BASE813

I whole heartedly agree with your points in this post but.......... The BASE board became this sometime ago but with the US BASE'rs posting back and forth cute comments.............. this place arrived where some of the newer jumpers could post in a more "friendly" environment. i do think the idea of this forum is being lost a little - i would like to see a closer and more regular "crew" on Blinc again............. it would be somewhat "cleaner"

those things are always over rated anyway!!

mate you remember in the pub that night when that awful looking woman whos face looked like it was used to clean concrete came on to me?!? thats her Faber! fill your boots mate coz thats one fucking gnarly object i am NEVER gonna jump! Not even "buddie assist" whoa! horrible horrible horrible! Faber - email me your home address again for the photos and CD - i lost it again!!! Be safe always...................

fucking hell John! dont the met office give you work!! You really are under worked! Cya the weekend for bank holiday mayhem!

Yes it is a jumper by jumper decision, but I feel that perhaps sometimes the jumper is not able to make that decision. When i had 150 skydives I thought I was ready - i hooked up with some jumpers and by the end of the night was sure I was way outta my depth. I took the advice of one guy (who I now jump with) and went away and concentrated on skydiving. I got to 300 jumps and started playing with CRW and flying 7-cell canopies. I then got to 450 and still did not know if i was ready. I had some email chats with a guy who likes to flick skin and he made me question a few things - i then awoke one day (and it really was like that) and knew it was time. 2 months later I was in the potatoe state for two weeks hurling myself off a span with CR. Even after this i took some time to decide if this is was for me. It was only on my 10 to 15 jump number that I realised I was at home and had found something that was me. I did not find BASE - BASE found me. (quoted from someone else!) I came back from the States to break up with my girlfriend over it, feel detached from people, told I could loose my job and have family members not talk to me..................... i stuck to my dreams and now am happier than ever................... BASE truely is the most amazing "life style" you can have. I think that some people may think they are ready (as I did with 150 skydives) but dont appreciate the life changes that can / can not happen, the intense fear and emotions that you get from this - Only on the edge can you say that "yeah i want to do that" 200 skydives in the US i think can be current but in the UK this figure i think should be more like 500 skydives. And lots of CRW / Accuracy / 7 cell / CR canopy drills etc etc - best to try them out in a large DZ rather than under a 5 second canopy ride avoiding leg breaking rocks! (just ask faber about the urban trees in "large landing area - no problem!" Just my 0.389 sheckles on the subject.............

faber it is true! we had a blast! i get the 3 films tomorrow developed! will get a copy and CD rom in the post!! many many stories on that trip! I shall post a pic of Faber on his first night in the UK tomo! You gotta love it! American girl - drop me a line we could perhaps hook up and go see some sites! "you are all wrong" Peace out Stefan!

I jump a Wizard - no problems. I like it! I prefer this velcro rig over others I have seen. Canopy - Go big! Be safe always

450 skydives (wish I had done more accuracy and CRW than I did) No balloon jumps. One day after making some plans with a certain "Rim Licka" I awoke one morning and just knew "its now time" Think hard as you will have to spend time with some real deviants! is that what you really want?!?! Skin - I hear that stick of your is not normally jumped by anyone and it is an object you can play with almost alone every night!?!?! Dont clear the landing area - thats just not cricket! What about the small creatures that reside in that forest area?! Dont clear their home! Be safe always!

What nationality was the Jumper in question? Be careful............... if in doubt walk away to jump another day.

Fuck! I hate these............... Peace to all............... lets be safe out there.......

Cheers guys!! Useful stuff!! I will be getting the Mac! Be safe out there always..................

every so ofter run a program called ad-ware 6. It cleans all these shitty things up. Can remember the site but just search google for the name. You will be amazed at the shit on your PC!!

I have the chance to buy a cheap Mac G4 - I have had a play on it and going from a windows user to this - I just dont know if it is worth the transition for the time it will take learning how Mac works.......... Anyone have any thoughts on why perhaps it would be worth me making the change to a Mac???? Thanks people! Michael

Fuck Condolences to jumpers friends, family, the French crew and the suisse crew.............. Peace out

i would define both as "O" - I know there are objects that are a grey area - but i think if you are unsure then you class them as "O" - either that or email Rick and ask him!

I hope this is the effect of alcohol! - if not then please please please get out more!

on the money!!! thats the one!!!!! the rest of you are obviously sick!!!

I flew to Norway from the UK in June and had no problem having my rig as hand luggage. Make sure you take plenty of money if you plan to sample the night life!!

O as in Other An object that cant be described as either a B or A or S or E

No worries mate!! Was truely a pleasure!! You rock yourself!! take it easy mate! Will write soon!

Now sat at home with Faber waiting to take him to the airport! What a full 10 days!! Will wait until he gets back to tell.................. Michael PS) But lets just say it includes all sub300ft jumps including his B and E!

Nice work last night with Faber flicking his first UK object - Nice 215' freefall "Other"............ Nice one!

dz.com will never replace blinc!
