as always B2 you are very eloquent in how you speak/type. ~chachi

ok, i was trying not to point fingers, next time i will be insensitive. i guess you can't always please everybody. ~chachi

yes you could, would you rather i had put your name next to the comment? ~Chachi

just a light hearted observation is all that was made and it turned into what an ass theread that had to have posts removed, i am just wondering how most feel about having a little fun at the expense of a stunt or two.

he is going to live and make a total recovery?

so true... ~chachi

huh? i was looking for other opinions, nobody pointed fingers. ~chachi

i totally agree, some of the comments after this were, "Just to clarify so there won't be any other such insensitive posts, there is no sheet metal involved at all, it's a concrete building, and it was not his whole body that hit, it was below the knees. Does that help you stop laughing? " "Not cool" you know, learn to take a joke is all i have to say. chachi

well after reading the thread titled Man vs. Wall my buddy said all he could picture was a human sized dent in the tin like Wile Coyote and got flame fested. i thought what a joke personally. ~chachi

are we allowed to SLIGHTLY laugh / tease skydivers that try stupid things and just don't quite make it? as in minor injuries. i was prompted to ask this becuase of a thread in the incident forum where someone hit a wall trying to land on a roof and got injured but is totally fine. to me, if you try and fail, i get to laugh a little. please read the warning below. ~chachi This is in no way intended to make fun of those that pass on, total respect and eternal blue slies to those family members.

blatant advertising in the forums .... shame shame double shame Quade, lol ....

I found this so funny hahahahaha

And...... ~R+R Oh, the possibilities... My ideas should really only be PM'd, I don't want to get some time off the Bonfire.... ~Chachi I wanna know...... ~R+R Is it illegal? First I must ask, are you flexible and open to new ideas? Just PM me the answer .... ~Chachi

And...... ~R+R Oh, the possibilities... My ideas should really only be PM'd, I don't want to get some time off the Bonfire.... ~Chachi

well get off the internet and go out and do sonething....make the rest of us jealous for having to sit in an office and post on dz.com to keep from getting so bored we shoot ourselves. or stay in and .... ~Chachi

please wash behind the ears before you flick any objects then ohh and Tom usaly rember stuff I Pm'd Tom and told him this comment was not meant for him, It was meant for the people going all Nazi on this guy for having an idea. That's all. Also, if someone chooses to remember me for a small comment, I guess it is there choice. I think I am far more than a one comment individual and because we disagree on this one thing does not mean that you wouldn't like or respect me in person, or agree with me on many other points. Or I wouldn't agree with you. Man, it is just a discussion on some boards not a life situation. ~Chachi

well Tom I can say that I am part of Camp 3. I am new to BASE as I have 10 jumps now and just bought my own shit. but the whole point JP, Lou, and others are trying to make is this. You want to be left alone doing your sport or objects which you feel you are entitled to use. This guy wants to run his little weekend huck people off the bridge thing and be left alone also. One has nothing to do with the other for sure. He is not teaching people to BASE and get into the sport. He is giving people a thrill ride. As for the people that say what would it do for the bridge and the community if he did kill someone? Well, from the looks of things absofuckinglutely nothing. Just like when BASE jumper kill themselves on that bridge. Nothing happens, except he would probably never do it again. So pull your head outta your ass and realize he is not trying to fit into your little slice of the world, he is carving his own way. He is not a representitive of the BASE community. ~chachi

good thing too, it made your ass look fat..... ~chachi

I in no way meant to flame, and arguing over the internet is like winning the special olympics. Just wanted to settle my points into the discussion, and answer your direct points to basically kill time at wotk. Hope no one took anything as a flame. ~rob

Well I guess we could nit pick this guy to death. The bottom line is there is risks in everything, but I think his are very manageable. We should discuss this, especially if we can be objective but straight up, its his ass more than ours. I just don't think he is being as reckless as some may think and if he has success at this good for him. I, like the rest of you hope nothing bad happens too. ~Chachi

Six Flags hmmm, not the answer i was looking for. you guys don't get it. we came up for a way for whuffos to know the "feeling" of a skydive (tandem) and a way to charge and make money from it. why are we surprised that someone came up with a way for people to get the "feeling" of a BASE jump? ~Chachi

im not sure i read it correct so im answering the way ithink you means it. If he dont know shit about BASE then he dont have a clue about hucking people off a S... If he wanted to He could use modern BASE gear... So you think putting these people under a FOX would be safer? How do you suggest they land it. Oki if thats a safe system then im not using unsafe gaer but ok thats me... I never said he was using safe BASE gear, but these people aren'tBASE jumping, they are getting hucked off a bridge under a round for a ride. so lying to people about the danger doing such a jump is ok i guess??? where has he lied? i would do if i lived there,but now i live in DK and a trip over there would cost me alot of mony..Pointe not all can do that... didn't mean you should specifically do it... Belive me he would have all the respect he could need if he did it the correct way... Again, do you know a better way to give non skydivers a BASE like ride safer? so you basickly ask us to wait until this guy hucks a student off that gets killed and then flame?? You dont think that saving 1 life or even an injury would be ok by this diskuss??? What he is doing has less risk than many commercial extreme experiences do. It seems abit odd that some skydivers defend a guy that makes some unsafe coaching to students...If you guys want to jump day wouldnt you then be happy that we dont allow people like that,so you hopefule gonna survive whith out injuryes if/when you start jumping... just thinking out loud here... So, what is a good way to give non skydivers a BASE like experience?

can i also teach people to skydive but in BASEgear?,becours i trust my BASE gear more than any skydive gear??? Or what about teaching SL students to fly a wingsuit soon as they get off the line??? hmm,perhaps jumping off somthing aint just to do the step..and this guy seems to not knowing shit about BASE,thats what we think is wrong,hopefuly you also does... Actually Faber, this guy may know shit about actual BASE jumping but it seems to me he has a clue about chucking people off into a river. I haven't actually seen evidence of him being unsafe. Bottom line, this is a fucking exhibition ride this guy is offering plain and simple. he is not offering to teach people to jump off antennas, or cliffs, he is throwing people into a lake with reliable systems. Is this the safest thing that people can do? probably not but probably alot safer than many other things in life. Oh, and everyone that keeps saying your bridge, stop it. It isn't your bridge, it is everyone that wants to use it. As long as they play by simple rules. Oh, and instead of pretending to be someone your not, have the balls to walk up and have a discussion with the guy and voice your concerns. If he is making a little money he may want to actually work with you guys. Why not just try and have respect for a guy and his little business. No one complains when other offer first jump instruction off this bridge, well, this guy is offering a one time thrill. As long as he isn't killing people laugh at his tanning salon/base jumping combo and move on. ~chachi

that's funny, but the first thing that would have come out of my mouth would have been " If I am right, do I get to see them?" hehehe..... ~Chachi

WOW! that's seriously progressing . your friend must be really talented in the canopy-department. you have got to be joking me, flat out, he's an idiot. it has nothin to do with how well you fly the canopy when everything is going fine. it is the experience that you need to have to just get bumped and bruised instead of broken femur, broken back, or just plain dead. you, my friend, thinking it is ok for someone with those kind of numbers jumping X brace with the little experience he had are plain wrong. what makes you guys think you are invincible with all the evidence of people breaking themselves? seriously. ~chachi
