mac266 0 #10 June 2, 2003 QuoteLike Carl B said..."the whole world is jumpable" so there is no point in rushing and trying to jump everything - take your time and be safe! QuoteMac Congrats on completing the "word"!!! Thanks Got my number confirmed by Joy today (phoned her as i was way to curious!) Respect and admiration to each and everyone of the 812 before me! (and the ones to follow after) and to re quote skins post QuoteHaving a fight and saying "semper fi" doesn't make you a marine. Likewise, jumping cliffs in Norway or pitching from a legal bridge in western USA in isolation doesn't make you a BASE jumper. BASE has already been defined. To be a BASE jumper you must have jumped the 4 qualifying objects. I feel sure Carl would see this as a non-negotiable point. The number puts you in an elite club. It identifies your membership and signifies your commitment to the sport by showing a respect for the jumpers who have achieved the same goal before you. It carries on a tradition that is still in it's infancy but will have increased significance among it's members with time. Just because you accept your number with pride doesn't mean you were jumping just for that one purpose. If that's the case, so what? You got where you wanted to be. Athletes don't compete in the Olympics for a piece of metal on a ribbon. That medal signifies the achievement of being the best, fastest, strongest etc. For those who don't want a number, that's fine. I understand some of their reasons. To each his own. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You done good. Welcome to the hallowed halls, brother 802. Skin, proudly BASE 727 there is something proud in gaining the number! i aint affraid to say............. it made my day! (cause its still too fucking windy to jump!)

Therefore, we don't need to follow the silly traditions they do in that *other* sport... As BASE jumpers we buy beer because we feel like drinking it. Congrats on yer object. Keep 'em comin'.
