there is 2 colorado crews. they dont talk to eachother much, but i think your correct. tracks in snow is bad man. like i said.... colorado is fragile for base i think. im tainted because i live here. so i dont know for sure. the way you ohio kids talk it seems that way.

pilot chutes are a bitch to make, especialy ones with multiple plates for the canopy.

I will never flame anyone for climbing down. but i reserve the right to make fun, IN GOOD FUN, as long as no one gets hurt.

damn, you got me. just one more thing i made up. we just unpacked our rigs on the ground and got drug half the way back to the car. wait, we did get drug a long way back to the car after we got to the ground. i have always said, it would take a lot more than strong wind to make me climb down a tower.

Do you think that apart from your friends (who incidentally you can call on that invention called a telephone) the rest of us really care? Homeslice, I -AM- proud of nate for climbing down. I agree, it takes more balls to puss out than it does to jump. I dont think i would have done the jump standard, only a floater. it was really cooking. NATE was not comfortable with it, and thats cool. its just a joke. Sigh... -SPACE-

right on. it takes bigger balls to climb down. good job nate. Sigh.

wrong state man, i thought the whole ohio crew was out in CO. wait, there is a lot of you aint there?

plus, velcro rigs are scary enough going terminal. i dont blame the kid. blimbing that ladder was a bitch.

i mean, the three of us slider down, at 400', and he is the only one with the balls the puss out and climb down. i mean, i had no problem with the 50mph tailwind right between the wires. the two of us just floated the bitch. full moon, sick visuals. goodnigtht nate.

3" mon my blackjack, 6"on freinds troll. i think it helped. but not as much as i thought.

we should pack on every jump. ive been sayin it.

i have a hard time believing that a profiled rig is whats helping that much, i doubt that a video can compare the body positioning between two seperate tracks, the inputs of hte body is so minimal. im not trying to say your wrong, just saying that it beats me.

Hey, do you actively measure any of the loads being placed on the lines/anchors? Or do you just estimate? I own a dynofor load cell, a german company (i stole it) it measures the force of whatever we put it on. so yeah, we actively measure. but for a long while we estimated. 'trial and error' mostly trial. only 1 error.

I know a few guys who knew him fairly well. i never had the pleasure sadly. they are BASE jumpers, but i dont know if dano Base hoped with them.

sorry, your right. my bad. i have a habit of a d after that name

Thats Dan Olden, He is dead now.Supricinly not from freeclimbing, but from cool kingswinging in the carlifornian valley with old ropes. But hell man that was some fast climbing. my god! Something tells me he did that rout a coupple of times. old ropes had nothing to do with dan OSMONs death. he messed up an exit point for a ROPE JUMP, and crossed lines. to many climbers read the warning labels on there 60meter climbing ropes and think they know everything about nylon and the way it reacts.

damn, you beat me to it.

um, isnt that just about the only time where that can be survived? or has ever been survived? if on a terminal wall one was to catch a leg, or even a tip of the foot, i think it would be curtains. edited to add, i mean if the foot was to clock a ledge in the first 4 seconds, not terminal. terminal would as you said be fatal.

the guy is my hero. I had, and still have a few really shitty legs, and it hurt like a bitch to climb out, so he lent me his kayak whlie him and his fam were out there. i boated out, and he machined his way the 500'. that was great. thanks man. im going to have to buy a kayak. ill be at potato in 2 days. wait. cold. hmm...

A med student freind of mine said something about 'scrambling the nerve'. i was wondering if it is really something that exists. i googled it with no results. i think it means cutting the receptor nerve to the ankle. i would do it in a second. i have no worries about walking around with a shoe on forever. that does not bug me. but i want to be able to run.

steve. dude. sigh.

so, i have 2 natural but very injured ankles, but they both hurt like hell when i walk, its intense when i hike or decend. im thinking about getting them fused, or both. the left needs to be fused for side to side motion to stop the pain, the right up and down needs to be fused. could i still fly a wingsuit?
