BASE813

yet another reason for my Faber / English Dictionary

I was talking to Tom about it. I don't think it affects the time although the openings seem more "staged" probably due to the fact that the slider tailgate acts as a "direct slider control" but without the side effects of it because the tailgate is right in the center of the trailing edge and the lines are not shortenen. some people note harder openings with direct control or slidergates.......... thoughts?

and prey tell why was the "cripple" was a cripple? lazy cunts.............

also have a story about Fabers first B that I will post soon..................

And this is the thread for it... 90L off heading you hit alot of scaffold if you are not right on your shit. With the landing area being a car park of a well know national exhibition center and our ignorance and arrogance we choose this exit point, and the wind has also died down. My friend decides "I am going" - I decide with the marginal winds "Not for me" - so I shake his hand and wish him luck and arrange to call him when I get back to the car. All is good on his jump, and I pick him up and we drive off laughing about the whole night. The next after next, I was at home alone and looked out of the window and it was breathless, I jumped in my car and travelled 70 miles to the B, this time I went through the easy access and went straight to the exit, I called my friend at the top and explained where I was and ask for telephone groundcrew. I got off, all was good and drove away laughing to myself once again. The night my friend got off he became BASE811, the night I got off I became BASE813............. and it was not long after I looked back at our B and E and thought "what the fuck were were thinking" - time to slow down a bit and get off this wave of excitement.............

well looks like its "what the fuck do I know" hehehehehe I have only been their once to look around and cant for the life of me remember a canal........but as I said - my memory is pretty fucked............. best I go and have another look, I wonder if the phone number of the shading looking geezer I met at 1am outside who lived on the top floor still works??

Not sure that it is TTower, as in the pic the B is sat on the river, and I am pretty sure TTower isnt , but then again I have not been to TTower for a couple of years so I may have a fucked memory of it...... Nice pic though..........

for sure!

knowing the problems in getting lesser available altitude buildings in London built, I would be surprised if this gets through the planning process easily.......... but I fucking hope it does!

Fucking cool! look forward to it............. Is that IanM with the ciggy?

sent PM

what height did you jump from and what were the winds like at that height?

There is a competition being run by a battery manufacturer and the question is: Now my question is: What the fuck is "max out"?!

After a weekend in the Lowlands of BE and not getting a jump in due to weather, myself and the guy I first started BASE with decided to make the best of the holiday weekend and drive back from Antwerp to the UK (3 hours), back to my house (3 hours), check the winds and go and do our first E and jump the Cheesy Cliff (mentioned in Groundrush a bit). Winds looked good for the morning so drove straight there (2 hours) to find the exit point and check out the landing. All looked good and we went to grab a pint to discuss the jump. Now the Cheesy one is quite a hardcore jump, and at the time we both had about 18 jumps and naturally we were both abit apprehensive about doing such a jump, we sat in the pub with our pint discussion whether such a jump should be done - the tone was starting to move toward a negative, so my friend said "I know lets go somewhere", we drove to a place called Weston Super Mare (another 1 hour) we sat in a pub having another pint over looking the town, we watched all the holiday makers (weston super mare is a tacky place where people who cant afford to go away on holiday go for holidays) staggering around, falling asleep with their chips on their chest in the road and generally being horribly behaved. After about 30mins of watching this I realised something, people waste their whole lives not really living and what we do is special and needs to be savoured, I turned to my mate and said "lets fucking do this". We drove back to the cliff (another 1 hour) and parked up below the exit to get about 3 hours sleep in the car to start our way up to get to the exit for sunrise. We awake, hike up and now it takes us less time as we know where the exit point is so we misjudge the sunrise, we have another 2 hours til sunrise. We sit down and wait, in the cold, I start shivering, and feel the cold of the night, then I stop and start wanting to go to sleep, my mate recognises this as the start of hypothermia and says "you gotta get some heat, let me hug you", he sees the look on my face and says "not in a gay way you bummer" We hug and keep warm, we discuss that BASE should technically allow us to sleep with more women, but all it has done is allow us to sleep with more men in strange out of the way places... The sunrises, we get kitted up and we jump the 340ft slightly underhung Cheesy one for our first E............... We are naturally buzzing our tits off. We drive back to my house (2 hours), and pack our rigs in my garden, we then fall alseep on the packing sheet as after 10 hours driving and 3 hours sleep in the past 24 hours and the stresses we felt in doing this cliff as our first E it was only right our bodies thought "fuck me" 3 days later we then scoped and jumped our first B (1 night my friend and the next night me solo), but thats another story in itself.................. fucking air con systems are small!! I wont bore you anymore..........

Yeah mate, as Sean621 says - that one this morning had your name all over it.......... Ah, so we can now blame you for us only getting 3 hours sleep............. Be cool dude.......

I paid around $7,500 to make my first jump............... WITHOUT a party to go to afterwards! $75 is fuck all.................

PM me and I will give you some phone numbers of people that will help you out...............

A Google spokesman responds it does not filter searches from China - well they do filter searches and not just from countries but from certain search terms............... Do you think this is fair? Is it blocking the freedom of the net and having American Companies controlling what people in other countries are able to search for?

1)always put my canopy in my stash bag before i take off my harness, this stops any weird twists and walk throughs................ 2) always carry a red LED and pull up as trying to close your container on top with a shoe lace in pitch black is not fun (hey S or K hehe) 3) Always jump with someone experienced in first aid - you might need them some day 4) carry crutches (or jump with someone strong enough to carry you) and a tool kit in your car just in case you need to extract someone with a bust leg (ask evil ivan what its like to hop from the landing area with a fucked tib and fib) from somewhere you should not be 5) Always carry extra TG's and TG bands when packing in the field 6)Always ensure you check your stash bag when leaving the house as you dont want to turn up with a skydive rig to the object 7) Always take your other PCs as you may go from a 42 jump to a 46 jump without notice 8) Always jump with decent boots - I found they stop your tib breaking out of the skin on the bottom of your foot

what a night...................... funny as fuck! the curse of the house though............ that fucking sucks............ just posted a list on the UK board - and this is in one of "most memorable" Thanks for the memories................ Mac PS) Glad your Gran-in-law was ok..............

respect........

ooops!

climb dark, jump dark - that way there is no question..............
