pBASEtobe 0 #1 October 18, 2005 I just had to share these jumps. I thought they were reallly cool and I wanted to thank those that made them possible. Jump#1: I got onto Collin's back with my right arm around him. He had my PC in his right hand and I had his PC in my left. We jumped, took about a 1.5sec delay, Collin pitched my PC and I PCA'd him. It was great. Jump#2: Collin had to work the exit point so he couldn't participate in this one (bummer). Tom A. found a guy named Mark (forgot his last name...crap...Mark was his first name wasn't it...?) So I get on Mark's back just like I did with Collin. Mark has my PC, I have his, Tom side floats. We go and Mark pitches my PC over to Tom, Tom catches my PC and holds onto it for about a second before he pitches his own PC and proceeds to PCA me and I PCA Mark. It went pretty well except for the fact that Mark and I went a bit head down. Damn me and freeflying while BASE jumping! I ended up with 5 line twists and only got out of them in time to do a 90 right to miss the huge boulder I was about to land on. Ok, so I had a bit more time than that but not much. Appearently many people didn't know the plan was for Tom to catch my PC. They thought he did it just to screw with me and Mark. Could you imagine if that was the case? So, thanks to the three of you guys. I had two great jumps I'll never forget! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lifewithoutanet 0 #3 October 18, 2005 Those jumps were fcuking awesome, man. Thanks for coming up with the idea. Really wish I'd been in on the second one. Maybe next year we'll work on the 5-way variation we originally planned. Glad you got out of those line twists on the second one. You should have heard all the people up on the bridge screaming "Kick out of it!" I mean, what part of the wheelchair don't they understand? -C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RhondaLea 4 #8 October 18, 2005 QuoteA person can't be a Nugget . . . . . . Can they? NickD BASE 194 Well... "Nugget" is defined as "a solid lump of a precious metal (especially gold)." And a "golden nugget" is taken to mean, figuratively, "that which is precious." Further, an informal synonym for "nugget" is "hunk." (I did say, did I not, how handsome he is? Especially his eyes.) I can play with words all night, Nick. You know that. So now that I've probably embarrassed him so much that he'll never speak to me again... ...you tell me. rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.
