  2. You heard the lady...

    Send all your irrelevunt (spelt rong diliberaytly) shit to miss whiplash and she'll figure all your shit out and you'll be jumping from Trump Towers in no time.

    Or you can get a ski mask and be cool like Johnny Utah by jumping stuff and not getting cort.

    Schweet!

    :P

    PS Don't send your stuff to RLK..she really doesn't have the time...and Herman doesn't either.

    It's all personal anyway. If you think it was a BASE jump for you, then call it such.



    I thought the rule was a BASE jump means "going packed". Being as well hung as I am I consider stepping off a kerb "going packed"...so do the ladies.

    Thank you ladies...;)

    I look at it more like how a flock of birds fly together... mostly disorganized, with a common goal.

    ...which is generally to increase their chances of not getting eaten by a predator. Bottom line...no direction and hoping it's their brother who gets fucked rather than them.

    Yep...sounds like BASE jumpers alright.

    Furthermore, Rodney "why can't we all get along" King



    And here all along I thought he said, "Why can't we all just get a lawn".



    I thought Rodney King was the one who said "Why can't we all get kicked to fuck by the pigs".

    Incidentally, since RLK was being a smartass...I thought I'd point out that his name isn't Rodney...It's Glen.

    Also, he's really white but was wearing boot polish to disuise himself. One of those facts is not true.

  • You hypocrite.

    You cry about how it ain't the sixties anymore and then blurt out "Why can't we all just get along".

    Those who sit on the fence can expect to get split up the a$$.

  • Ha.

    I don't need to write posts to get my opinions voiced anymore. I just poke the appropriate jumper and they do it for me.

    Nice point, well made Ray. I loved the passion.

    See that...that's how you get things done, people. Passion. Not politics and posturing. Passion. Who cares if you go to jail for it. Just don't get caught.

    In the Army, I was taught that the most dangerous thing a leader could do was say "I don't know". Those three little words not only implied incompetence, but would serve to demoralize the troops and eliminate any respect for the leader that they had.



    Mike, one of the signatures of a leader is authenticity. Implying you know something when you don't will strip you of credibility faster than a pit full of lesbians would strip Sandra Bullock of her chocolate coating.

    You just experienced your first 180. Glad it was a literary one.;)

    You compare heroin to BASE? :S

    KNOWLEDGE my friend is the answer. Educate the mass and legalize the whole.



    How so? Who's knowledge? The public's? What would be the motivation to legalize? We are a minority special interest group. Why would they give a damn? How they benefit?

  • At the termination of the ABP thread Sangiro threw down the gauntlet...try to discuss without an RH attack.

    Let's see if this community has the mettle to do just that. I think that it's impossible and that it will emerge that we are the bunch of whining wankers that I suspect we are.

    Let me first throw you a curve to distract you...

    Should BASE be legal...ever? I contend that it should not. I suggest that it's akin to making heroin legal. The decriminalization prevents only one effect of the act from acting. That effect is the legal effect. All of the transgressions and irresponsibilities will remain but you won't go to jail. The drug dealers will still be there, the addiction will still be there, the victims will still be there. The authorities may even throw in a tax so that they profit at least a little from the situation. After all, there has to be something in it for them.

    BASE should be illegal. Too much freedom is a bad thing.

    Whadayatinkaboudat?

    And remember...no RH's.

  • True dat.

    Me n Skypunk were retching after climbing to the first 300' catwalk of one of these things. They're fun to jump but awful to climb. Take a face mask / ventilator / large roach to combat the effects.

    It's killing me (great choice of words, I think) that people keep talking about death as the great risk of BASE/skydiving.

    It can be much worse if you survive. And most BASE jumpers I spoke to don't consider that possibility enough.



    You're right. I've survived many BASE jumps and to my horror I now am in perfect health, attractive enough to make Apollo envious and earning a six figure salary. Pass me the Derringer, Ringo...I'm done in.

  • Who the fuck is Lottie Aston?

    Compare her with Marta...

    Yeah, that's right. You dig?

    Now THAT'S a BASE chick.

