Idea's are one thing. The drive to commit that much time/effort to it. Is another thing. It's not that I do not luv my WS or posses knowledge. I think the biggest obstacle is, I am a Lazy Slacker. .... .

Please If you are going to Censure by Deleting Posts. I wish then that all my Posts to be deleted. I made no personal attacks and also was on my best behavior. The choice to censure & mold all discussion into an individuals personal acceptable format & taste is not a growing and expanding BASE website it is a Comic Book that has a Dictator over the buttons. thank you. . edited: because my spelling has started to regress to the level of Maggots. .

funny shit. That does not surprise me though. have not heard anything about ryder for a couple years. Just how board are you up in Alaska ? ... .

I'm a little curious about the pack volume on that, ( jpg048 ) What you got in there a Stiletto 120 with Dacron lines ? .

VERY NICE JOB. Once you get it all tuned-up. It should flow well. I am still waiting some day to see a totally integrated, WS/BASE rig. All one piece of, Container Mechanics & Fabric. .

I saw a similar shape BASE Rig in Norway a couple years ago being jumped by Peter in WS jumps. It was an inverted wedge design ( thin on bottom/thick on top) but it was nowhere as thin a profile as this. I am assuming you have this Rig in mind for WS ? Where is the BOC ? cant see it. Must be on the other side. The Lat. looks pretty flexible also around the hips. Nice and light on the typ-17 chest strap too. . PS: I hope you don't have the container-lock after deployment that Peter had. ... .

I would like to nominate this for a Nugget . ..." I think I have it figured out except for what to do with it." .

Ya Tom I was just about to ask that question of (where he took his first FJC ?) from all the info given from his 1st Post in the thread. - Hey before I provoke more hate mail like the one received from gharendza. The questions I asked are out Shear Curiosity for an EXTREMELY Vague question being asked by Kameradale. How the hell is one to answer a question that is without the facts to give an answer ? The only fact given was the first sentence. " I have never packed with a Slider." Followed by the next sentence of: ..." I think I have it figured out except for what to do with it " The rest of the post was just - PLAIN SCARY - Really kameradale you should for your own safety get someone to help you with hands-on to visually show and explain the workings of a Slider-up BASE jump. Do You really want to LEARN to properly pack a BASE slider-up pack job Off the internet ? .

A couple quick questions: . You have NEVER packed with a slider ? You have Never done a Slider-Up jump ? Does you Slider get caught on Toggles or anything else when you are Skydiving ? Are you talking about. Packing for a Slider-Up WITH your Slider pulled DOWN ? Are you talking about packing for a Slider-up ? Do you want it to just LAY there. Or do you want it to Slide Down. To delay your opening ? Do you have anyone in Real Life to ask that can show you how it is done ? Are you just teaching yourself to BASE jump by reading a predominantly skydiver BASE web-site ? .

..."I cannot thank him enough for his help in creating the life saving device. " - I don't think it is an actual Life Saving Device. Till you actually Jump It. And You LIVE. ....... .

A Real delay is ? When your Hand starts to reach for the Pilot Chute in freefall. You mentally over-ride your natural survival line, for the Pitch. Count one more Second. Then Gab and pitch your Pilot Chute. .

..." Hahaha. But then again I paid for my mistake with not 1 but 2 PCAs from that glorious building. OH the shame". Matt - OHHHHH (cough cough) The Shame. I thought that was the, CNN camera getting the hanging shots. ...... . . Edit to add: Man now you got me thinking back to that time now. I had a good time back then. that same week Partying down the streets at night with those fucking Russians. while Blowing J's and passing around a couple liters of Vodka. Those bastards are Crazy (in a good way) I luv them punks. nobody can out drink them. We were walking talking, drinking and getting pretty buzzed. I remember kind of mentioning to them. That maybe we should make a small effort to keep it Low-Key. With drugs and all being the death penalty. They all Laughed @ me and one Russian barked out. "FUCK ! the death penalty" Then latter we ended up at this big Russian party. Where Iiro was getting pretty wound-up and buzzed. Then people (iiro started it) started Blind-side-Tackling @ random, people into the swimming pool. Fuck Matt, them were some Goodtimes. even with the broken Ribs. I wouldn't trade that time for anything in the world. .... .

Matt you Bastard ! .. You Will get that 50 Ringit over my dead body. Also, If you follow my logic and thinking. All I have to do is wait around long enough and everyone that was on the Load will have Quit Jumping or be DEAD. Then it will be just, My Side of the Story. HA HA HA AH AH ! "You will get that Ringit over my dead body" ? I was just thinking. The night is still pretty young. .

ya maggot is on the right track. A qualified instructor is ? ( Anyone ) All it matters to that instructor/person to make himself qualified is ( what he tells himself ) about himself. Plus what sales pitch he rattles off to the prospect BASE student. Basically, All an instructor has to have for knowledge and qualification is ? One BASE jump more than the student. Plus a Self-Ordained belief in himself. .

Lock This Thread Up ! Ohhhhhh Maggot. i'm a little disapointed. You woke me up and I am just getting started here Son. You talk a pretty mean line of shit in the opening Thread Post. NOW you want to LOCK this Thread. You Whiny fucking Pussy. cocksucking little crybaby. Begging, for Tom to lock it up. . By the way. Your Hair ? looks like a generic SuperCuts 10-$ Special. Soooo Bring it on motherfucker. .

