Don't repack it, bring it, and if you let me put some jumps on it while we are down there I will pack it all weekend for you ;) Saves you packing time/money and it saves me from having to bring a skyrig and a base rig on the same trip.

Where is the category for "Killed by falling base jumper/skydiver"? From the increasing amount of internet chatter i thought for sure that would be a big killer this year.

No no no. After several talks with him today I have realized it was juts a mistake. He's young and enthusiastic and didnt really think about the situation. It has since been removed in good faith. The reason i posted was to get others opinions and insight. I didnt know if I was maybe over reacting.

You both raise a good point. The video originally had copy written music in it. This was one of the reasons I didnt want it on YouTube. I made the video for the contest and for my friends. I had zero intentions of putting it on Youtube or selling it or anything like that. In other words, i had zero intentions of redistributing it.

Trying to determine if I should be upset about something. A friend recently emailed me a link for a YT video he thought looked a lot like one of my video. So it checked it out and come to find out someone took the video I made for the Bridge Day Videofest contest this year (and won), shortened it, removed the audio, and used new music. They then put it up on their youtube profile. No description, no photocred, nothing. Immediately I was pretty upset. I worked over 40 hours on this video to make it just perfect. Also, if I wanted it on YT I would have put it there myself but I didnt want it there for numerous reasons. I messaged the guy and told him to take it down. He replied that a mutual friend gave him the video and he was just practicing editing. However the video is still online. I am mad for several reasons: 1) It wasnt his to put on YT 2) No photocredit was given 3) It wasnt his to remake 4) I wasnt the only videogrpaher, and while I had permission to use others footage for an agreed upon purpose, he did not 5) It makes my work look shitty This really pisses me off. This is specifically why I made several different versions of the video. Only the people at BD saw the ORIGINAL version. I made several changes before I shared it with other because I was worried this would happen. People bitched and moaned and groaned about those changes too because i took out some of the best stuff. Well here we are today. I guess in the future my videos are going to have to have a giant watermark across the whole screen. What would you do?

If anyone tries this recovery method please let me know. I'd love to see my POV of my low pull at NRG this year "If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero

+1 I don't know why anyone would be OPPOSED to something like the 'before and after' pic I attached. I actually prefer a C or smaller, but I'm not opposed to any type of augmentation if women so chose. Because people love to tell other people what they should and shouldnt do to their body.

Ahahahahaha. That's probably the funniest and dumbest thing you could ever say to a BASE jumper. "If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero

Definitely in person. Good times

I frequently fly with rigs, either skydiving or base. I always put then in a carryon with wheels. Every time I fly with the skyrig it gets swabbed for explosives. Not once when flying with a BASE rig have they ever swabbed them...and one of those containers has skulls embroidered on it. One time when flying out of Huntington, WV when i placed the bag with my base rig on the belt and told security it was a parachute the answer i got was "Ah man...that aint the kind with the computer in it is it?" Obviously the guy had ran across rigs with AAD's and didnt feel like dealing with them. Another time there were two of us flying out of SLC with base rigs. TSA had no prob with the rigs, no prob with the helmets, no prob with the camera gear, but they were PISSED about the metal packing claps my friend tried to carry on. (My clamps were packed in my checked bag as I typically try and play it safe with TSA.)

I thought it was pretty neat, i watched it last night with my gf. Her: Uh oh, the skydiver is going to lose, he cant get the canopy down that fast. Me: No, he's got it in the bag. Her: They just said he is at 1000 feet though and the truck is almost at the finish line. Me: Yeah that's 5 seconds for the skydiver. Her: Huh? How? Me: He's gonna busy out a 720 swoop. Her: How do you know? Me: Because the inplane footage shows a Xaos patch on his arm "If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero

Really? How exactly did they wreck it by jumping off it. Do you even know the X in question or what was done to it? There were many sides to this story. Some of the locals claim it was local guides that cut the trees. At any rate this has been argued over and over quite a while ago. If you were really that upset about it you would have been involved in the original conversation.

It's probably worth mentioning the guy making this movie also made Adrenaline Rush, so I have pretty high hopes. I think its funny people think its going to suck just because the Red Bull guys are in it. Those guys are pretty amazing athletes and they are living the dream. I dont remember anyone dissing Team FX when they did Adrenaline Rush.

Is this the same office you had the issue with last time or a new one? "If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero

I must have misunderstood what you were saying John. I thought you were saying there is no point in going after it and he should be lucky he didnt get fucked harder. Now I see what you are saying. Fortunately I actually got my $3k from the client last night. I literally called his cell between 40-50 times in a row (just kept hitting redial) and eventually he picked up. After threatening to sue him personally and his company for the balance owed as well as damages as well as report him to the FCC and FTC he made a direct deposit into the company's bank account.

Damn...how on earth am I supposed to have rough sex now? I am sure I'm gonna end up thinking about this and crack up laughing, and for some reason women dont like it when you start laughing uncontrollably during sex "If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero

Happens all the time with BASE. The authorities "know" it's wrong, they just dont know what to charge you with except some misdemeanor slap on the wrist. This combined with the fact the media almost always states the sport is illegal does not help the situation. Some friends of mine were busted in another state, and the cop literally told them "I've got the judge calling me back to tell me what to do with you boys as soon as he figures out what to charge you with."

That's exactly the issue. It is always the unreasoning and unreasonable loud screams of the few that drown out the many that are willing to discuss it rationally or just dont care. Extremists, warmongers, shit stirrers, trolls, they are all the same, and it doesnt matter what side they are on either as EVERY side in every argument has them. Unfortunately the squeaky wheel tends to get the oil and in many countries right now the uproar created by these small groups is impacting policy for everyone.

Oh yeah? Have you also resolved the issue with taking another jumpers money recently for a PD113 and then ignoring all of his attempts to get in touch with you? Because as of Friday this jumper still has not heard from you and you have had his money for a month now.

That is no way to operate a business, and anyone who operates a business that way won't be operating for very long. Just because someone is a skydiver doesnt make them a nice person and doesnt mean they wont fuck you. I currently have a client trying to stiff me on $3k. Even without that money, i still profited on the project. So should I just say Oh well, i should be lucky i made any money on the deal? Fuck that, we had a agreement and it will be upheld as should all agreements in business.

Ah, my mistake, thanks for the clarification. Our judicial system is a joke, especially when it comes to BASE. "If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero
