Who were the Kiwis that were there?

Amazingly I have to agree with Ray on this one. Still my thoughts go out to friends and family. Play safe folks.

Jimmy mate, sounds like the young guy with the itchy trigger finger needed you to tell him the story about the time when you destroyed your parents Mercedes. Or at least the time you tied your tent to the wheel of your car and then drove into town to get supplies. That might have made him feel a little less threatened by you. Sorry to hear it though. I've always wanted that one. Chin up mate I'll see you soon. Matt

I sent you a PM. Matt

ABSOLUTELY NOT YOU CHEEKY BASTARD. Too much fascial hair and the wrong plumbing. Now if he had a sister...nah mate it's the real deal or nothing. I won't lower my standards. Plus her all dolled up as Lara Croft...HOLY SHIT she could get me into any building anywhere. No fat suit, no crazy mask all eyes would be on her mate. and if they weren't she just have to start kicking arse mate. Stunning and totally fucked in the head. Brilliant.

I'll quit the day Angelina Jolie proposes to me. Post Brad of course.

Ken mate, love ya work ...moral fortitude, courage and ability of people like Jeb, Ray Losli, Nick DG etc . I think you accidently put Ray in the wrong group. Still bummed i didn't get to jump in the B Mtns with you fellas. Hope to see you guys in the US or Europe some time. Matt

That's Brotherly love...right??

Nick, I'll remember you for your excellent customer service and your quick wit. As long as I get my Flik by June 1. Cheers mate.

Battery schmattery. They're for pussies. I have personally used a stack of anti personal land mines before, a monkey(watch out for your keys, wallets and sunnies they could go missing) and my least favorite, Ray Losli. That's right folks, I once used Ray as a packing weight. It was meant to be this cute red head with great tits but Ray chased her off with all this talk about himself and his "Soft cock". Using Ray as a packing weight has it's drawbacks though. You tend to pack 3 times faster cutting tons of corners just so you can finish and not have to listen to him. Then there's also the that ringing in your ears that sounds a lot like Ray's voice. That's hard to shake and can be disconcerting when you jump. All in all the battery seems pretty benign to me. Go for it. Hey Ray. Youre a big softie.

Spoken like a true founding father. Good job mate.

Flummi. Raff is still jumping and must be approaching 60 if he isn't already. "Just don't mention the war. I did once but I think I got away with it."

Tom Aiello started jumping about the same time as me back in 99. Remember our first trip to the Perrine Tom? I guess he must have been in his late twenties. Well he's in his mid fifties now so at this astounding rate Tom Aiello could be the oldest BASE jumper in the world in about 5 years. That's right folks Tom is actually aging faster than anyone else I know. It's this moderating caper, you age 3 times as fast just trying to keep a track of everyone. It's kinda like being a Pope but with a different looking funny hat and knee pads. Good for you Tom. I'm really looking forward to your golden wedding anniversary in 3 years time.

No Tom. that rule only counts if the person betting against you doesn't know rule number 7. #7 "There are no rules." Don't worry Tom I'll post a full set of Mince Division rules somewhere. Maybe inside the visitors center toilets in TF or have them tattooed inside Ray Losli's mouth. That way whenever he's around and blabbing people will be able to read them at their leisure.

Wait just a minute Tom. That's my bet you're trying to weasel in on. Just kidding. Maybe try and isolate the position of the head, use peripheral vision, wing mirrors...maybe not. It seems as though the head sticking out in front has a tendancy to act like a rudder. Maybe link the head and leading edge to lines or bungees attached to the feet. When fully extended guving tension to the leading edge????? Shit fellas what the Hell do I know? I'm just a tracker. Can't wait to see the next development.

Robi. Why not just incorporate the leading edge of the wings with the head? The head would then become part of the wing. Or like you said, you just remove the head. That would be a neat trick.

My personal favorite. "My foot slipped!" Guess who...

I recognize that little fella from KL but he decided to stay behind that evening. Said he was going to hang around with Iiro and the Russians. You know, drink a little vodka push some girls in the pool. He did however warn Ray against going. Citing Ray's exhausted appearance and his last few jumps having been poorly executed. Ray, obviously, ignored his monkey and I can still hear the little guy chattering at Ray about not coming back crying to him about broken bones, slippery exit points and dastardly crosswinds. Oh well such is life. I guess the Norwegians wanted to quarantine Ray's cadre of BASE advisors and that's why he's not going to the Heliboogie. I'm going to miss those little furry guys. They haven't quite mastered tracking yet but when they do...no more monkey business. Ray will once again be on his own. Free to make his own brilliant calls again.

No worries. Might want to just take the bus from the airport to downtown. It's pretty direct and will save money. Then it's about a 5min walk to the Havly Hotel. You probably know all this anyway. Good luck. C Ya there. BTW. Does anyone know if Ray Losli is going to the Heliboogie?

Finally, my money is being spent on something worthwhile. I hear Ray now travels the world with the same monkeys and has them evaluate each exit point for him before he even goes near it. They're amazingly capable. They'll even advise him on a suitable footwear choice to go with the correct size pilot chute.

Ray Losli isn't in charge of those bloody monkeys is he?

Yes there's a nice extension ladder downtown behind a youth hostel. Have some hold the ladder for you so you can climb up to the top...approximately 26'. I strongly reccomend you static line this one. Make sure you check with the locals first though. If you don't they might assume, for their own, sakes that your British by your lack of BASE etiquet and reinvade the Falklands. Couldn't have that Old Bean.

Don't know if you have the ability to change your arrival time into Stavanger but if you get there approx 2hours earlier you could make the fast ferry from Lauvik at 4:45 and avoid the hotel stay. Just a thought. There'll be at least 3 of us doing just that. No fast ferry on Saturday either. Just the slow one.

You know Ray, may I call you Ray or do I have to still call you "Your Wobbly Horrorfulness" those were indeed some good times. I must hasten to add that by my calculations I shall outlive you thereby insuring my side of the story passing sweetly on into the realm of urban legend. Don't ask me how I came up with the fact that I was going to live longer than you...I think I took my age and divided it by the number of ribs I have broken and came up with...34 more years and by those same calcs you have 15 more??? At least that's the most scientific method. You could also take the your total number of jumps and divide that by the number of times you yelled "My foot slipped" and that will give you months left alive. Yeah man it's pretty advanced stuff, I don't recomend this type of math for just anyone. If you need help just give me a shout.

RAY!!! SETTLE DOWN!!! You can keep my R50 and I'll even give you an extra R200 if you promise never to slip on exit ever again...EVER AGAIN!! RAY!! No more WOBBLY HORROR SHOW JUMPS. And don't even blame your boots RAY. We're watching you. MOSS TOSSER.
