  1. If any one has any info, it would be greatly appreciated. Take care, space
  2. I fail to see people dying seeking solo world records in skydiving and how this (the article) compares to regular Joe skydiving. Take care, space
  3. why not jump without? Is Youtube and Vimeo so important to die over? tcs
  4. Congrats to Alan Eustace!!! He broke 1 of the records of felix which is no small feat. Take care, space
  5. Similar to you, I have been recently (1 year ago) diagnosed with HFA on the ASD. I am 52yrs old. In my case, due to the criteria, I am not considered AS as I had and still have Language/speech problems. I started jumping when I was 23 yrs. I excel in rigging and instruction of BASE jumping. I struggle with sarcasm. Some one says they want to do something and i immediately go into a solution finder mode, Only to be told that it was a joke. Some people joke about impossibilities. To me, there are no impossibilities. The 100% focus has helped me in rigging and BASE jumping and has also screwed up relationships. The problem is that people dont always believe you when you tell them the parameters and that, if they exceed them that it will cost them their life. They exceed them and die exactly in the manner and place you told/showed them. Other than that, I think it makes me a more conscientious jumper. Take care, space (Gee, I wonder how he got that name)

    Ripstop

    Though I am anti (ripstop tape). I could see this being a part of canopy repairs in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W_VFhAgsDc Take care, space
  7. How to quit is my question. I have Major respect for those that can. I lack the ability. take care, space
  8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDO6HV6xTmI Though I am against the death penalty, I think if a government is going to do it, it should be public. Otherwise it is pointless. take care, space
  9. Pick any extreme sports maturations. One will see the same. Skydiving for instance. It has leveled off around 55 fatals per year. So maybe one would want to say that there are more skydivers. Maybe let's say some with less participants. Formula 1. Formula 1 has had more fatalites than modern wingsuiting over the history (I am not counting 2014 for either). What I am trying to show, is think of statistics as colors. Paint whatever picture you want. We all have our stats to back them up. @ stemartin72. 1_Why place the blame on the camera? The camera was just sitting there. The wind blew the bridle around the mount. I am just following your lack of finishing the equation. 2_We as viewers bear no responsibility. The individual jumpers themselves are responsible for themselves individually. That goes for everyone in a sane, mature state of mind. All extreme sports that I know of are against encouraging unexperienced or experienced participants to do crazy stunts. 3_I agree. take care, space
  10. You should have seen the uncut version. The sponsors forced them out of the aircraft at gunpoint. That is probably why they were feeling uncomfortable. Or also it could have been that the riders felt uncomfortable because they knew inadvertently that you would be jealous. Take care, space
  11. Sorry, I have to answer this with sarcasm. NO, No one has ever done that so that precludes your 2nd question making it obsolete.;-) Take care, space.
  12. Carol passed away in the 2nd week of this year. She was a long time friend of mine and many others. World champ at Women's Freestyle in Ampfing in 1995 with Deuces are Wild team. You are missed Carol. Take care, Tracy

  15. What is the problem? He made the police state angry. Retrospective he should have googled which countries imprisons the highest percent of the population there of. I moved away. Do something like this or your bitchin is futile. Take care, space
  16. . Why would youcare about Obama's health plan? You die and go to the heavens, same as 2 thousand other religions. I think you should apply John 3;17. We can take it offline when you wish, I am open to learn. But I am also open to to ass kicking on a public forum. Genesis chap 1 vs 26. Take care and keep on hot saucing, I will ripp you a new religionhole. Space

  18. Ahhhh, Thanks you and Turtlespeed. I thought it was one of those "ya gotta think about it abit". Kinda like when the sportscaster ask an athlete in Switzerland what he liked about the country. He replied, " the flag is a big plus". Take care, Tracy
  19. As far as history shows, that was the 216th anniversary of the first documented skydive. BASE jumpers got ya nailed by around 4000 years. OK, 3800 yrs. But we still share the same sky :-) take care, space BASE#283 Muhahahhaahha
