  1. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2007739&l=d0432&id=203002032 a few of my favorites.
  2. I second. what did he do wrong exactly?
  3. nah dude, he made it out of state flags. -SPACE-
  4. I AGREE!!!! i need to post a new thread on this. I have about 4 usernames for the other forums, and i want to put it all up here. Hell, Ill moderate it. (dont fucking laugh) there is a bunch of PG pilots out there on dropzone, and I know bunch of skiflyers/ground launchers. please?
  5. if i wasnt banned from every forum but this one, i would say lets move this to the bonfire. -SPACE-
  6. ok, thats totaly bad ass. i just spent an hour going through the files and sites on that idea. brilliant and simple. the best ones always are simple.
  7. Ha!! i had my Gin Bonanza as well in the car that day, and ALMOST grabbed it instead of my dagger, if i had, i would have been in the hospital for 3 months 2 days early. but, i dont know, the only paraglider towing i have done is either the accepted scooter towing, or 1996 gliders, and they tow a lot differently than the new wings.
  8. Nick, i only read the first paragraph of your post, but want to be the first to respnd. the term 'old schooler' is given to you and others, from me and i assume most others in here, with full respect, and is not meant in any kind of derogetory way. it is understood that you have much more knoledge of this sport than anyone else out there for the most part. all it is meant to describe is that, you are, an older, seasoned jumper. and most of the rest of us are not. would you like us to use a diferent term? edit-of course, we use the term losely, because old schoolers take it in a derogetory way, and its funny.
  9. hey man, i have actualy done that. Me and my best jumper freind and the girl he was screwing at the time drove out to our local huge A to check out the rumors of new security, it was windy as hell, and we had our car-tow rig in the car. just anchored the line at 500', and i hooked in with the drop release with my dagger, now THAT was sketchy. ask alex, he thought i was going in on a few of the gusts. it was like the car was varying in speed by 20mph, it was 15mph, then 35, crazy. thats colorado wind for ya. wasnt up a mountain, that would be a huge bitch to retreive all the tow line, set up, etc. but its a cool idea. even winding 3000' of tow line we were using at the airport took at least an hour. we couldnt afford a winch.
  10. coulld it be, that the talnted BASE Hoppers dont care about the shite we pull eachothers hair about on this forum? -SPACE-
  11. I dont disagree with you there, elduderino, I usualy completely ignore the old schoolers posts about how the sport is totaly fucked because of us, mainly because they consider me one of the 'us', andi most of us short of the other old schoolers would have ignored it as well. so good point. seriously, I am a newer jumper, i was one of few americans who still learned from a few mentors, and i feel the need to defend myself from nicks post. I have posted 2 films online, neither about BASE, but both with only legal moab BASE jumps in them, cant say that the flying was legal, but thats a whole new panty grundle. and kevin, you didnt hyjack the thread, A-its a thread, and you didnt take hosteges, there were no injuries B-its a thread, its supposed to be hyjacked if nobody disagreed, why the fuck are we here? it gives me a good break between school tests online.
  12. hey man, i agree wit what he said, but did nick have to be so insulting and dramatic about it? this thread was also started for reasons besides nicks rant.
  13. I agree... I had a girl that was begging me for it, and her dad was a commercial demolitionist. but, i have a pretty GF now, so, thats out. I want/need some hard core blam. anyone have any idea on how to get it? ps-it is for something non-destructive, like in the bad ass urban surfing film
  14. i dono, i hope so. im about to get my Sushirollover and Quadruple slider down barrelroll and 2/1 track down. i still want to be able to read this worthless shite when i get banned
  15. dude, all the actualy talented BASE jumpers got banned from dorkzone.
  16. we could let the slide gain on us easily, then gain speed slowly, but not fast enough to lose too much airspeed. as the slide hits the bottom of the hill, we would have so much ground speed we could land the suit!!!! ok, never mind.
  17. yuri, that is SWEET. (the link, your idea, well, it would be cool. but, there is logistical issues with that. avalanches drag air with them, a lot.
  18. how is that not a good thing? and man nick, i just read your whole post instead of just the article. you really hate us. dude, this is what happens to amazing new sports. all of them. i like you and respect you dude, but, shite. Ummm... Just a thought here, doesn't the NPS also have the jurisdiction/right to grant permission for BASE jumps in parks? I could very well see the building owners/city granting BASE access to a building just as often as the NPS does in parks. Disregarding Bridge Day, it will never happen. Not on this continent, anyway. agreed. but still, its better than absolutly not never.
  19. are you fucking kidding me? safe distance? the many hours i have spent climbing my local 600meter stick, i have dreamed and dreamed about standing on the top, and haveing it fall beneath me, taking a push off it and tracking like i never tracked before, watching it scatter between my legs as i deploy. that would be the single coolest moment of my life. i know you know what i mean.
  20. really bored man. i need to be entertained or banned. again.
  21. We are all fucked, totaly fucked and its all our fault. no one will ever do a BASE jump again in the USA, the Manufactures will be treated like drug smugglers, and the poice will exercise their own judicial discretion whenever they see a base jumper, the will shoot us in the head for holding a backpack that reminds them of a parachute. do you ever think any of the options will happen? check all that you do -SPACE-
  22. have you watched the news lately? i mean, when was the last time anyone saw anything positive on the news short of the fireturck people got the little old ladies cat out of the tree? There was a huge storm here, about a meter and a half of snow, and some kids decided to go ski down the god damn PUBLIC red rocks ampetheater, the news found some film of it and was freaking out, saying these ids are reckless and are destroying the park. fuck the media, they cant help people like us. nobody likes us.
  23. Yes, wakes them up from their sleep at 3AM going 'I see BASE jumpers!'... well said -SPACE-
