[reply CReW Dawgs call this piece of material a "cross connector." Sorry. Shit! thanks for the input though. I was just informed that , in skydiving, this cross connector has caused fatalities - something regarding the snapping of necks. Might not be good to introduce another hazardous variable. -Bryan I love base like a fat kid loves cake

Yo Tree, Order the appropriate shit. Can you do the mod for me. I'll be the test dummy. -Bryan I love base like a fat kid loves cake

Going along with this idea. Would a piece of riser material connected between the rear and front risers make a convenient single-point and fast way to pull both at the same time with the same hand. You heard it here first - unless I'm way late with a tired and useless idea. Make sure if you put this on your rig you call it the MDBASE mod or like the b-mod or something cool. -Bryan -Bryan I love base like a fat kid loves cake

Geeze Tom, this was a very personal and private message meant for my close peers Oh well. -Bryan I love base like a fat kid loves cake

There never seems to be enough time or money or time-off to persue base to the fullest. Well, at least not for me, and probably most of you as well. So, I'm looking for a little guidance from my base bro's and sis's. What would you do? Back when I was in the Marine Corps (the poor Corporal that I was) we would frequently hear of ways to make a quick buck. One of them was: you could sell a testicle (nut, to the lay person) to science for $150,000. Now considering I already have a child who is 5 and don't plan on having anymore, this seems like a great deal. I think they even give you a prosthetic. I mean, as long as there's no hormone imbalance, what the fuck. Wouldn't the other one just compensate anyway? Or, would such compensation cause excess growth so that you now have 1 large nut and one regular size prosthetic nut? Think of the possibilities! Think of how much fun you could have if you dedicated the entire $150,000 to base adventures. That's a hell of a lot of rigs and travel and damn, just about whatever. It's a lot more productive than a lonely nut just hanging around 'n shit. Your guidance and wisdom is needed oh great knowing basers. Please share other quick $ ideas you've heard. I'm willing to sell just about any non-essential organ, except for my weinaw. (even though it's not getting much use now, I still need it and besides I'd probably only get $5) Yes, I would give my left (it's the one I'm always moving out of the way for my leg strap) nut to make more jumps.

Nice story! Yer english aint so bad mate Makes me think of a solo I did on base jump #4 from my 720'er. It was scary as hell and when I landed in the dark field, I immediately took a seat on the ground with my canopy still draped over my back. I looked up at the full moon. It had a huge halo around it as is offen seen in the late fall. It was positioned in the sky just above the tower from my perspective. I sat there for about 20 minutes and just sucked in the feeling of being alive. No cameras , no spectators , no ground crew, no witnesses. Just me, the moon , the tower and a whole lot of appreciation for life. Life IS good, aint it -Bryan -Bryan I love base like a fat kid loves cake

Agreed! we just got a new gc / base hopeful in our crew. Went out last night at midnight to our local "A". Weather was supposed to be good. Turned out to be lighting and rain and just plain shitty. got one off anyway. GC never complained once , even when getting eaten alive by skeeters. (pants next time dude, pants!) Didn't even hesitate to say yes when asked to pull an all-nighter, despite having to be at work at 5:30 am . Totally heads-up and intuitive too. Even drowned us in our favorite alcohol. Welcome to our crew!! We havn't had GC this motivated, ever! Thanks Zet! To the original question : Kevin summed it up perfectly. edited to include relevance. -Bryan I love base like a fat kid loves cake

yo dudes, My friends and I just took our parachutes off of a tower.....I think I'll call it BASE jumping. This is not for the faint of heart! -Bryan I love base like a fat kid loves cake

The temple is sitting here with both of them and would take oral pleasure from either one considering i have enough energy to pack 100 rigs. It's a base boogie in MD or maybe just an orgy........we're to drunk to tell.............first drinks on us. Everyones is invited , including tom's wife.

No offense, but this doesn't really make any sense at all. BASE jumping is dangerous and it's the human factor that makes it more safe. Once you commit and are in freefall, you are essentially dead - in a sort of purgatory. Your soul is waiting for you to make a decision. Any decision you make at that point has a greater chance of improving your situation than making it worse than it already is. Even if you end up fucked up. To me, it's that simple. It's just common sense that if you are going to participate you need to be vigilant with your knowledge and prepared to your best ability. -Bryan -Bryan I love base like a fat kid loves cake

The bottom line is that our brains are hard-wired for us to be land dwellers on two feet. This hard-wiring creates the voices in our heads as we climb towers or head toward and exit point. As we go along in our base careers, this hardwiring begins to yeild at a rate directly proportional to our experiences with base and the intensity of such actions. We become completely disfunctional and disconnected with the "walmart crowd" aka the general public or whuffos or whatever. My opinion is: I'll just enjoy the intoxicating affects of this hard-wiring breaking down while trying to stay alive as long as possible. Now we throw drug use into the equation................ -Bryan I love base like a fat kid loves cake

