  1. Here are 2 more I just found although the second one is a strange swoop technique (but it works Same thing as before - Not me but I took the photo! So all rights reserved!
  2. Does anyone know the title of the song?

    Radix Video

    Does anyone know where I could purchase this video or in general where I can find intresting Base Videos?
  4. I think it has always in a way something to do with how you pack the canopy (at least you can influence the opening (a little bit) by the way you pack it) I jump a Sabre and I have often hard openings but not too hard ...

    Mozilla v IE

    I am using the Firefox (this is faster version of the original Mozilla) ...
  6. I would not jump with a metal plate inside your foot/leg - because if you have another accident the metal plate would probably cause the bone to split into pieces (more or less unrepairable!) ... I have also a metal plate inside my foot/leg because I broke my bone short above the ankle and I have started jumping again but I am always aware of the fact that I have to take care! - So in the end I think it depends on what you gonna do because I am not doing Base with it and I am jumping a Sabre 150 so thats safe in my opinion but you should be very careful because an accident when you still have the metal inside can be extremly bad!
  7. I think in the end its both - but most times when I got injured I was really unlucky (but on the other hand I had some accidents which had been absolutly close and I was lucky that I got out of it without a scratch!) ... So at least its 60% unlucky and 40% pushing limits - so I had more or less to pay for the risks I took ... Fine recovery!!!
  8. I had several accidents and X-Rays (so I assume that I have probably collected about 80 or more X- Rays) - In January I had an skydiving accident at Skydive Spain (the only one - the rest was Skateboarding, Snowboarding, Downhill, ...) because of a very unlucky landing and I broke my ankle but like most times it healed very fast and I was walking again after 4 weeks and back skydiving in late February (after about 2 months) ... I often had bad accidents but I was always more or less lucky (depends on your point of view) in the end and I do not suffer any after effects ... I do not have any X-Rays to prove it (all kept by the hospital) ... So now I hoping my time of hospital and pain has come to its end ... I also wonder if I have become like radioactive becaues of all these X-Rays Maybe I should add that I am 19 - I think thats quite a good collection of accidents I can present for the short period I live on this planet
  9. Is this DVD compareable to the one by Icarus (Out of the Blue) ... What kind of features has this DVD?
  10. If you do not find anyone for Germany you can contact me (but I am not BASE Jumping! - I just started Skydiving but my uncle has a dropzone near Berlin and Mahle works there (maybe you know him -He is a german BaseJumper who is also a member of the german Base Association (VDO)) I am living near Frankfurt/Wiesbaden

    Awsome footage

    There is video named "Sick Base" and on this video tape you can watch the whole jump from the bridge (they had to hide in the bushes near the bridge for about 7 hours to not get caught by the police :)
  12. I want to fix my Sony PC101 to my Gath and I thought maybe someone of you know what would be the best (or a good) way to do this - I already know (have seen) some possibilities but if someone of you who is more experienced with this could give me some advise ... that would be great ... Guide, Pictures?
  13. I am from Germany and I just bought the video on eBay germany for 3€ ... And this guy offers many of this Continuum videos and also a video called SickBase ... So maybe he also ships to the USA (I think it would be cheaper then buying it anywhere else) ... Here is a link ... http://search.ebay.de/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&krd=1&ht=1&shortcut=4&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.de%2Fws%2F&maxRecordsPerPage=50&st=2&ebaytag1code=77&query=BaseJump&x=21&y=7
  14. If you have only 100 jumps then I would recommend you to stay with your 155 and to improve your basics before you go elliptical or on 135 canopy otherwise it is not unlikely that you will find your self very soon in hospital ... I think it makes no sense to change your canopy at only 100 jumps because what you want to jump are canopies people jump who are quite experienced ... If you have up to 300 jumps you can think about once more ...
  15. This is a very nice dropzone - the people are very nice and the atmosphere there is great - in the evenings there is always something going on there (I recommend the FreeFly container ;) ... - The safety standard is high and the Staff is very experienced and you will find the best service you can get ... And "rainbow design" is at the dropzone! They have C-208/D - FUMP for 18 persons ... - My favorite dropzone in germany :)
  16. I already jumped with my uncle (he is also Tandem Master, AFF Teacher, Pilot, and Senior Rigger) - It was my 6th solo jump I think and we had a programm with a dive exit and then 1 backflip, 2 360° turns and then a short track and of course the rest playtime until pull in 1200 meters ... But then we had a misunderstanding at the exit so he jumped with the the camera out of the plane before I was ready and I had to jump out quickly and reach him with a track
