Mario Richards packed in the back of our ford passenger van while we driving down the highway, and jumped it off a 400ft windmill NEVER GIVE UP!
-
I took from this, that it was at least his second jump from this object, maybe more, or this guy would have witnessed the accident as well. NEVER GIVE UP!
-
Where do you get that from? How many jumps have you done on vented vs un-vented? NEVER GIVE UP!

I always taught my students to not do this. It makes it easier to get yourself in line-twists on opening. Think of how divers increase their rotation in the spin, they bring their arms in. The opposite to stop it, arms out. The same holds true for wrestlers, if they were to keep their arms in close to the body, it would be very easy for the opponent to flip them over. Arms and legs spread out to be more stable NEVER GIVE UP!

Same here NEVER GIVE UP!

Would you still say the same thing if your grandmother was out for dinner, and it was a bunch of snowboarders EAT FUCK SNOWBOARD!! Bottom line it's not the DZ, it's a public, family restaurant. There is a time and a place for everything! NEVER GIVE UP!

Does anyone have Jessys' contact info? NEVER GIVE UP!

I'm curious how it is you know what was going through Brians mind at the time. The only one who truly knows what was happening can't tell us. It's easy to say I would have done this, or that, now. Hind sight is always 20-20 NEVER GIVE UP!

Glad you liked it I have to say I was a bit apprehensive to do this, but, I thought Herminio did an excellent job, however, some might say I'm biased Thanks to everybody who helped out at BD. Especially my Teamates NEVER GIVE UP!

He'll be OK, as Tom said, fracture, but no spinal damage NEVER GIVE UP!

KEEP YOUR PRIORITIES IN ORDER! BASE BEFORE: Bitches Alcohol Smoke Everything BASE FIRST! NEVER GIVE UP!

Yeah Peter they are the version you want As for the "joke printing on the back" It was no joke, it was and is my statement to BASE jumpers. I had quite a few jumpers wanting a shirt with just that saying on the back. It was 03 when we got all the Canadians together in the lobby for a photo. I never got a copy of that, so if anyone has it, I'd like to get one NEVER GIVE UP!
-
Yep, I'll be there Thursday with shirts and copies of the dvd NEVER GIVE UP!
-
Nicely done Pup He truly was one of the best! NEVER GIVE UP!
-
No they aren't, unless your buying one Adam, then of course they are However, all of the proceeds from the Canadian BASE Association shirts are going towards getting the medical bills taken care of. NEVER GIVE UP!
-
I'll second that! Unless I lost one, or both of the clamps I was born with NEVER GIVE UP!
-
STILL WRONG NEVER GIVE UP!
-
Don't count on it. I know the jumper, and he has a lot to learn. NEVER GIVE UP!
-
It's a good idea Would you make it available everyone? If you did then you'd have 20 jump wonders thinking they could teach because they read the forum. If not, how do you decide who gets to be in on it? NEVER GIVE UP!

All true, I'm 41, and I thought the same thing, at each decade, 20,30 40. Each time thinking OK now I've matured. I'm sure that will continue, and when and if I make 60, I'll look back and think I knew shit when I was 41, but each person is individual 16 or 66 I've met 17 yr olds who were far more heads up than guys at 40 or even 50 Edit to add: I taught a 17 yr old a few years ago, and he was just crowned new World Champ in Swooping! NEVER GIVE UP!
-
Being a skydiving instructor is for sure an asset, however, his profile says he only has 100 BASE jumps. I hope that # needs to be updated. To teach anyone, you should have more than that NEVER GIVE UP!

Hey Faber, I too am struggling with this one. My son is 16 as well, and has recently been bugging me to let him continue Skydiving, with the intent to start BASE jumping. I'm still on the fence with this one. He knows full well, first hand, the dangers of BASE, yet he still wants to jump. At 16, he's at the crossroad of life, not quite an adult, but not a kid anymore either. What to do? To say if his son dies it's his fault, is a bit harsh I think. By that process if anyone dies that you have taken under your wing, it your fault. Do you think that everyone one "the list" has someone (mentor)to blame for their death? Just trying to invoke some thought on it. Sometimes the hardest thing about being a parent is letting them grow up. I know your kids are still young, so it's tough I don't know where I stand on this one So far my answer to him has been "we'll see" NEVER GIVE UP!

Me either, but it did get me and Anthony bumped up to first class on our way to Malaysia in 2001 Apparently the pilot was afraid we were gonna pull a DB Cooper Edit to add: He wanted to keep a close eye on us NEVER GIVE UP!
