What about risk-wise, as perhaps you could provide us an informed comparative view of both? Do you think you have more fun with less risk in paragliding? One of the reasons I switched from motocross to skydiving was to reduce risk, and now I'm not sure I have an overall decrease in risk level after throwing BASE into the mix. I think i have more fun for work involved in it. I was kidding about quiting base man, i was just being dramatic. paragliding is just, amazing. i forgot about how amazing it was after 3 months in the hospital after a paragliding crash.

ya, thats me out of the Schweizer. BASE gear as well -SPACE-

Almost serious. i forgot why i started paragliding, then i saw this film... http://www.justacro.com/index.php?m=21&dl=128 -SPACE-

yeah, i use them mostly. i sometimes pack with none, sometimes with 5, sometimes with 16. they all seem to be the samepackjob though.

One of the most skilled and natural jumpers i jump with says its not worth it as well, and i doubt ill ever do another one myselk -SPACE-

I freefell 180' ....over/into water. but impact would have been rock. -SPACE-

I agree. I fly a Vampire and a Acro. Th Vampire i can fly with anyone on any suit, good or bad. my best freind only can float and go fast on his V1. I have a pretty big guy i have flown with, when he is flying a GTI he sucks at, i can stay with him no problem. -SPACE-

PCA'd jumps are a good thing to have experience with, both giving and receiving, if you're really BASE jumping and not just jumping from the same object with the same exit over and over...And PCA or StaticLine are by far the safest exit you can do given there is no object to run into. So requiring it in a FJC is not a bad idea no matter how good the fit... i dissagree somewhat. the first PCA i got was off my first B, 5th BASE jump. i asked what would be different, he said it would be softer and faster. i said ok. it was softer and faster. back to my whole thing about different people BASE jumping. some would freak out about their fist PCA, of course, those people would have done pcas on their first jumps anyway? aye? -SPACE-

negative, it is me doing backflips off my freinds schweizer 400' off the deck. yeah, base stuff. vid is cool -SPACE-

Why did I forget my stash-bag?? dude I have LOST 2 stashbags. weird. i seriously dont know how it happens, always bandit airplane jumps though. -SPACE-

hmmm, well, i agree with another poster here. me and my crew have PCAd people with no skydives or paraglider experience off Potato, and they standup their landings in the middle of the landing area, but i have also seen people with 1500 skydives fuck up every exit they do. and land in the water for their first 20 jumps. to me, the kind of person it is starting to base is by far the most important factor in teaching someone. I have 2 freinds that i have given a 3 hour ground school to, and put a student siz rig on them, and we do a 3 way thier first jump from 8000. they even remember to turn around and "track" at 4500. but i have freinds that i wouldnt want to recomend anything but a tandem to. when BASE was starting, the way i see it is most of those guys starting it were the people who caould do what i was talking about. now its a exponentialy growing sport, and every frat boy in the world wants to have their slice, and they can because its all proven now. this is also why i dont agree with FJCs, they put together 3 to 10 people, some have no buisness in BASE, and some have no buisness in an FJC. and evry one of them is required to get PCAD their first jump, even if they are totaly able and comfortable going stowed. me and my boys all went stowed on our first jumps. edited to add "s around track.

sorry sir. backing down. ill edit to refraise -SPACE-

note the sigline, homeslice -SPACE-

donat sperm? whoa! ok, a few things about that. on the 2nd of Nov, i have a vasectomy appointment when i sleep with a girl, i use a condom, and the anti swimmythings stuff, not only do i not want to have kids, i dont think that kids should be had be many people at all. so, i wont freeze my swimmers, i wont donate sperm, and i will kill a girl before i let her have my child. -SPACE-

if that was a joke or not, thank you. im 22, whats wrong with a threeway once a week? -SPACE-

yeah, she aint into that. i tried it once (different girl) and it was bit, um, tight. and i dont want a future. i just dont want her to end. -SPACE-

wait... magot does coke? -SPACE-

the ones i have had in the past were with freinds, not relationships. but i like this girl. a lot. stupid fucking me. i wish i hadnt fallen -SPACE-

she doesnt have a sister, and i dont know her freinds, they live 10 states away -SPACE-

I have free fallen a 180' cliff, with a 42" pc.

ok, so girls, my girlfreind has been talking to me about a threeway with another girl, and she seems to be serious, it was my idea, but she is not against it. is she just playing me? i mean, would you have one with your boy?

hmmm, not an rw assgrabber, but i have some weird planes. i have jumped (mostly BASE gear) from a piper pawnee 3 times, a luscomb around 50 times with the door on, Citabria about 20 times with the door on, the cargo door of a twin commanche, cargo door of a 206, hung on to the skid to 300' of a schweizer helicopter packed slider off, hmm... cessna 180, no jump door, just normal door, supercub, schweizer 233 glider, GROB with no canopy, i think thats it. did a two way out of citabria, and one out of luscomb, -SPACE-

go do your homework! and look! i changed my sig line. good idea. -SPACE-

You're shooting an approach in a Cessna 152...at night...with a crosswind...that is gusting to 45 mph. ha ha! dude, so, i was on my way home from alaska in a twin comanche, and my instructor fell asleep, his sister (who i was sleeping with at the time) asked me to hop in the back seat. i threw on the autopilot, and hopped back there. one of the best BlowJobs i have ever had. of course, as i was making a mess in her mouth, the left engine ran out of gas, i forgot to switch the tanks before i hoped in back to get some tail. he woke up, and fixed the problem. looked back at us, shook his head, and fell back asleep. we havent spoke of it since then. i still maintain she gave me the best BJ of my life, with a view of the Alaska mountains all around me at the same time.

thanks bro, i mean, not only am i amazingly hot, and girls drip out of their shorts while i walk by, but i am a jedi. and girls like jedis. like deadman, he gets more leg than me, but he is not as jedi as i am, just better looking. its both man. -SPACE-
