for a Terminal jump such as Kjreg...but if you had to choose which was more important ...tracking skills or freefall skills...which would you put weight on? I guess i mean if you can already stick the exit..which are more important.... This is my lame ass question of the week so go ahead and flame me.... Just currious.....

  9. mine too...but not about skin..... Hey what the best beer now over there....? In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  10. ug...my fingers are hurting...It's not unpleasantness...It's doing things by the numbers. There are over 5000 or so base jumpers in the world give or take a few.... There are only less than a hundred who post on these forums here.... Just consider this a pub in a world of pubs.... That leaves 4900 or so other base jumpers at different pubs around the world.... Some people like this ...well in the states we call them "bars"... bar .. and some people dont. You stay , drink, chat or fight if you wish or just drink and soak up whats happing with this crowd. It's all different... No matter where you go...there you are.... Well if you want to assume that ..the take a stab at Skin, he will tell you like is.... im parched....... In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  11. come on now mate...i spent 6 months living in england....you guys and the pints, pubs, and that stupid snooker...... you guys are hard headed....Its the beer...Wish i was hanging out in a pub right now..... In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  12. I think the point is 3 or 4 people on this board with alot of experience have told you where to look for your answers and you still continue to ask the same questions... That will get you know where with this bunch.... If you cant take good information to help answer your questions then your not off to a good start.... no offence intended...just 2 cents.... In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  13. Thats has to be quote of the week.....LOL.... Your too funny..... In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  14. Did you not see the parts as the one guy tracking behind as the did a split screen ..one view from subjects camera and another from followers camera.... and yes douggs is unbeleavable.... In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  15. I have seen dougg's footage and think he is truly amazing.....well...F&^%$$ing amazing.... but you have to admit that by far the "best" air relative footage is by far "Superterminal"..... Nothing is as" jaw dropping" as this footage..... But i will want to get Keen'n and able for my collection.... as for the lame comments....It's as good as what you put into it and the people that contribute.. Just my two cents.... In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  16. I still feel this way everytime i watch it...... In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  17. Here you go.... www.ethics.org http://www.globalethics.org/ enough ethics to choke on..... I wonder if the VKB talks about this at there weekly meetings..... not............. go watch superterminal again and the last thing on your mind will be ethics...... In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  18. I would have to agree 100 percent with this advise... i dove for years and knowing water is under you and not the ground creates a super invinceable frame of mind. If you have no experience in in diving then a 3 secound delay plus a flip you are not comfortable with is pushing it. Add the rig and all the other things that you are doing is not a great plan. If you can stand on the ground and throw a front flip..land it... than go ahead...other wise go to a pool or foam pit and work it out there.. If you watch continuium I and watch Damian and Kenyon ...they throw flips back and front standing on the ground...When they do them off a object they look completly at ease....Thats how you should feel throwing them on a short delay... Just my 2 cents... In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  19. Thanks for the music list.... I think i just finished the 60ish or so time i watched this unreal DVD..... Thanks for the view....... Chris In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  20. Sorry Tom, Can you move this post to the "review superterminal" post....I missed it.... My bad....sorry.... thanks In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  21. I got my copy yesterday and i will have to say it took me a day to post... as i am speechless....This movie is unbeleavible.....Its not base jumping....it's mountain flying.... Canyon running..... It's like the dreams i had as a kid and still do of flying...it's unbelievable.... I have not seen something so moving and amazing ....ever....... Un Fucking believable....sorry for the french ...but no other way to explain.......i have watched this 30 or so times ....i loss count and my wife thinks i need a vacation.... Great job guys and look forward to seeing more ....You guys are truly amazing and living life like no other.......I really need to come see this in person....... I am sending more than the $30.00 donation as i think i got more than i ever expected..... If anyone has not seen this movie ...you have got to get a copy...It is some of the greatest base footage you will ever see..... In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  22. This is a normal problem...You can fix this when you finalize the dvd.If anyone has a problem i can fix this for them. I will ask that you you show me that you did make a donation to these unbelievable humans doing unbelievable things.........Just send me a PM and i will accomadate you. If Tom has a problem with this i will not do it ..... I am starting a other superterminal post as the movie is unbelievable.......... later all....

    Baffin Island

    I have some footage from Joe jennings that did a piece on it and i have a short take that was on discovery channel also about 3 guys who sleadded it and climbed up. One guy got frostbite if i remember. I'll burn a copy for you if you dont have it and send it to you. Pm me your address if you want it...

  24. This post went from person of the year to someone jissing themselves..... Doesn't show alot of character.... Some people just can't keep from aggravating other people i guess ... In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"
  25. It's easyier than most people think...I dived as a kid and threw highschool...if you dont know how to recover ...you can seriously get hurt. I also wakeboard and people get knocked out and drown....i have seen stars and been sore from falls that you would not suspect would be so bad. There is a way to recover a bad high dive by going into a pike position...with your feet and hands entering the water first and you break the water to lessen the force. But make sure your head is tucked down between your arms or you will have a permanent smile for a week or so.... In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out....
