hell Yeah Jaap. Open up everything. Commited to the Core. Be well buddy, we will jump together sometime. hopefully soon,

Need A pilot? I assume your one, but if you need a Backup. I will fly any DeHavy Ship. My favorite. will move

"No" *Phew .. -SPACE-

Ha! skydivers got it made! imagine the Attitude they have with us BASE jumpers. or, the attitude that conservative skydivers have when a BASE jumper gets hurt. ... -SPACE-

No, seriously.

Plus... Paragliders can MOVE. and I mean MOVE. Swoopers have got nothing on an aerobatice PG wing. Funnest Ram Air things in the world.

PS, all you airplane jumpy people take a look at what we said in the BASE forum, kinda strange. -SPACE-

Christmas Dinner Conversation: Uncle Tom: Sooo, you can jump off Antenas with that parachute of yours boy? me: "Yes tom". *bites down on turkey Uncle Tom: "Hmm, well, my radio station owns a few of those. maybe you could jump off one of mine. how tall do they have to be?" me:*raises eyebrow, chews. "about 300' tom, how tall are yours?" Uncle tom: "well, our biggest one is just over 450 feet i think." Me: *Blows chunks of turkey onto grandma. "We just now have this conversation because!?" and you know the rest... got 2 hucks off it while i was in town. i have a key. Thanks uncle tom. been a while since i have done that in the daylight. PS-He said that next time im in town, i can bring freinds. (i will notify locals)

So, Hypotheticaly, we take a heads up guy or girl, No skydives, No paragliding... After giving hours worth of ground training, showing film of everything, a canopy Kiteing class, Exit Practice in a pool, Specific to each Option, and assuming we did it only once... What would be Safer, A short delay base jump from a bridge over water with planned water landing OR- an unassisted Skydive from 5000', with Cypress. No AFF instructors, no static line, small cessna door. both with large Canopies with a wing loading of .5/1. Not gonna do it, but Some BASE freinds and I were discussing it last night, and we could not conclude. ................................... Posted in BASE forums, and want to try it here. PS-deathcamp is a jokeing terms base jumpers use to describe teaching people to BASE jump with no skydiving experience.

good idea...

And i am not talking a jump door otter, a 182 with a side door, no static line, no AFF instructors, 10 second delay. And how about if we Make the potato jump without a water landing, instruct to land on the big LZ?

I think the difference is there is no freefall present instructors, I have seen footy of Darwin first AFF jumpers freaking out, not being able to breathe. if there was no instructors there they would have been pulling handles until they ran out of them or they hit the ground, most of them spinning wildly. -SPACE-

If you really wanted to jump, you would ask him to push you. -SPACE-

Dont Forget to Cinch the Cord down on the hood so you cant see.

Yeah! Some guy told me about this great cliff, just over 200 feet! I will pack your chute for you if you want! -SPACE-

"it's 400', 2 sec delay, nice landing area, you'll be fine. Can't miss the exit point. " sounds like my first trip to moab... actualy, word for word.

pretty cool. I dono about you guys, but im still gonna jump off real things. -SPACE-

-SPACE-

Whoa... I hope that was a jokeing response because my post sure was... will call, thanks. -SPACE-

"the second time..." in fact, a girl ACTUALY SAID THIS TO ME. I rolled out of bed at 4am, i had to get some water i was laughing so hard. But it is in sooper troopers. A wonderul Film

..., I have seen super gungho first time jumpers, at the bridges and on A's, scared to death, when a day before they were bragging about how they were going to "huck a gainer" on their first jump. Its funny how they get quiet as they start climbing a ladder at 4am, or beg for a PCA off the potato. I think Base speaks for itself a lot of the time. but your correct, there is a huge difference when i show my freinds raw footage and then something edited to weird trance music, in sequence. the respect is there for both occasions, but the raw footage gives them the reality,

... ? see the message im replying to... Continuum and C2 are documentaries. I doubt in any way they were meant to be instructional films. ... ... -SPACE-

... poop. link me to one that allows Jokeing please

Oh... i was just jokeing. um... ---blushes, embarassed for being a retard, and hucks the B. -SPACE-
