Chris, I'm sure I could get some of the brothers to go down for that if the timing was right. Many us us have gone to the Holiday boogie between Christmas and New Years over the past couple of years, and we really like the place. I'm sure many would want to help out. Ganja

It sure seemed alot breezier than that last night, and we were only at 270'... Ganja "Damn bridle" Rodriguez

So that's why they always put us new guy's off first... I shoulda known it wasn't for the reasons they kept telling me.... Ganja

Chiquita, I think we can add at least one more SC brother to the mix. Jalisco is planning on coming down as well. And, he always travles with good tequila.... Ganja

Who are the Rodriguez Brothers?

When I called the company that made my base rig and placed the order, all I told them is that I was going to Bridge Day and wanted buy a rig, no questions asked.... I'm not faulting anyone, I'm simply want to point out that there is no way for them not to sell gear to "just anyone". It wouldn't take much for a whuffo to skim through a few pages on the intenet and learn enough to talk semi-intelligently about base jumping. I've never been asked for any credentials when buying skydiving or base gear. Skydiving gear stores, could at least ask for USPA information or somehting along those lines if they wanted to really tighten up, but what are base gear manufacturers going to do? I can see it now, you'll need give them refferences and mentor information until you've made a name for yourself in the sport... Ganja "There's no way to police some things..." Rodriguez

Damn, and my base rig has a 9' bridle! I'm glad I read this before going back out to jump... You think if I cal BR they'll send me a new 15' model, or could I just tie two 9's together and be even safer than a 15 footer?
-
Faber, I have to agreew with you on that note. I was planning on going back out for Labor Day, but at this rate, I'm afraid it will be shut down by then. If I bbok my trip and then they close the bridge, I'll be really pissed. Probably not as pissed as those who have relocted there though... Ganja

Hmm, How high's your roof?

I too had kids before I took a more serious look at base. I started skydiving when my oldest son was 5 months old, and have been jumping ever since. (He's 7 1/2 now). I also have a younger son, who is almost 6. To my boys, skydiving is just something normal. As far as base, they really don;t have any concept of danger, so they don't understand it all. I know the risks of base and accpet them. My wife had a hard time with it at first, but she's coming around. She's never actually seen me jump, and I was surprised when she told me she would go to BD with me this year. I think something that most people don't understand, is that base is a very personal thing. While I'm not a overly religious person, it's like a spiritual thing. At this point in my life, I can't imagine stopping. But alas, one day my time will come, and I'll have to make that decision myself... Ganja "adrenaline junkie" Rodriguez

I was hoping for 911, and missed it by five slots. We filled 916-918 on Memorial Day and we just new one of us would be lucky anough to get it... Ganja 916

Anyone know anything about railroad owned towers? I found a nice site with tower that is evidently owned by a railroad company. It looks to be a repeater of some sort. It's 259' tall and at the top of the tower are two big round dishes facing opposite of each other. Nice access, nice landing area, I'm just not sure about the con's of being on this type of tower...

I guess you're going to have to start petitioning for a larger window of time for the years to come... Ganja

Sounds very much like the way we find the exit point (and the right face) when we got our E's last month. Stopped in a prking lot and I just asked the old lady standing there watching the climber if she knew where they base jumped from. She pointed out the cliff face and the head of the trail... If she wasn;t there, I guess we'd still be riding around in those red hills saying "I think we could jump that one".... Ganja 916

I'm just glad you still posting here. That way we know you haven't leaped without your rig yet. This has to be so friggin stressful for you. Keep up the good work, and we'll buy you a beer or twelve in a few months. Ganja "Now known as 916" Rodriguez

How would you feel if your rigger smoked dope?

Gee, you make it sound like all base jumpers are a bunch of wild and crazy potheads.... Ganja
