I was reading "Labyrinth of Solitude" by Octavio Paz today and I found this quote, I like it alot and thought I would share. Death defines life; a death depicts a life in immutable forms; we do not change except to disappear. Our deaths illuminate our lives. If our deaths lack meaning, our lives also lacked it. Therefore we are apt to say, when somebody has died a violent death, "He got what he was looking for." Each of us dies the death he is looking for, the death he has made for himself. A christian death or a dog's death are ways of dying that reflect ways of living. If death betrays us and we die badly, everyone laments the fact, because we should die as we have lived. Death, like life, is not transferable. If we do not die as we have lived, it is because the life we lived was not ours: it did not belong to us, just as the bad death that kills us does not belong to us. Tell me how you die, and I will tell you who you are. ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"

Heartfelt condolences to Douggs as well as Adam's other friends, an family. From the few times I had met Adam and chatted with him I could tell he was one of the good ones. ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"

Man that sucks! Karina is a really sweet girl and a great BASE jumper. Heal Fast. ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"

At my bar we always called that a Jackass, this being done on the show "Jackass" only re-enforced this. ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"

>>Since the area we are tracking over is flat, the reference to pull height there is 360 degrees. It's not flat untill you clear the trees, and most people I have seen do not. ~J There is also a big tree on the other side of the road which holds mermaids that will guide you in if you are not careful For some reason I picked this tree to fly towards on one jump and opened right over it...

Huckfinn is apparently a *very* good tracker in 2 trips to the valley, during a fairly busy time there I've only seen maybe 1 person -over- the road in tracking gear and they were deffinately not 'high'. Most people I saw who pulled low (5-6) second canopy rides were mid field. Just remember to look down *below* you, not ahead of you while you are tracking. ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"

>>>How do you "grip" a thumb loop? You don't need to make a fist to max out a Classic. If anything I'd think it could work against you if you are flying too tense. ~You are right about the classic, it was a bad habit I stopped, I was more refering to it because of the grippers on other models. >>>But, you do have a point about making sure your muscles are relaxed for pull. On suits with grippers and long (2.5+ minute) flights, this can be a more valid issue. ~Unless people are getting 2.5+ minute BASE wingsuits and I hadn't heard (are they?) I'm more worried when 1 extra second will kill you. not at 2k on a skydive. ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"

I am new to wingsuit base (like 15 jumps,) One thing I noticed was that I was gripping the thumb loops (Birdman classic but I imagine holding grippers could have the same effect) very tightly so when pulltime came my hand was stiff from the cold and gripping so hard. The action of releasing my grip griping the pilot chute and tossing it was very slightly retarded, I now try for a relaxed but firm grip. As an example make a tight fist and hold it for 20 seconds,then try to open and close and open and close it quickly....it's a little awkward. Maybe not what you were looking for but it's my 2¢ ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"

$1= 1.20 francs Hotel horner....deffinately stay there. 32 francs Zurich is a good airport but fly into any of them, whichever is the cheapest. the train is about 3 hours and 70 francs. ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"

That sucks, I recently met Peter while in Norway staying in the White House. He seemed really heads up. ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"

A that point i believe the proper terminology is "clitoris". ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"

"They" is one person. Others may agree with because they read t in the papers. Of all the people I have talked to in Twin that is the first time I have heard that opinion expressed. People unfortunately seem to believe what they read. ... But it's not too late! No press is my first choice but good, sensible, positive, resonable press is my second. i'll raise the Jolly Rodger any time I feel It's the best bet but I'm entirely willing to swallow my pride if I have to, and say..." thanks, for letting us do what our Fore Fathers fought for... the freedom to enjoy the land we love in any way we see fit, solong as it doesn't infringe on our brother and sisters' freedom and security" . ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"

When I drive up to Twin Falls I buy gas for my car. my gas is taxed. when I stay at the hotel, I bring money to the community.I pay taxes.and the money I spend is taxed. When I eat 2-3 meals a day at the local restaurants..... When I drink at the bars...... so do all the spectators that are "causing traffic". rediculous. ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"
