  3. Are all of these people suspects or just confirmed jumpers? what about the rest of the crew from the protest jump? And Jan Davis is no longer a suspect. RIP. Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174
  4. Who got hurt? Marty T. ? Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174
  5. And you know one cannot count on being released scott free every time. It seems the U.S. is becoming more of a police state. Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174
  6. I was near the Mexican border last spring. It was for a jump that got cancelled due to inclement weather. I was shocked as to how draconian our border control had become. It felt like what I would envision check point charly would have been. The idea of visiting any sites near the Mexican border on the US side seems to be out of the question now. I've included a statement from the news regarding Bush's intention of using unmanned drone aircraft to patrol our border in addition to the more than 10 fold increase of general border control that has occurred in the last 3 years, without affecting the flow of immigrants seeking work in the U.S. Perhaps my rant should be in the bonfire forum. EL PASO, Texas (Reuters) - President George W. Bush promised the use of unmanned flying drones on Tuesday to help patrol the porous U.S.-Mexican border as Democrats charged he had not done enough to provide border security. Wrapping up a two-day swing to promote his plans to overhaul U.S. immigration laws, Bush rode in a black sport utility vehicle along a bumpy dirt road on the American bank of the Rio Grande. On one side he could see over the dry riverbed to Ciudad Juarez and on the other El Paso's skyline. His motorcade traveled along an electrified chain link fence with tactical lighting and topped with barbed-wire skirts. Along the route, he saw armed Border Patrol guards in green uniforms in vehicles or on horseback. More than 1,300 of them police "the line" as they call the 266 miles of border in the El Paso sector.

  7. i have broken my tailbone before. it was by far the most painful injury i have encountered, even more than shattering my femur (that one sucked more just by sheer duration, but not by pain) or breaking the ball off my ankle. in fact, when i broke it, i was momentarily paralyzed from the waste down. i'm glad i damaged the nerves the next day (to reduce the pain) when i drove 600 miles without painkillers or a doughnut seat.

  8. You all have convinced me... I'm going to convince everyone it's only for the athlete with an extreme death wish. At least, hopefull it'll slow the rate of entry of more people wanting to come to the local objects. Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174
  9. that was me. Sorry. Pardon me! Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174
  10. "World Champion" skydiver Cheryl Stearns (still alive) had the same opinion at the edge of very tall cliff, refused instruction, and exited very very poorly, nearly resulting in a potentially fatal accident. Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174
  11. did you ever see Mel Brook's movie where he plays Moses coming down from the mountains and presents the stone tablets in his hands? He announces in a bold deep resonant voice "I present to you these 15, (crash one of the tablets falls from his arms), these 10 commandments!"

  13. Get your risers next time, not your toggles when in imminent danger of a wall strike, especially with so much available altitude. wall strikes are notorious for fatal or extremely severe injuries, or may result in bad damage to your canopy which can kill or injure yourself on the landing zone or nonzone. i think i have a run-on sentence or two, but the thought has been expressed nonetheless. by the way, i'm glad you pulled it off and that you're still here and not on the list!

  14. How about submitting an Op/Ed piece to a large newspaper? Anyone, anyone... Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174
  15. did you see the commercial where the guy is interviewing? his potential boss is named Mr. Dumas, and the interviewee goes on and on saying Mr. Dumbass, and eventually the interviewer speaks and says "It's pronounced doom-us."

  18. it feels like walking on the moon. you also get the same feeling from eating california condors or panda. Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174
  19. I gather such massive funding would have to deal with some sort of civil engineering project, such as extremely heavy bubbling over a large body of water to dramatically lower the surface tension of the water, similar to what hot dog skiers do for training, but with theirs on a much smaller scale.

  20. So what is the part of the Jeb's proposed landing gear development that is so unusual that it would require millions of dollars to prototype and develop? Chris Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174

    you know, by definition, to be called a base jumper, one must actually make a base jump. Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174

  23. Hey, that quote was invented by my old friend John Owens at the top of a 300 foot cliff about 20 years ago. I flat pro pack without the use of clamps. They are a burden. I chose not to pack in gale force winds. Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174
