Hello, Whatever "u guys" think, if you feel wrong about something, don't do it. Make your mentor go down there and cut them himself. Then you could enjoy safer BASE jumps with a clear conscience. Remember, trees are a renewable resource. Mahalo & God bless you. Avery ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

Hello, Originally that was my bridge and I made the rule about no jumping from the top rail. When I gave the bridge to jt and Miles they were supposed to keep the rule. ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

Hello, This is not a new topic. I think "Tell me how you die, and I will tell you who you are" is complete crap. If I get any input on the matter, I will die in my sleep at 75 years of age. Will that at all define how I got there, ie: Avery was a layabout? Furthermore, though I do love BASE jumping, you can be sure that if I notice myself going in to death, I'll be cursing this rotten obsession all the way to the dirt. Honestly, I don't think we have any concept of what dead will be like. God knows. I recently heard an idea about death that I do like; "it sure does seem to eliminate a lot of options".

Hello, This is a dangerous place to ask questions, but you did ask, so it only seems decent that someone should give you some straight answers. The second question you asked was "what would we think if you jumped the skyflyer this weekend"? Well, quite frankly, I don't think most of us would be affected all that much by a decision you make about what suit to jump. Barbie and Ken are likely to urge you to use extreme caution, while Bonnie and Clyde might just say "go for it". The first question you asked is the question of substance. You asked "What am I waiting for"? That is quite complex. Perhaps you're waiting for me to make a decision for you. Perhaps you would like my decision to be approval for your actions. Perhaps if I were to approve of your actions, and in turn your actions lead to you becoming injured, or worse, you could then find comfort in not having to take responsibility for yourself (because "so-and-so said it was okay"). Maybe you consider the imaginary wisdom of imaginary users on an imaginary internet as sufficient advice for you to use in weighing the risk you will take with your not so imaginary pulse. Young friend, 310 sky jumps is really not that much experience. Something else to note is that you claim 20 GTi jumps, which include 3 mile flights in the high 40's during which you have performed aerobatics, rolls, and loops. Apparently you can recover from instability according to your instructor, .....WAIT A MINUTE! You have an instructor?! If you felt you needed an instructor in the first place, why aren't you asking your instructor about suit suitability? I mean if "the deal is simple", why complicate it with virtual opinions. Ignorance is bliss. Good luck, God bless, Avery ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

Hello, My first canopy for BASE was a Raven III, purchased brand new in custom colors. That canopy rocked! The Mojo is a fine canopy, but I can't buy a new one now. When recently faced with assembling an all new rig, I chose a Raven III again. My choice was based on my experience. "There must be ten or more BASE canopies on the worldwide market", not all are good, in my opinion. A skydiving reserve canopy is built to be your last resort, your life saver, I don't mind starting there on a BASE jump. It doesn't change the odds either, in my opinion. It's still 50/50. ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

Hello, I went there solo in July '01, with my wife as crew. We spent as much time up there as we could, checking out that super sketchy exit point. At least the wind was blowing hard. When we were silly with hypoxia, we left for lower ground. Got a tree instead. God bless you. Avery ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity.
