ifics 0 #1 December 30, 2003 I am usually flippin through the channels after work with meh beer and praying there will be some sort of BASE or skydiving going on. The only time I ever catch either of the two is on "You gotta see this" or some show like that. I do see shows on ESPN that say "EXTREME SPORTS" or "EVOLUTION OF EXTREME SPORTS" and its always snowboarding or skating or something. I guess those are more popular then skydiving or BASE but how in the hell could you have the word EXTREME in the title and not show at least some. I guess its not really considered a sport, so if the title says "EXTREME THINGS TO DO" I will be sure to watch. Just a random vent, but there should be more BASE and skydiving on TV!!

EdC 0 #2 December 30, 2003 I'm with you. My directv has a scout that searches titles and descriptions for the following words: skydive, skydiving and parachute. I just look at the guide and it tells me when something is going to be on that is worth watching. Big Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoshi 0 #3 December 30, 2003 amen to that... I can only get so much of dean kain (sp?) and amahd rashad talking about how every single jump is a feat of death that was meraculisly (sp again?) overcome by some stoke of luck getting a perfectly good main out there... who are these guys anyways.. get someone experienced in the sport to host a good show that can hold the attention of whuffo and skydiver/base minds alike!_________________________________________ this space for rent.

CrazyIvan 0 #4 December 30, 2003 Lately, the word EXTREME is being overused, I mean, check the shows on TV: History channel: EXTREME History and other shows include phrases such as EXTREME dating, EXTREME surgery, EXTREME this, EXTREME that...unreal. __________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you.
