You have 2 weeks of vacation and a grand in cash. That sounds pretty awesome from where I'm sitting. Go to Vegas and get ahold of some hookers and blow. You will forget all about learning how to skydive. BASE 1384

Go pro's offer good POV footage and creative angle options. But outside video still looks way better with a real camera, for many reasons. I like having both, best of both worlds! BASE 1384

I agree, looks to me like it is working "as advertised". I see no need for the OP to grind an ax over it. Matt What? The main disconnected before pulling the freebag to linestretch. How is that working "as advertised"? BASE 1384

I bet next time you will answer "no" to any question you get asked BASE 1384

Any particular reason you are asking?? BASE 1384

Uhhhh what? BASE 1384

That is pretty cool, you have any other pictures of that? OP: Paragear has those ratchet drive leverage devices on their riggers supplies page, but I can't access their website right now for some reason. BASE 1384

Im loosing count of all my friends who have been busted in the last 3 months! They did not get charged with a felony. However, rumor has it one was charged with jumping with a ginger, which has been known to be almost as bad. BASE 1384

Your right. This is safe. Swooping is dangerous. BASE 1384

Buncha gays. Go splurge and get something awesome. You only live once! BASE 1384

Glad your safe Kelly, and thanks for posting. To all you beginner skydivers getting comfortable with how easy skydiving is, remember how fast it goes wrong when it does. And it will someday! I am just happy your arms were strong enough to push the record button, and for that we thank you! So did you find the freebag? BASE 1384

From one new grad to another: congrats. Guess I need to find a real job now. BASE 1384

Cool story bro. BASE 1384

Congrats dude! You better order a liquid sky suit too if you want to fit in with us next year :) (bet this is the first time you have wished for a short winter, mr. Ski bum) BASE 1384

My ode to Saucer Boy BASE 1384

Nice picture! Here is my trying out my new go pro and foot mount BASE 1384

Does this mean PC finally won? BASE 1384

Dale was my friend and former roomate. He was a "born again christian". We sort of lost touch after we all moved away, and he got really into his church. However, whenever we would see each other on campus we would always talk. Regardless of everyones opinion about the story, Dale was one of the nicest people I ever knew, and I am gonna miss seeing him around. He was set to graduate with me this December. BASE 1384

You could always just say you have x amount of parachute landings. I agree with many of the up posters though. People with a lot of base jumps but limited skydives are just not that good at skydiving. Yes, they are way above average in knowing and understanding their gear, and generally very good at reading winds and accurate landings. But having a bunch of base jumps won't help your freefly skills! Quick aside, I have a friend with almost 600 base jumps and less than 50 skydives. If he told you he had 650 jumps, you would probably expect him to be a pretty good skydiver. Which obviously wouldn't exactly be the case. BASE 1384

Maybe you could have just posted to this thread : http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1182848;search_string=post%20your%20icon;#1182848 But I have to say that rig looked great as it went blasting through the formation on Sunday. Keep up the good work! BASE 1384

I used to. Now I avoid them ALL, even solitaire. I just can't waste that much time anymore. +1 Finally erased Words With Friends after a couple solid weeks of ignoring all of my professors. Best thing I ever did. BASE 1384

That is one intense video! BASE 1384

That looks like a Chris Farley bit BASE 1384