I have a torn bicep scar from a tower strike on a BASE jump(muscle ripped from tendon). While i don't think many chicks would find it attractive , it does have quite a good story to tell. I just tell people "shiiiiit, if you think that's bad, you should see the dent I left in the tower!" -Bryan I love base like a fat kid loves cake

A bare minimum tower (1000' +) with no transmission equipment and just minimal legal requirements. (lights, surveys, faa crap) is in the millions. Also, private property or not you'll never be able to build a tall tower without the FAA's involvement. The t.v station I work for purchased a couple new towers. They're around 900 'w/elevators and cost just over $15,000,000 Of course this covers alot of transmission equipment and support that we wouldn't need. -Bryan I love base like a fat kid loves cake

When you're debating with someone and it's obvious to both of you that you are right. But, the other person rebuts with "yeah, I'm just sayin........" My stepbrother says this constantly. I want desperately to punch him in the face each time. -Bryan I love base like a fat kid loves cake

I agree, supplements don't provide any miracle. They just give you an edge. The keys to getting results are discipline , HARDWORK, and proper diet. Oh, and to all you slackers -- did I mention HARDWORK? -Bryan I love base like a fat kid loves cake

Yo Aggiedave, I'm also a big ephedra freak. I love the stuff and have never had any adverse reactions. I workout, intensly, 5 days a week and it definitely helps. At any rate, if you want a suitable substitute, try Yohimbe bark. No, don't buy that week-ass crap they sell at GNC for $40 an ounce. Go on the internet and buy the raw bark from a wholesaler(it's dirt cheap). you might be able to find a local herb store that sells it. Put some pieces of the bark in a coffee grinder and turn it into a powder. (it does this very easily and becomes quite dusty). Next buy some cheap tea bags and empty the contents. Fill the empty tea bags about 1/4 to 1/2 (depending on the strength you want). Heat up a regular 8 ounce cup of water and drop in one of those bad-ass yohimbe bags. Remove the bag and drink the whole thing, fast!! Don't be suprised when it tastes like shit, because it does. don't worry about it-just drink it!! If you start to sweat and your heart races too fast, you've slightly O.D'd. Just taper off the amount untill you get the desired result. Yohimbe is a vaso-dialator and increases blood flow to your muscle tissue. It originated in Cameroon in Africa and was used as a "Pre war" stimulant by African warriors. One of the good side affects is that it hooks up "the third leg" by increasing blood flow to it also. It's sometimes prescribed to older gents as treatment for impotentce. So if your young and your pipe works, it just adds to the power! Alot of websites you'll find on Yohimbe will describe it as a powerful aphrodisiac. I guess, but I found it works best for lifting weights, as I'm naturally horny about 23 out of 24 hours in a day. Yohimbe is also an MAOI inhibitor so you'll get a headache if you eat too much of a certain amino acid that I can't recall (I think it's Taurine). It's found in aged cheeses and other stuff. Hope this post helps YOHIMBE!!! http://www.herbalfire.com/yohimbe.htm -Bryan P.s please don't sue me if you end up dead due to this advice -Bryan I love base like a fat kid loves cake

Lots of people will give you different numbers. My opinion is that skydiving is the path to BASE and on that path there are many skills that need to be learned in order to survive.. Focus on the skills and not the number. Realistically and honestly analyze your ability. Progress at your own speed. You may be able to perform skills at 50 jumps that most people can't do with 150. Or, vice versa. When you feel you are ready to make your first BASE jump. Read all the BASE manufacturers literature. Read the BASE fatalities list. Read through the archives on BLiNC. Go and analyze sites on your own. Be responsible for yourself and act as if you are going to do it alone. Once you feel like you can do it alone. GO FIND A MENTOR and bounce the info you have learned over, lets say the last year, off of him/her. If you were deligent in your learning you will be surprised at how much you know. Your appropriately experienced mentor will put the finishing touches on to help you stay alive. -Bryan I love base like a fat kid loves cake

This should give you answers to all of your questions regarding lighting and paint requirements http://wireless.fcc.gov/antenna/documentation/faadocs/7460-1K.pdf Even though these guidlines can be used to ESTIMATE height, I would not ever trust my life to it. Ex: some lighting guidlines state that if the tower is over 500ft but less than 700ft it should have _____type of lighting. That's a 200ft difference that could definitely fuck up your year. The best way that i've found to get tower height(other than using a laser range finder, which is best by far) is to get the 7 digit ASRN (Antenna Structure Registration Number) and search for it using www.berkana.com/tower. This number is usually placarded conspicuously on the fence around the object. This gives you the STRUCTURE height not including appertunances (radiation source) on the top. Then you have to make udjustments for where the safest exit point is. -Bryan I love base like a fat kid loves cake