. . . " know what I mean Ray" ? - You have got to be fucking joking ? Yes I think I know what you mean and I think paid for that bandit jump. a couple years I thoughtlessly disregarded my Health by NOT taking a more conservative line. I had a bad exit foot hold. I had shitty exit for object clearance. I ignored a strong side wind. That was the last day of the holiday and the following day way the beginning of the business week to limit my building access. I was also mentally Tired from making 10 jump that day already. I was being greedy but mostly I basically WANTED that object so bad for so long that I talked myself into it and blinded my better judgment by stupidity. Hey Listen Pope, Just because you don't like me does not mean you have try to be such a fucking Dick. I think I paid for my mistake with 3 broken Ribs. While I also fucked the rest of the load that is still living and out of there exits that evening. You still seem to hold a grudge. Still I did not see anybody else eagerly climbing up to exit that spot ahead of me anyway. ..... maybe you wanted to go first ? Also bigboy, technically the Event was OVER. so I justified and reinforced my actions with that fact also. Soooooo tell me. Do you really See, Read, watch video or Hear ME bragging, boosting and yammering on the internet about my bad choice in decisions that evening. Like I'm reading in this fucking thread ??? Also is there anything else you want to publicly get off your chest that is bothering you. Why are you still being a big PooPo Head ? You must still be holding a Grudge for bringing this SHIT up in the middle of this Thread. That jump was Not Me doing something stupid right in the middle of an event like Moab thanksgiving. I would like to also Add something to that sharp but selective memory you recklessly throw up. That jump was a group of guys - Which also YOU were one of the group and taking part in - going out and making a BANDIT JUMP off a world class skyscraper at the END of an event. We ALL threw in Together. I screwed the pooch. I paid the price. But at least you got walk away still freely breathing and not bleeding. If you think I was haveing just a little to much fun than you were. Let me know. ... - So is there anything else you still Think you want to slap me around in public for that you were a part of ? I think you should Spit it out now buddy Or forever hold your peace. Because I would really like to rap this crap up and put it to an end to all this petty hostility that you hold. Come on dont be scared. Let it out. Im a man and can take a little critisism... . .

So what You are saying is ? You are uncertain & that makes you uncomfortable that you Can't Jump a 400 foot Overhung cliff. All day long and not spank it and get all fuckd up ? - What I am saying is. If you as a BASE jumper can Not go to that VERY Non Technical Cliff and jump all day long without Fucking yourself up. And are Uncertain or Uncomfortable that you achive this small goal. Then Maybe you should jump somewhere else till you have the ability and knowledge to do so. .

Your jump attitude: 150 people making 500 jumps a day off of 300-400ft cliffs... there is almost a certainty that there will be an accident. Serious accident. - My jump attitude: 150 Qualified BASE jumpers making 500 jumps a day off of 300-400ft cliffs... there is almost a certainty that there will be Small accidents. Like cuts & scrapes or sprained Ankles But Nothing Serious. .

PS. I think we who stopped jumping at Mineral Bottom after the strike should all be grateful to our God Maggot, the BASE Sex Symbol. Because we never know. We never know if something much worse wouldn't happen that day. Yuri - Grateful ? what the fuck were you smoking ? I don't think I stopped jumping that day as a fucking gratuity. I think I stopped jumping because Maggot and the other guy flailing & Spanking the wall was just a BuzzKill to say the least. It just kind of spoils my relaxing jumps and easy going, happy go lucky attitude. The other guy (name ?) at least had a serious attitude and was giving it his BEST to survive but Maggot you were just running rampant without discipline. I meet you and you seem like a nice and likable guy. I will jump with you anytime but you trying to hold that pace of jumping for any amount of time will come back to bite you in the ass. It also takes a little extra discipline and courtesy to promoters who offer BASE events like Thanksgiving jumps @ Moab. Honestly any other jump day. Normally I wouldn't give a shit or bat an eye if you smoked-it-in to the dirt but the negative consequences are different when it makes special BASE events and there organizers look Bad. .

FUCK....now that I have quit Laughing. That is a Post Reply that is worthy of PRAISE and to be reckoned with. Speaking of, Freud or Freudian. I think I have. Reply to Thread Post, Envy ! ...... .

Loop - line eyelet - Pin for no slider. standard, Toggle - Loop for slider up. looks like them Risers have seen a few jumps. Also one of the brake lines settings look well worn. Toggle grommets are rusty and corroded too. Should just toss them things in the trash can. I also hate those kind of Velcro line stows on Risers. or Just save them for water jumps. Personally I wouldn't be seen Dead with them Risers on my Rig. .......... .

Damn Right, Idaho is a Right to Die State. You and no one else are responsible & liable for your life and liberty. .

ya it looks a little long. I could be wrong. I think that RW riser construction sheet has it set for about 1-1/4" (+ /-) 1/16th from the edge of the confluence wrap. Hard to say just from a Pic. Technically I think it only takes 4 lb's of Loop pressure on the small ring to hold the entire 3 Ring system closed under a load. Its a pretty amazing small piece of machinery made of metal and fabric. Your whole life depends on a bar-tac or a piece of 550 lb. Sheathing or Ring or a piece of Webbing. Personally I don't like to dwell on the structural strength of the individual pieces. It's enough to freak anybody out. I just pack it up and Fling my body off. .... .

You know Skin. You'd Hope that to be the truth but sadly not so. Actually I witnessed two Orangutan in the Zoo. The large male Orangutan pulling the smaller females Head down on the O'l Flag Pole. I think I actually saw an Orangutan smile that day. Yes Skin. Breeding is such an Ugly thing. .

Hey anybody need help with the Wire.??? I went back last night with a couple more people to do another jump and It Is getting a little BASTERDIZED to a obvious level. Hey I would be glad to meet you and walk you through the Access. The way you are doing it. Is right next to the proper entrance and is going to be a big problem because it is the only corner left to enter without Lights or Camera in the compound. Please get in touch with someone who can help you do a Much Cleaner entrance threw the wire. ........thanks. .
