Team Old and Brittle is about to make a BASE jump. Somebody help push my wheelchair!

Hey there, when Nikolas died, I became president of old and brittle. I mean, how many 40 plus year old BASE'rs are there out there? If you're a BASER over 40, lemme know what you're joints sound like when you squat to launch a rocket!

I used to be pretty sneaky but now the clicking and popping sets off the alarm systems wherever I try.

Gotta stick to the legal ones now. Especially the ones that have a drive-in approach!

Right on Johnny! Damn, you're 65? You don't look it, brother.

The average age for Bridge Day jumpers for the last two years was 36. There are plenty of "senior" BASE jumpers out there.

Jim Guyer is 75. Ripcord man (James P.) is 74, I believe. There are several jumpers in their 60's. My hat goes off to all of them......I hope I'm still jumping off "stuff" after I get my AARP card.

You guys are funny.... Team Old and Brittle! Is that for real?

Ripcord is cool as hell - I only hope to have the energy of that crazy Hellfish when I'm his age. By the way, his son made his first base jump at this year's BD. That was sweet to watch father/son jump.

Ha ha... edited to add.. btw.. his son's name is Pullout!
