Faber, I've seen your packjobs. They are scaaaaary.

It's onheading because you pack those 180's but due to your body position, they're likely to open any direction at all.

Yeah, that was meant to be a PM.

Hey Avery, Chad and I got in on the action. What a guy Marty is.

I was hoping you would be at Go Fast, maybe next time.

Cya,
Katie.

In addition to what Tom said about wearing mountain biking helmets, they are also good because they cover the back of your head as well as your face. I know that my oxygen left the back of my head pretty vulnerable. They are also built to take a solid impact.

I will be there!

Normally I wouldn't read a post that long, but that was just too funny, hahaha!

I got Chad teaching the cop how to do it and the whole thing on video, I'm sure he can grab a still from it.

It was scary enough as it was. I still giggle when I think about it, hehe. It was really nice to see you again Brian! Tom and Cheri's hospitality is unmatched, thanks guys!

Oh, and lets not forget the jump before Tom and me when Dexter got PCA'd by the cop! That was just so backwards, I love TF!

Katie.

Thanks for sharing skypuppy, I enjoyed it very much.

Katie.

I would have to agree with Faber as to why not as many females BASE jump as males. Women in general are not as inclined to take "unneccessary" risks.
However, as our sport grows, so does the proportion of female jumpers. Chad told me about his last trip to Twin and I was surprised to find out how many women there were.

I don't think it's the adrenaline rush that drives most to BASE jump. I know those jumpers are out there, but jumping your local object time and time again, the adrenaline can wear out and what do you have left?

There are talented jumpers out there with a lot to offer a new student, who are not leaders in the community (as Tom said). I can understand wanting a female mentor, but if you can't find one, just make sure there is no sexual interest between you and your mentor. Tom has a good article all about why.

Sorry to hear you're going to leave dz.com, I always like your posts, in fact, that's why I clicked on this thread...

I'm glad you live relatively close, it won't be hard to stay in touch. Talk to you soon.

Katie.

Thanks, Chad. That means a lot to me, you're my favorite person to jump with too...no surprise to anyone I'm sure. I love you.

Thanks all you guys, I hadn't checked dz.com in awhile (work has been crazy). I didn't know I had that many people who cared. I know I've said it before, but you guys really mean a lot and make up a huge part of what BASE means to me.

Brice, call me, I've got news about our local object.

Katie.

Nah you love us and cant wait untill we get back and ruin your world

Aww, I guess you guys are all right...and I suppose you would be welcome any time you could come back to visit...

Thanks Jaap, and all you guys! Jaap, you're right, you are a big geek, but a pretty cool one. I didn't know my number was so significant, hehe. You guys are all so awesome, the best friends a girl could have. You are a big part of what BASE means to me, thank you.

Faber, you were playing with that blow up doll too. You know what's funny, is Peter chubbed Chad's rig, and he got so rough with the blow up doll that he ripped her head off...I think he likes objects more than people!

EDIT: typo

I didn't know it was posted, hehe. Something is wrong with these guys...

as long as the other dude dosent Chub it... he should be ok

Speaking of which, Nikolaj showed me an interesting picture of PeterC with a rig...

Hey Jaap,

We've got one Dane left, come on down. Give Chad or me a call and we'll make plans.

Katie.

Hey JohnDoe, I'm back in town and Dexter and the danes should be back later tonight. It's a good thing you left your car down there for them to pick up, because we have added another Dane to the group. You ready for some jumps, brother?

Katie.

Nice pictures Bryan, looking forward to having you back in the US.

Katie.

Congrats guys!

I don't know if they are Peter's or Faber's, but there are some sandals still here. Does the owner want them brought to Twin when I come?

By the way Dexter dont want us to tell this so please dont tell to anyone... He sleeps in strings and a top,now how wrong is that?poor K-monster(WE MISS YA).

You are one crazy Dane, I think that was you dreaming that you could see dexter in that little clothing...do you have one of those fetishes like we saw in some of those videos in that store where you hit on and picked up Becky?

Quote

Thanks for getting us the hell out of dodge!

Amen to that! 587, you are hands down the most capable gc I know, you saved our asses! The sandwiches and gatorade were icing on the cake too, when you picked us up. Tell your awesome wife I said hi, it sounds like I missed a good meal...I did make it back for my lab and quiz though but I sure was itchy in class from all the crap (not literally) we crawled around in.

Interestingly enough, we have a nice video clip of Faber in my bikini...

Yeah Faber, you sissy...slider off? That A is huge! Like we said, we're going to give you a 38" PC anyway and Peter will strip search you for any static line equipment...so at least you're going to have to climb your lazy "Dutch" ass to the top!

correct where incorrect, Chad

I've got Dexter's back on this one, he is a Navy Corpsman, not a medic. He is or has been an EMT instructor, Pre-hospital Trauma Life Support intsructor, advanced cardiac life support instructor. He has extensive combat medicine experience.

(Had to brag about my baby)

This is a really cool idea, you should post a link to that article you wrote too, I will if I can find it. Having a traveling BASE boogie first aid kit could really come in handy. How extensive would it be? You mentioned a backboard, but would we have airways and stuff in there too?
