again i would just like input from people who have FULL ZP TOPSKIN TERMINAL BASE OPENING EXPERIENCE PLEASE. ( i'm not really yelling just imphasizin'-- i swear!)

and i don't care too much about who the maker of the canopy is. just the opening of your all ZP topskin BASE canopy at terminal that's all. pro's and con's.

thanx all.

Why do you want to load the hell out of a 244? Just curious. PM me if you're feeling shy.

just lookin' 4 sumthin' i can skydive (no D-bag terminal & sometimes D-bag) alot and still use in BASE (ZP=longivity) and has a little more performance for certain situations. obviously not thinkin' of tighter landing areas or low stuff. just higher stuff. with decent landin' areas etc...............i'm sure you have an idea............

i do realize if i have a mal. it will now be a faster mal. consideriing i'm already a little heavy with my 266's.

how funny.
marta and jimmy had a 2 canopy container system called the sorcerer out before skyhook. that worked on the same principal.

I think the skyhook kinda riped off marta and jimmy's vertigo sorcerer.

but maybe i'm wrong?

It's noticeable, that's for sure.

If you want to get a real feeling for it, why not borrow a ZP topskin canopy and just do the comparison?

hey al.

just using for 10+ sec. jumps. and also for skydivng. ZP LASTs alot longer AS well (can do lots of skydives on it and still do lots of long delay BASE as well).
need a 244 for specific jumps/reasons.
also i like the FLIK alot! it luvs to fly. it's what i know and currently own.

again just curious about the openings of FULL ZP topskin vs. F111 top skin. During teminal V.

BASE 194

the other day a jumper asked me i i'd jumped "off" anything recently and i said "no" but i've walked down or away from a large handfull of things because of the wind.

and the other jumper with him said "smart, that's how you stay alive in BASE!" (the other jumper is an extremely famous skydiver/BASE jumper)

I learned the hard way through 3 "wind" experiences. i took the third to make me look at myself and really stop worrying about my jump numbers and worry more about what the wind does to your pilot chute/bridle set up!
and even if that works (PC set-up) you also have to make it to the right landing area.

WIND SUX! i'm really sorry that this poor soul died doin' somethin' he and we all luv.

please respect the wind. even on a bridge! i've had a really bad experiences on a couple of a diffenen't bridges. alot lower and lot's of stuff and "fangs" around.

Well you throw my name around pretty easily, albeit misspelled, so who the fuck are you?

never said i was smart! "who the fuck am i?". keep talkin' tough! that's funny! again look in the mirror. your not exactly a tough guy!!! man i luv 4 U 2 talk 2 me like dat holms'!!

i'm sure one of your jump number worshiper's will PM you with my name! and i have a good idea who?? if not? one day i'll bump into you and say "hey it's WORLDSOCOLD who the f#%k are you?"

edit to remove ethnic slurs ~TA


NOW THAT THIS THREAD HAS BEEN ALMOST HIJACKED!!!!! by my whining at JP the swooper/tunnel guy!!

I STILL SAY PACKING ON A BUILDING IS OK. I'VE BEEN ON A FEW BUILDINGS FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS WAITING 4 THE WIND 2 DIE DOWN. AND ONCE YOU GET PAST THE FIRST FEW FLOORS (USUALLY) THERE'S NO-ONE AROUND--AT LEAST IN MY LIMITED EXPERIENCES. yes i'm yelling aint it nice. yee haa!!! i want to be cowboy!!!

AH F%#K IT. NO HARD FEELINGS MAN. i'm just a sensitive little pussy. and pleez remember. our opinions are like A-HOLES. WE all seem 2 have 1!!

i think we need to jump more and type less...and someone needs 2 turn the frickn' wind off!!!! i'm goin' nutz here!!!


let's get back to talking about MAYBE burning "B's" down by packin' on them....and crashing bikes into certain "A's" we always wanted to ride off....and dayblaczing a low central california "S" when a CHP just drove by (um...that's not so bad) ... or telling the nice climber on an extremly popular "E" that your going to jump it in the morning only to find out the nice climber was the NPS. yeah that's what this place is for. gee!!! someone sprinkle sum fairy dust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

would like 2 say that after reading my first post it have sounded threatening. didn't mean it to be.

would also like 2 say that i have had met JP before when he worked at perris. that's where i started jumping. all i ever wanted 2 do was get enough jumpin' in to be comfortable to get into the B.A.S.E. enviroment. which took me alot of jumps (in a short period of time).

