Hey Mike! It was nice meeting you at BD this year. Hey, that website you gave me, www.berkama.com isn't working. Did i write it down wrong? or is it down like you said it is a lot. Coco

The wait to jump did seamed a little long this year though. I only got two jumps. I got two last year even with the storm. But it did kick ass! Did four second delays on both jumps and did my first gainer on my second jump! Was freakin sweet!

I'll be there too!

Thanks bro!

I’m gonna have to agree with Jaap and Nick on this one. I would definitely stay with my fellow jumper and ride it out. If it were a close friend or even someone new, it would never cross my mind to up and leave them behind regardless of degree of injury. Even if they wanted me to avoid the legal trouble in a pre base discussion, it would make me feel terrible to just leave them behind. I’ve formed some pretty close bonds in skydiving and one in particular even more so though our starting BASE together. I look at our community as an extended family so how could I leave a family member behind. If it were someone I was not very familiar with, I would think it would be common sense to have a pre jump discussion on contact info for just in case times and experience level. I got some jumps with two experience jumpers a few months ago and one thing they did was to have my “just in case” number be the last one I dial on my cell so they could easily get in touch with someone if something went bad by just hitting redial. Now here is an addition that might at least alleviate some legal trouble for someone that stays behind. If possible I would at least try and get my gear in the car, given to someone that leaves (if in big group) or stashed somewhere and say I was just a bystander or watching the jump. If a jumper needed CPR or something obviously I would say screw it and attend to their needs but if possible I would do that.

What about the other hotels? I'm at the quality Inn.

Hey Jaap, Nice to have you back! Awesome resource. Dental floss, that never crossed my mind. Coco

I have Alltel and I had a good signal. Didn’t try it though because WV is out my plan area.

Pm'ed thanks bro!

I am trying to find the method to madness song on the triax01.wmv video. I PM'ed pope but it is driving me crazy because I can't find it. Any help? Who is it by?

He had a website all about him and the things he has done but it no longer comes up one any searches. Anyone know where that page went? D

Wow, that looks nice! “Sarcastically said” Glad your ok bro!

Yea yea yea! That was a nice object!

I took that picture!

How many people are usually invited to that event? 3 days of jumping right?

You have to be invited to the event right? Its not like Brige day??

Now he is a real Jackass! http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/steveocorolla.html

Oh, My bad. I'm at work and its been a long day. Yea thats a Warlock though. I rented from Apex last year.

No, I have a DP, its a pin rig.

Thanks Tree! Well you know what’s really funny! I made the best and worst lists at BD last year for my first two BASE jumps. My first jump I jumped to far out (took a couple steps) and went HD but recovered pretty well, so I have experienced instability big time (you can see the jump on the triax boogie video at the beginning of carnage section on the bottom right I believe) Then I made two “best of” photo’s in vertical visions stock pictures on my second jump. Here is my second jump – 12 pics - http://www.vertical-visions.com/gallery/BD2004/0006-2402/BD04_0369.html But this year I’m just hoping for best of pictures!

Yea I know that too but it is actually due to the belief that it captures your soul. I thought it was Hinduism but not sure.

Does anyone know what people or religion hold the belief that a picture captures a part of a person soul and that they do not engage in take pictures because of it. Thanks D

Nice! Yeah, I’d say I’m a decent free flyer but I have no dive training. Only a little gymnastics but it was years ago. I'm gonna get to the rec center a few times and use the 1 meter board and hopefully a local gymnastics gym (hoping for a trampoline and harness deal) and if I feel comfortable I might throw a gainer at BD. I'm hoping to get at least 2-3 more jumps before BD too (that is if I beg my pops enough to ground crew for me again or if my buddy feels like climbing How bout it Josh!!). I jumped an A from the 900 platform Tuesday so if I get a few more at that height, that will make me much more comfortable (than I am right now) with that delay and sub terminal freefall. We’ll see!! And thanks again everyone for your help on Slider up packing. I did my first slider up Tuesday with just indirect control and it work fine. Not worried about it any more. L8er Coco
