BASE813

Dude. You calling yourself a skydiver now? Will wonders never cease.... yeah a momentary lapse of reason! ...... UNCLEAN UNCLEAN!! I am feeling much better now................ errgghh!

reading all this back and forth discussion about what was right, what was wrong, who did what, who said what.................. In the end the only matter here that jumps were made off the rail.............. I live in a different country and I know that you should not jump the rail................ its as clear cut as that too me.................. simple.............. dont do it.........

there is a big difference between skydiving and the BASE world................

im looking for the daily mail UK version today....................

I am not able to get a scan - so can someone get me a scan of page 24 and 25 of todays (03/07/04 - 3rd july) Daily Mail............... thanks

i would like to talk to you about this..................

I load my Troll MDV @ 0.73 if you take the "sold as seen size" - but as Sabredave says, Trolls are measured differently so my 265 is actually more like a 280 where my loading is actually more accurate as 0.65. There has been a few posts about how the troll is measured differently, and some posts on "big boy canopies" - have a search around BLiNC and DZ - I am sure you will find some useful info....

Shit Christina........ Get well soon................ Michael

hey Space is cool in my book! no matter who he may stick up for!............. to be honest Space is one of the people I hold in high regard........ As for the bridge being flicked who and when first.............. well hey.......... Us brits did it a long time ago and its not even in our country!!!! hehehehe - stop sleeping y'all!!!! be cool, have fun, and dont sweat the politics!!!!

thanks for your rely (and others that PM'd me) I have spoken to a lawyer who says: "tresspass is a criminal and civil offence" I have spoken to the police who say: "its a civil offence and nothing to do with us" I have spoken to the CAB who say: "well we dont really know anything about that sort or activity" .................. I am in actual need in getting what the "LAW" says about BASE - can someone point me toward someone that perhaps knows / or would like know how we stand here........... thanks again for those that took time to answer me! Michael

ooops!!! sorry! such a school boy error of me!!!

thank you both for your replies........ unfortunatly both general solicitors and the CAB dont have a clue about BASE juming in the UK - nor do the police as it seems "its not our problem" from what my lawyer is saying it all comes down to the legal standing of BASE in the UK - I really need to find out how it is seen legally here....................

I posted this on the UK BASE board and the DZ BASE forum - but thought there maybe some legal UK jumpers who dont read those: If you are a lawyer or know someone that might be able to help me then please M me........... thank you. ---------------------------------------------------- I have recently spoken to a lawyer about a situation I have with my company. Going into month 3 off work due to my injury, I spoke to my company and told them about the possibilty of a bone graft operation in 2 months, my company is now speaking to their legal department about my situation. Having spoken to my own solicitor, it seems that due to the "illegal" side of our sport I may not have much standing against them. The only way I am able to argue against them either changing my contract without changing everyones, or being able to put in a clause that means they can sack me if I should get injured again is that they were well aware of my activity for the past 2 years. The issue of BASE being seen as "illegal" means that they have more rights in changing my contract. The solicitor I am speaking to, is unaware of BASE as a sport, but his general thoughts are that tresspass is both a civil and criminal offence........... (I have since spoken to several Police areas and they say "its a civil issue and nothing to do with us" My company has no rights in restricting what I do outside of work if it does not effect my working hours, but if me taking part in an "illegal" activity effects my work then I dont really have "a leg to stand on" ??? I really need to find more information on the supposed legal stand point of BASE - if anyone has any information that may help me, or any contact of a BASE knowing lawyer then drop me a line............... some people hey!

I asked this last year........... not sure if the links are still active though.............. http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=15&topic_id=567&mesg_id=567&page=

ok............ now having spoken to the police about BASE jumping they say "its a civil issue and not our problem" so where do we stand?

there is no time limit in getting qualified - as long as your having fun where is the problem. I started juming with a friend and within 2 years I had around 300+ jumps and he was still on student status with 20+ jumps as he like you only came up occassionally - he eventually qualified, he is not bothered about progressing that much and just likes to make a bunch of jumps occasionally and enjoy the freefall.................. sometimes I think people forget about the joy of freefalling and focus on working to hard............... just have fun with what you are doing.............
