  1. I jumped a small helicopter with next to nothing airspeed from about 1000-1100 feet with a freepacked StratoFlyer; took a couple of seconds freefall to enjoy the proximity of the treetops and still had a decently long canopy ride. The problem with lower jumps requiring extreme accuracy is lack of canopy time to set up your landing.

  2. I had plans to do that once, with a buddy; we were going to strap two lawn chairs together. We instead discovered some formations nearby (towers) that could be climbed and offered a free fall opportunity and went that way instead. BASE took off and we never got back to our lawn chair jump. I know, just another lawn chair whuffo.

    Crap. And all I have is the memory of a photo (never got a copy, and the one guy I know who had one had it stolen). And I'm way past the age of doing another one :)

    Memories are the best possessions, and notice the BASCR card is sexist anyway...
