I'm calling them being tied together, which he released and then pulled from. ------ Two of the three voices in my head agree with you.

PhreeZone 20 #7 September 10, 2006 Bridge Day '04. Red Bull team, Miles is the one that goes into the tree. Its old news in the BASE fourm. Stunt was to TARD to a bungie teather, chop, go to the end up the line then chop form it and deploy the second canopy. Their Second attempt was much better.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #11 September 11, 2006 QuoteI love it when skydivers call other people dumb for taking needless risks. It's OK...........I personally feel ALL BASE jumping is pretty stupid. That's just my personal feeling though. I do stuff that MOST people would think are stupid all the time. Like going to work every day. Since Erk mentioned a "second attempt" I'm guessing the guy made it through the tree OK? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikki_ZH 0 #12 September 11, 2006 This is a funny thread for BASE jumpers... You can compare it to any Skydiving discusion you have with Whuffos... :-)Michi (#1068) hsbc/gba/sba www.swissbaseassociation.ch www.michibase.ch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I fully admit, I think you people are NUTS and I have no desire to BASE jump. In the words of Tom Aiello.........."This shit is dangerous and I don't recommend anyone try it." As he was finishing packing his PC for a 119Ft (IIRC) building jump. Thanks though..........I do have fun watching the video! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can compare it to any Skydiving discusion you have with Whuffos... :-) -------------------- This is true, but the problem is 99% of the rest of the people who see this ARE Whoffos. For the most part, a BASE jumper and a skydiver are the same and in their minds. Thus giving EVERYONE who puts a rig on their back bad press. Very similar to some guy doing something with not much room for error on a motorcycle, it gives ALL motorcycle riders bad press. Who needs it????

Yeah........there was little margin for error but I don't think the guy would have effected anyone else if he screwed up besides the EMT's that would have to come recover his broken ass. I thought it was cool as shit. Just Nuckin Futs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