i would as a new jumper always ask various experienced jumpers questions. most were cool. JEB, JON TAGLE, CLINT CLAWSON , ETC. anybody with more jumps than me. most people were nice. and come to find out later they really famous jumpers with a huge amount of jump numbers.

and then there were some people like-- jp fernari who were consistantly too egoed and shitty to me when i would questions. and treat you like you were an idiot for asking. even after i had 300+ jumps and my wingsuit ordered. and i would still ask jp fernari about wingsuit stuff, and he still acted like i was buggin' him. so whatever!!
on the other hand i always noticed if jp fernari was gettin paid or gettin' somethin' "quid pro quo" off of you he SURE WAS DIFFEREN'T!

but i'm sure i'm just imagining at that.

hey jp have a nice B.A.S.E. career (really) just think about how you talk to and treat people?!?!?

and i'm not just pickin' on JP. there are others. i've had people say: "hey man next time you go to that one "A" can you take me? or "hey dude i heard you've been to yosemite a couple of times? next time you go......" and these guys were shitty to me when i first started jumpin'. but now they know i'm BASE'en and they're like treatin' me differen't and want me to take em' here and there. and i'm like f%#k that!

i'm starting to type like i care!!! i'm pretty sensitive!

quote from diablopilot:

Like I said. "Who cares?"

What? Does the OP want a cookie because they made a BASE jump, or packed somehwere "different"?

Quit Bragging. This ain't Christmas, and I don't care if you got a shinny new bike.

As to comparing our profiles, I've got BASE jumps, a rig packed and ready to go any time, I just think it's ridiculous to be bragging about this shit expecting a pat on the head. I also might choose not to advertise the fact I base in conjuntion with my location so prominately. My BASE jumps (or skydiving) doesn't define me, I define them. No wonder the DZ.com BASE Forum is a joke to most.

The crew I grew up with when learning much of what I did about BASE (YEARS before I made my first jumps) had some respect for the shadows they had to move in. The only color for a BASE rig was BLACK. Videos we're RARELY shown outside the sport, and objects were respected. I can't even jump the best objects near my hometown any more because of attitudes like the original post in this thread exibits.

SO enjoy your dayglow rig, YouTube videos of your jumps, flashing your "BASE Jumper" card (or T-shirt) to girls at the local pub, and keep spanking your monkey at the exit point.

As I said before. Who cares? (Not I, just in case you were not clear on that).

????????????? look you still don't get it.

I seem to remember my friends at the ranch going to the perrine with you a while back, where else have you jumped? are you jealous cus youve never packed inside a building you were about to jump

if you JP HAVE EVER SNUCK ON TOP OF A "B" BEFORE YOU'D SIMPLY UNDERSTAND HOW COOL IT IS TO GET AWAY IT SOMETHING LIKE THEY DID ???

quote from hookit:
Actually JP, you are a bit abrasive online. I'll still jump with you any day though.

It's just a website... hmmm.. one can post stories on a website no? I like reading stories.

Let me know when you're back in the area.

he (hookit) obviously thinks your cool. but pointed out something very obvious. again were not goin' on your forum conversations with our less informed opinions (speaking for myself) and saying "WHO CARES" about your swooping,camera,tunnel, statements. again if you've been on a "B" before you would know.

later and try to be a little nicer to newbies when they meet you.. try not talking down to them and being condasending. cuz they eventually get better and end up not likeing You later on. and won't help you. it's a small world in BASE.

ALSO WOULD LIKE TO ADD: look in the mirror at yourself. YOU are still the same exact person you were before you started jumpin'. just remember that! you're nothing more. your the SAME guy but now you jump out of plane or bridge with a parachute. your jump numbers don't allow you talk differen'tly to people with lower jump numbers. you might think they do?

i know some people do let people talk down to them if the other person has alot more jump numbers than them.

not me man. i treat everybody the same i will knock the f#%k out of anybody if they push my buttons. if they have 1 jump or 10,000 jumps.

i really don't give a F#%K! AND I CAN BACK THAT UP!

that's who i was before i started jumpin' and that's who i still am now. and no i don't pick fights. i'm actually really shy and quiet unless someone starts messin' with me! then............

if your cool your cool. jump numbers don't mean shit. i would never jump with somebody because they had a ton of experience if they were an egoed prick just to learn off them!! some would and will. i'd rather jump alone ( and have ) if i can't jump with somebody that doesn't make me edgey at the exit point.

and JP we know some of the same people. and i've jumped with them. and i'm sure they'd say i was a nice guy. some would say i'm not very social and a little moody as well. but i don't go out of my way to hurt people or their feelings. so before you come on here making more statements. i do get along fine with them. some of them you've worked with.
