    BASE stereotype

    I think to get an accurate answer you would have to go to your local grocery store and take a survey. Most people really don't understand what BASE jumping is (even when you explain it to them) and will give you their view according to their beliefs on skydiving. Explanation on BASE -Calculated risks, part physicist part meteorologist, part athlete , high level of awareness under stressfull situations. Could you get me some Twinkies while your there , Thanks?

    ITW winds part 1

    Nice diagram. Will the Ora blow during the summer under high pressure weather as well ?
  4. Try to rent a 4WD (with insurance ) and stop by Slickrock Campground when you get into town. Matt the owner jumps and there's usually other jumpers there as well.
  5. I said to the right, because having one riser group lower than the other equals a banked turn to that side.
  6. I was thinking of taking out the Prodigy bottom half with the PF jacket. Did you take the bottom half out of a plane or off an object ( how high ) ? What angle would you say it flys at ?
  7. Received email from Espen there are no more copies left of "Superterminal". They hoped the new copies would circulate from the ones sent out. If anyone who received a copy would kindly burn one, I would pay for all expenses. Thank you, Mike [email protected]
  8. Sounds good. Where can I purchase a copy ? Thanks Yo
  9. 740 - because 10 more is Mount Everest.

  12. It's called "Death Camp" First you put the backpack on... then you jump... then you grab the yonkles... then you schlare the canopy.. it's just like driving a car

  14. I've got the stealthy all black and love it. -it always looks clean (you'll never have to wash it!) -keeps you a little warmer in the winter -great for NPS BASE -makes me think I'm a big raven
  15. Potash - delay 4 horseman - climb Mineral B - canopy ride Moab- one of the most beautiful places in the world
  16. There is a poster out of Ueli G (I think) jumping the Swiss Fungus. No idea where to get a copy though. Also, Thomas Ulrich who shoots for Red Bull has a site www.thomasulrich.com
