  1. on BASEjumper.com 36 BASE jumper say conduct BD 50 BASE jumper say do not conduct BD Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
  2. Its interesting to see that skydivers dont support this, while BASE jumpers do.... looking at current polls anyway.. Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
  3. NickDG has posed the argument about playing "our trump card." That is we say, "No El Cap – No Bridge Day." He also says: ============= *** What hasn't been mentioned is that many of the jumpers at Bridge Day are first timers or skydivers making Bridge Day jumps. They are not REAL BASE jumpers who jump more then 1 day a year. They could care less about getting any other sites legalized. They get one opportunity a year and they are going to jump when they get it. A "no show" will not happen for that simple fact. I agree in the sense that there will never be a total no show unless BD is canceled, but there can be a significant number of no shows... *** I think a smaller, but still moderately effective statement could be made if we all wore tee shirts with a "Let us jump in other National Parks Too" message - with a memorized speech every one of us would say to every press person and every spectator whenever they asked us any question. This is another great idea *** On boycotting bridge day, I think the better course of action would be to send reps in to talk to the local businesses about our agenda and possible effects. Hurting their business isn't the best way to get them on our side. An ultimatum to the NPS would be more effective if the jumpers and town were on the same page before any of the "boycott" threats began. The town and locals would be putting pressure on the NPS before the jumpers even opened their mouths. I think this more grassroots approach leaves better "outs" and has a better chance for success than one climactic stand. In addition, there's no need for this method to be limited to one year . . . it could be carried out over many years in succession. Just think, local businesses increasing their worry each addition year that NPS doesn't allow BASE in parks and increasing their pressure---all without base jumpers publicly saying a word. We stay the good guys and oppressed; not some group of crazed misguided freedom fighters. What I see ar a bunch of great ideas brewing, and know that not just one tactic will accomplish the tash at hand. It will take many people, and ideas, supporting one unified goal of leagalizing jumping in National Parks. I think Jason Bell posted a PDF file of NPS Discriminations against BASE jumpers... Maybe he could chime in? I believe that no one (including me) wants to hurt any one, be it Jason or the towns-people, so I'd like to get Jason's Perspective on how best to address this so as to not hurt him or the town at large... leroyDB Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...

  7. I after watching numerous skydivers flop all over the place in the tunnel I was scared that I would also be "flopping." I guess with a mere 700+ jumps, watching 4 skydivers, and after 30 sec of playing, I was able to do pretty good. I think anyway. was able to find and stay in the center, do 90's, 180's, 1 360, a couple front flips and pop up a good 10-15 feet... but that built in right turn was a Bitch until you figured it out... So really, It was tricky to figure out at first, but is that tunnel all that hard to fly in? Le RoyDB Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...

    flyby

    Yesterday we had an awards ceremony for some of the people in our unit. During the ceremonythere were multiple low level (300-500ft?) flybys, I believe by f-16's? or something close.... Needless to say it was a very special day of recognition for them. Much respect to the people who defend. Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