    I'm sure Lottie's a nice person and all that but please.

    Now if you want a hot BASE dudes calendar then I guess I'll be taking most of this decade myself...

    She did everthing right and had over ten times the experience you do.....So ...what where you thinking....:S



    She did everything right and she died anyway.

    So does that mean she was simply unlucky or that the "current advise" [sic] is wrong?

    No matter how you look at it, Holly jumped a bridge not a cliff, so the two cases aren't comparable, unless your point has something to do with the "women in base" issue.

    More than the evolution of skydiving, the underlying philosophy here is beginning to remind me of what happened when the hippies grew up, got real jobs and had kids of their own.

    "It was okay for me, but it's not okay for you" and "I want you to learn from my mistakes" have never been very successful in preventing the behavior you don't want to see in the next generation.

    She prepared accoring to the accepted wisdom...she did not do everything right, unfortunately.

    I know that the argument for a minimum number of guydives is flawed but in general, if some is good...more is better.



    Who was it who only recently made fun of me for generalizing?



    Where training and preparation are an advantage to the execution of an activity then as a generalization my statement bares pretty close scrutiny.

    Quote

    Go to Bridge Day just one year and watch how many several-thousand-jump wonders have crap exits, crap openings and crap landings. In '98, I think it was, one of my friends--a guy with 3000 skydives and one each of all possible ratings--managed to embarrass himself to death (and very nearly kill himself) making his first bridge jump. He was neither unusual nor in a minority.



    I'm sure you realize that this is not a robust arguement for the defense, Counselor. You describe an error in spite of extensive experience not because of it. It just highlights that as far as jump numbers and good BASE preparation are concerned that sticking a feather in your a$$ does not make you a chicken.

    She was judged and found not wanting by someone who has known her a lot longer than you have and who has sufficient information to determine she was ready. Furthermore, as evidenced by her post, she's not dead.



    Perhaps...but my assertion is not necessarily that the requisite ability was missing but that the requisite judgement has been found lacking as evidenced by the chest beating declarations such as "I only have a handful of skydives and I've still done a BASE jump...Nah nah na nar nar."

    In a forum full of newbies eager to throw themselves to the dogs, the difference between acting as a role model and not can be the difference between an inexperienced jumper landing safely and that same jumper needing a closed casket.

    I know I'm hypocritical...that's just me...so posting a bunch of my old quotes as evidence of me acting contrary to the statement made above will be judged as entirely boring. I know, I had (still have) very few skydives when I began. That doesn't make me a success story. That makes me an exception that proves the rule...as usual...a shining bad example.

    Yes, 42 skydives.

    My local, legal S.

    edit to add: sorry Jaap, but your paper crane is now floating down the Snake River.



    Holly...I don't know you...I know something about you in regards to your BASE jumping potential. Let me describe...

    You just posted to the BASE community that one of the country's most trusted and competant mentors was willing to put you off a legal object (risking it's status as such if something had gone wrong) with a number of skydives which is considerably less than the general feeling of the community accepts by quite a margin. I know that the argument for a minimum number of guydives is flawed but in general, if some is good...more is better. You made this post knowing that;

    A) The ramifications for your mentor could mean a drastic loss of credibility. This would be a huge blow for the reputation of US BASE jumping.

    B) Your mentor wouldn't care so why should you.

    I doubt it's B).

    So let me tell you what I think know about you...

    You make poor and flippant judgement calls...and, in this instance, a very public one.

    Poor judgement will kill you.

    Be smart. Stay alive.

    Disappointed,

  • Felix scored a solid, if not miraculous $261 for his tandem jump on Ebay.

    20% is $52 but I said that was a min so I'm gonna throw in another 10% to make it $78 to add to his kids cancer cause...good news!

    The winners...well..I just can't chose so I thought I'd throw it out to you lot to decide. Post your suggestions and we'll count the votes / consider rationales.

    I'll be happy to throw dollars at those who win but I'd be particularly happy if they'd donate their winnings to the same cause as Felix.

    Post yr nominations...I just held up a 7-11 in Lexington and I'm freeling flush.
