Hey zeorpinskier... Thank you for the info! Much appreciated! BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

I just want say thanks to everyone for everone's help! I now have options that would have been really hard to find without your help. Thanks! BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

Yeah, it's my right knee... Thanks for the help! BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

Hey all… Just looking to touch base with anyone who has dealt with the University of Utah – University Orthopaedic Center. I injured my right knee on a hard landing a couple years ago, which I have been trying to get treatment options for from the University of Utah. I have been working with two of their doctors for over a year (I requested to see a second doctor because of a very poor assessment from the first doctor). Over all my whole experience with working with the University of Utah – University Orthopaedic Center has been a really poor experience, from the doctors initially doing a very poor assessment to them just being completely disorganized every time I show up for an appointment (they are greatly over booked, causing me to have to wait very long periods of time to see the doctor or they simply cannot find my appointments and they tell me that I can wait hours or come back another time). Jut to put things into perspective, I have worked with them for over a year now and I still don’t have a full diagnosis or treatment plan from them, even though we have done X-Rays and an MRI. I got my MRI today, but they couldn’t find my follow up appointment so they told me to come back for results (I drive over an hour to that location so I very specifically requested that the follow up appointment happen on the same day as my MRI, which they told me was no problem and is how they normally do things…). Anyway, I am posting this post for two reasons… The first, I would like to know if anyone has had any success with the University of Utah – University Orthopaedic Center (i.e. Good experiences with them that would prompt me to just overlook my experiences with them so far..). If not, does anyone know of any good Orthopedic Centers or Orthopedic doctors in the Utah area that you recommend? Thanks ahead of time for any feedback that anyone may have on good Orthopedic Centers or Orthopedic doctors in the Utah area… BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

Just a question, since the site has changed... How do you view another user's/friend's Photo Gallery? We can't figure it out... Thanks, Michael BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

Thanks to all that PM'd me... BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

I'm going to be in Perris soon and was wondering if anyone knows and good objects near by. Please PM me if you want to share any near by objects. Thanks... Michael BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

I like it ... BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

Thanks Tom... Attached is the pic of the poster... BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

Thanks Tom... So why are you spoofing my account... Is this by accident? Edited to say... Okay... I get it... I apologize for naming the location... BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

Yes, it is. The poster you are thinking of is an Ikea print. I bought two at the Ikea in Vancouver. ~TA BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

Where is the Mushroom located? A friend gave me an awesome poster of a BASE jumper jumping it, that he found a a garage sale, and I have always wondered where it was located. I know we're not supposed to name objects and all but I figured this was more than likely a legal site... Thanks... Edited to say... Tom, is it okay for me to take a picture of this poster and post it on this forum? It's a pretty awesome poster... BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

If it is true that they had a camera person at exit, on a building, they deserve to be in jail... Granted I know that the press is normally wrong... So I'm hoping that I read it wrong. After graduating from FJC, people like this should attend "High Profile 101 - The Do's and Don'ts"... BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

See you when you get back brother... And don't try and BASE the repelling tower... It's too low ... BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

Whew… Thank you for getting us back on topic… SARCASISM, in case you can’t tell… P.S. It’s “Jumping Preference” and not “Object preference”… And it’s not a tangent, it’s a correlation between your bitching and what is really going on. Sounds about right... You have a problem with the new jumpers but you don't want to do anything about it but bitch… So if that’s the case, go with your option #1 and mind your own business. Michael BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

You know what... We should create a running post that lists out complaints, without names of course. And for the hell of it, not for flaming purposes, we can all give “candid” feedback on whether or not it’s a complaint based on jumping preference, therefore not a valid complaint, or if it is truly a valid complaint. I recommend this because I am convinced that most complaints are using the "objects preservation" argument in vein and simply is “he’s not doing it my way” bitching. Basically, I am convinced it is just “BASE Drama”, like its cousin “DZ Drama” (e.g. “Can you believe so and so down sized his canopy… He’s definitely going to kill himself…”)… And Seth… Please PM the specifics on what events you have noted on the infamous BASE jumpers that you have been “candid” with. I find it hard to believe that their not simply BASE jumping differently than you, and others, see fit. P.S. Oh yeah I forgot to say this in my last post… Of course I don’t have anything personally against you. I’m just doing what you are doing, taking part in this discussion forum. BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

Seth, Of course there are contradictions in my post… I was being a smart ass. And to clarify, I didn’t disappear from BASE, I disappeared from the group. A lot of the reasons had to do with that I like B’s more than E’s, and the group was critical of my preferences. And that’s my key point… Unless someone is blatantly burning an object, it really comes down to jumping preferences. Because at the end of the day, a safely illegal base jump is just as illegal as an unsafe illegal BASE jump… Meaning, you and I both know that you have just as much chance of getting caught and causing legislation no matter how safe and careful you are on an illegal jump. And my last key point is… You are not going to be able to stop a justifiably, not preference inferred, object burner. Unless you want to go to jail for kicking their ass, which I’m not sure is not good for the BASE cause. I can just see it know… “Your Honor, I kicked his ass because he’s making my illegal jumps more illegal…” My overall point is… Let the rest of us enjoy BASE the way we want to and don’t tell us that we need to fix other people, especially when your basis is related to jumping preferences. Michael BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

First of all… Thank you for posting a clarification of your original post… Overall I know you mean well. Anyway, the way I look at it is… BASE and the Ozone layer have a lot in common… No matter how much the rest of us preserve and protect them, there are enough people out there that will eventually cause the demise of both of them. With that said, all we can do is continue to show the way to those who care enough to be shown. And second to that, we should continue to BASE the way it makes sense to us. Because in the end, BASE has/is going to change and we can’t do anything about it… So HUCK your ass off until you can’t HUCK anymore ... BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

Tom A… Can you please change my vote on the last poll, Poll: Have the BASE forums gone to shit? , to YES? MyTwoCents and SethGray… Stop trying to turn BASE into the USPA. And most importantly, stop trying to protect people from themselves. I mean, did I miss it? Where you two voted to be the BASE governing body? I know I definitely didn’t vote for you! You know what, better yet… I like this governing body thing… I vote myself as the sole BASE gear inspector. I want to see your gear weekly, to protect you from yourself. I’m worried that you two are not inspecting your gear to my standards. And since were at it, I’m designating my self as the BASE safety officer. Please call me before all your jumps. I want to make sure you have evaluated each object correctly before you jump. I'm worried that you are not taking everything into account in accordance to my standards. You know what… I totally see the light now… I think it’s very important that you guys contact me often. I just want to make sure that you are jumping according to how I see fit. Granted… I do pretty thorough background checks, so sadly, I might not let you jump at all… P.S. SethGray, Greeny is ENTITLED to be a jumper… And he damn well doesn’t have to explain it to you!!!

WTF ever... Boo hoo... The cowboy days are over... I'm so sad it now takes skill to do high profile BASE, instead of just cowboys jumping off shit ... BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

Awesome video!!! You just made my day! Thanks, Michael BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)

I think it's either a "D" or a "C"... "D"ead if you jump the building... OR "C"razy if you jump the antenna... ... Michael BATMAN - (A.K.A. SBCmac ...)
