  1. Do you think that they could get you on some kind of conspiracy charge? Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  2. Congrats Sam! It sounds like you're making the best of every minute over in europe. One of these days I'll get around to doing some WS base after I get some more terminal jumps under my belt. Seeya! Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  3. We really must bring the thread back to life! Hopfully things will pick back up after the holidays. If anybody's interested, Matt, Marion & I are getting together for dinner at 6:15 @ the Lynwood Grill followed by Happy Feet at the Raleigh Grand. Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  4. Same here. I'll be in FL the 26th to the 2nd. I know that FL turns into a zoo over the holidays, but I'd love to make a jump on a warm FL night. Seeya, Eric BASE1127 Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  5. I've been working on a freefly tube as my first big sewing project. ZP is a bitch! Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.

    120' S

    I'm also very curious about the TARD vs SL debate. There's a ~135ish indoor jump in my neighborhood that I'm looking foreward to one day Which would be a better choice? Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  7. Hey everybody, I was just given official word that the B.U.S. bus is leaving at 2:30 from the united methodist church on MLK blvd./historic airport rd/NC86. If you need directions call me, Nick or Dave. Seeya there! Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  8. Sorry I couldn't make it Whit! I had dinner with my Grandparents & then went to keep Marion company. I'll seeya at the DZ! Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  9. ^Then why do you even need the airplane... You should be able to take off, fly around in the ridge lift, and land with ease Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  10. As of now, they are still looking for videographers who can film freefly. The military schools are bringing something like 9 videographers to film 2 & 4 way. Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  11. 8 smoke canisters on one jump?? That'll get expensive fast! The paragear cold smoke sucks, the only thing that I've ever had any luck with is M18 (hot) smoke. I talked to Joey Costa, and he said that the Orbit Punks used to be sponsored by some company that made really good cold smoke. Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  12. The VISO has a neat little feature that records your speed from exit to landing sampling every quarter second. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I've gotten speeds up to 84mph under a JVX at 1.9ish. Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  13. Almost got that pesky blindman... Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  14. A bit off topic here, but would anyone be interested in taking a DZ karting trip sometime in December? There is a serious kart track at Virginia International Raceway, about an hour north of Durham. It's 5/8 mile and they have 50cc Zip karts for $50/hour. There's also an indoor karting place in Garner that runs $20 per 8 minute heat :( They have group rates if we can get enough people together. Check it out Clicky! Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  15. Don't forget your cooler! Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  16. My ZP JVX80 is a tight fit in a 120 Dbag. I'd assume that a full sail of that size would feel at home in a 150 bag. Good luck! Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  17. Correct. Red Robin at 6, movie at 8 @ the Brier Creek theater. Buy your tickets early! Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  18. UPDATE: I just talked to the powers that be at manifest & the DZ will not be open tomorrow (friday) due to a lack of tandem students. The weekend however is booked up... go figure. I've heard some talk about going to see Casino Royale on friday at Brier Creek near M/C/D's house. Who's up for it? Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  19. I wish this event wasn't two weeks after collegiate nationals I'd love to go but I can't spent that long in FL. Have a great boogie! Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  20. ^ Sounds good to me! There was actually a bit of a crowd at the DZ today! About 10 fun jumpers came out & enjoyed the warmness... even at altitude The weekend looks pretty busy and the weather is supposed to be great, I'll see you all soon. Eric Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  21. I shoot video for a living, so i guess that makes me a skydiver. I started BASE jumping just a little over a year ago & in that time I've made 84 BASE jumps and about 750 skydives. Lately I'll have one slider up rig and one slider down rig in my trunk at all times. Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  22. Newsflash! Tomorrow (friday) the weather will be 78 with light & variable winds and the DZ will be OPEN! There are at least 3 loads worth of tandems scheduled to show up at noon. If you've been looking for an excuse to cut out of work early, catch a few loads and not wear gloves, then this is your chance! Seeya! Eric Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  23. Nearly every time that I do a SD ~1sec. delay in a crosswind my canopy tends to open offheading facing directly into the wind. I've got a sequence of still photos where you can see the packjob spin around 180 right above my head well before the canopy reaches line stretch. I think that it's really a matter of relative wind hitting the packjob as it's slowly pulled to line stretch combined with the direction that the PC is pulling it.

    A Question

    I've seen a couple of people with BASE number tattoos. I'm willing to bet that they'd be against switching numbers. I'd be curious to know what percentage of jumpers on the list had a BASE number? Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
  25. For me it's a matter or direction. I'll take a SD rig and pull it up to go to a terminal jump. If I don't end up getting a terminal jump, I'll repack rather than just pulling the slider back down. Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.
