That is so cool that someone else knocked the needle off that way, I did it on my first Alti, Had it for about 2 hours. anybody else? I was feeling like I was the only one in the world that had done this. take care, space

Thats my nickname, trace, space, and spacetracy, Glad to know this I fully agree ;-) take care, spacetrace

Yo A, Please don´t let this silly stuff interfere with our friendship. take care, space

I stand corrected. thanks, take care space

Yo, So searching for sites is illegal? take care space

Hi Tom. I called no one stupid. #689 volunteered it. To everyone, press crtl+f,enter stupid, and enter and see who wrote this word. wazzunt me! take care, space

OK, I'll bite : This wasn't even a BASE jump it was an ultralow hop n pop over a beach full of people in Cape Town that annoyed the locals. space:It was over the sea, low pull, land on a boat. A) Did Felix get permission from the South African aviation authorities for this demo?space: Yes, but.space:.They did not give him permission to land on the beach so he landed offshore on a boat. B) If something had gone wrong on this jump innocent people on the beach could've been hurt. This would not have been a victimless crime. space:You are absolutely correct, Actually, Felix and I figurred out that if the ambassador to Pakistan was there and Felix took him out that this could have very easily started WWIII!!!! Get a life. Then he pulled a similar stunt in the Netherlands only this time it was over an outdoor concert. Same as above : A) Was permission received from the Dutch aviation authorities for this demo? space:Yes, it was. Signed by the big man! B) What if something had gone wrong with that crowd beneath? space:Same as for all demos. Do you appreciate that both these stunts could cause problems for skydivers wanting to do demos in future? I'm glad you are posting here Space because perhaps you can clear these up for us. For these jumps to be a victimless crime surely there should be no possibility of any innocent victims getting hurt? space:There is always a possibility for innocents to get damaged. Demo in Germany took out 3 spectators, 4 dead. WTF are you trying to say? Felix killed no one and had clearance from the highest level. PS and yes I heard the story of the burnt B in Cape Town but since I don't know specifics I won't go into that. space:Lets go into that. There was no Burnt B in Cape town. No one had jumped this building before. How can one burn a virgin object? Take care space

Please don´t insult meeeee. There were no pretend police. deal with it. Or Pretend that they (Policia) love felix more than you. How many jumpers were burned as a result of Felix´s actions? Not How many ego´s were burned. take care and step over the ego please. space

Come on man, It´s a freakin joke you journalistic freak. take care, space

Hi Tree, Felix or Ich piss off no one. That is truly the choice of the whiner, whether to take offense or not, "selfish acts in the name of self promotion" Yep, I try to get him to see that promoting me is the way to go.....promote me before you. The Press has repeatedly misquoted Felix. is he a dork for this? or is the Press. Get a life. take care space QuoteI think we should send Felix to Atlanta. Heat up the tar! I've never met the guy, but he seems to constantly piss off jumpers with what can only be called selfish acts in the name of self promotion. Felix is not a base jumper, rather a paid promotional jumper for whom base ehtics clearly don't apply. I personlly think Felix is a punk considering what I've read of him. Teach that punk some manners! Any of this might be OK if he did something even remotely groundbreaking, but he mostly does publically what others have quietly done years before and then proclaims himself SKYGOD! Give an example. exactly stating what you surmise. challenge... take care , space

Yo Tree, Nice to see you kickin. Never joke to the press. it will follow you around like a darkshadow. Felix seemed to be annoyed that the press did not publish his other joke proclimation of "I want to be pasted on the 500 Euro note". It is and was only a joke that haunts him... "I watched him strap on his harness and helmet, climb into the cockpit and, minutes later, a black dot falls off the wing two thousand feet above our field. At almost the same instant, a while streak behind him flowered out into the delicate wavering muslin of a parachute -- a few gossamer yards grasping onto air and suspending below them, with invisible threads, a human life, and man who by stitches, cloth, and cord, had made himself a god of the sky for those immortal moments. " --Charles Lindbergh take care and all thats not allowed, space

JV could give him a good run for his money. Funky funky, John was my student also......

Do you really think I am insulting your intelligence? One of my students just recovered one of your locals parachute from a cliff... who is in power here? Heli rescue.. It was not Felix, It was an unprepared jumper. hahaha. attack me, better we PM. later. cya. take care, space..

Hi #689, Ø Felix has not burned anything for some years What what what what what?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? a. You took my statement out of context. · BASE 689 snipped “Felix has not burned anything for some years”. · Space posted “AFAIK, Felix has not burned anything for some years”. · “AFAIK” means “As Far As I Know”. · “As Far As I Know, Felix has not burned anything for some years,” was my statement. · In no way is this a factual statement. Sorry if it was not clear. b. What do you mean by “burn”? · Old School definition; to jump an object in a way that restricts others from accessing/jumping it the same way that they had been jumping it before. · The criteria needs; a. a regularly jumped object b. Jumpers that can not jump it as before, i.e. new security measures as a direct result of the burner´s action(s). c. A definite time period when the new measures took effect, effecting the object´s other jumpers. c. Things that have no bearing on the matter; · High or low profile. High Profile objects are normally non burnable as security or danger is very high. · Publicity. 3 Jumpers jumped “Torre del Plaza” in an Italian town, they were heroes when it was publicized. They were not considered to be burning. · What the media says. Check out this link http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=695253;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread Ummmm….why is the identifier “Real” in “Real TV” used? As opposed to what? Fake TV. d. Television is for entertainment. Never ask it for facts, only ask it to entertain you. One must search for facts themselves. · Felix has spoken to me about the incident you speak of. There were no Pretending Police, He was busted and used his last publicized jump as a “get out of jail free” card. · You wrote; “Such a high profile object put on TV? Under the eyes of millions of Italian people? How do you call this if not "blatantly burning objects"? · My answer is that this was “blatantly allowing publicizing of the jumping of an object”. If this is a crime, then Felix must pay. If he actually burned it, What are the access changes and are the jumpers (if any), that had been jumping it, affected? · You wrote; “Perhaps Kinaa is not capable to tell you the date“, Ø Exactly. I think he is just playing the follower, So now is the Dilemma. How is Felix to jump within the community if no one will cooperate with him? Let me know #689. Hopefully in Nov I will visit, Take care, space

It´s possible that he found something, more research is needed as Croatia is a quite large country and there are more BASEable sites than we first thought and also BASE jumpers who seemed to have jumped every site that we scoped AFAIK, Felix has not burned anything for some years, Maybe you could post the date of his last burn to put your statement in perspective, Surely you don´t mean he burnt the English Channel Take care, space

Yo, I was with Felix on this scouting trip and Felix is only looking to open up some sites that are as yet unjumped. But I agree it would have been funny if it was he that hung on a crane take care, space

So who shall one promote, you? Why should one promote anything... maybe to promote one´s self? have fun.. take care, space Long live the KING

For anyone who reads German... I´m not trying to sell anything, sooooo.... if one is really interested, there are actual websites that translate websites that one can use.. have fun, take care, space

[http://www.rocket-jump.com] It´s not very good fotos but the tech details are there. I was there for the motocycle jump from 18 meters and developed a harness system interlock/release for the jump. take care, space

Never, this has never happened to me! hehehe! You are alone on this one dude. HahahahahHa!

Do me a favor and don't try that when I'm around, mmkay
