    Hey dude. I might know you . I have been in Ar for 25 years, and BASE. I jump at Skydive Skyranch in Siloam Springs. PM me sometime, as we flick regularly up here. It might not be too bad a drive, unless you can find someone in your immediate area. 321CYA Sitflybaseboy BASE 1043 Night BASE 160 BASE is to skydivers as skydiving is to whuffos
  2. Damn dude you rock. The Arkansas Base crew is working on a similar project. 321CYA Sitflybaseboy BASE 1043 Night BASE 160 BASE is to skydivers as skydiving is to whuffos
  3. If you BASE, you better know how to land with rear risers, because its only a matter of when it will happen, not if it will happen. I have actually landed my canopy with no flare on toggles or risers, and a good PLF on a VERY dark night jump. I had toggles, but never saw the ground. Luckily it worked out ok and I was uninjured. Each jump can present a completely different problem. 321CYA L8TR Sitflybaseboy BASE 1043 Night BASE 160 BASE is to skydivers as skydiving is to whuffos

    Line Mod

    It is true that you would not loose a toggle on opening, but if you have a lineover you will have to land it. It might or might not work out landing a lineover. It becomes much more difficult to pick your landing area and get a safe landing. On this particular jump there is barely enough time to unstow , turn and land without vents,when everything works right. A lineover might put you in the trees, thorns ,or creek. My point is that even if you maintain your toggle, by packing through the guide ring and slider, you are still going to give up a little time identifying the problem and locating you toggle, which might still put you in the small trees. I vote for line mod on this particular jump,as there is DEFINITELY not enough time to use WLO release on this jump. So you can roll the dice on not getting a line over on this jump if you decide to pack through the rings/slider. The chance of line over is slim on this type of jump, but still a definite possibility. I just like the idea of being able to clear a mal, because if I were the person deciding to pack through the slider/ guide ring, I would be the one in ten thousand with the line over 321CYA Sitflybaseboy BASE 1043 Night BASE 160 BASE is to skydivers as skydiving is to whuffos
  5. Is it un acceptable to use these on tailgates as well? I am only using a double stow. BASE 1043 Night BASE 160 BASE is to skydivers as skydiving is to whuffos
  6. I have been needing a B for 20 years. Now that I hear the talk of the numbers getting close to 1000, I think it is time to seek a building. I have actually done some research and recon on a couple of B sites, and it could happen soon. This thread just gave me the extra "get off my assidness" I needed to get my B. Thanks for the thread Nick.
  7. Layton only knows how to work BMW made cameras. They won't function on an antenna on my house roof!! BASE 1043 Night BASE 160 BASE is to skydivers as skydiving is to whuffos
  8. Hey dude thanks for the input. I'll try a lower exit. Maybe I'll get a shot of him yet BASE 1043 Night BASE 160 BASE is to skydivers as skydiving is to whuffos
  9. Not shaking, it must be the point of exit on the tower. No digital, using an APS camera with regular film BASE 1043 Night BASE 160 BASE is to skydivers as skydiving is to whuffos
  10. Has anyone ever experienced blurriness when taking stills from an antenna. I have made 3 flicks from this FM antenna and all three times I have tried to photograph my partner leaving the A I get nothing but a big blurry picture. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. The pics I have taken on the climb up have turned out fine. It is just the exit pics that are blurry.
