Maybe because Guy Manos has over 10 000 jumps and is a well know big way organizer some people don't want to come out and state the obvious - that movie was a piece of shit. I know it was only made to make money and wasn't made as an advertisement for the sport, but god that movie was crap. And anybody who reckons Hollywood can't make a decent movie about skydiving obviously hasn't seen 'The Gypsy Moths' (1969). Will

You heard on TV that he is searching for sites? Regular stealth ninja turtle ain't he...

LMFAO!! That alone will save her $50 per month!

Wow, I'd be interested to know what canopy that was.

And my point is that the dropzone is a good place to start looking. I never said it was the only place. Also, the onus does rest on the newbie to use some common sense in who they choose as a mentor. Personally I wouldn't feel happy trusting my life to some stranger that I found on the internet. The closest I've come to that is the BR FJC. It is reassuring that the people I jump with and learn from I already knew from skydiving. But that is just me, YMMV. Will

I agree, my point is just that the dropzone is a good place to start meeting other BASE jumpers. Definitely not the only place but a good place to start. Where did you first meet Bryan (bps)? Will
-
Yes, he is English. Actually he jumped at Hinton on a visit to the UK. Check with Carter, he was freeflying with him.

Congratulations Stefan. Well done dude! Will
-
Well done Jess!!

You keep hanging in there dude. When I read about people like Douglas Bader, Dana Bowman and yourself it is a true testament to the power of the human will to overcome the seemingly impossible. You might be in a hospital bed right now but you are definitely a stronger person than me. Keep healing. Will

Spend more time at the DZ and you will be sure to meet BASE jumpers. Fact is, if your only priority in skydiving is to get 150 jumps so that you can do a FJC you won't meet many BASE jumpers through skydiving. If you wait a bit longer not only will you get experience in skydiving (canopy control and dealing with shit) but you'll probably make some contacts at the DZ. A general observation : it appears that it is often people with very few skydives (150 - 200) who do a FJC and then subsequently come on the internet looking for a mentor. I don't think the internet is the place to look for a mentor, the dropzone is a good place to start (which means spending some time there). Will

This might be of interest to UK jumpers. I bought a pair of bike rain pants from this place. Only cost £18 (inc. P+P). What the ad doesn't say (and I was very pleased to discover) is that the pants have two layers. So, I have just burnt the holes in the outer layer. The lower legs also unzip to give a nice big '70s style flare (ie where they unzip there is more fabric the leg isn't exposed). The fabric quality and stitching _seems_ good - I'll try them out this weekend at the DZ and give some feedback next week. Will

Wow, you win.

Fuck that, someone pass me an axe! Timber!!!!!

And right now someone in the Middle East is probably thinking 'They don't like us because we're not fat'.

Were these injuries really down to bad luck or were they a result of poor decisions attributed to inexperience? Did that person continue jumping after the second injury? I heard the story from Don of your incident at the bridge, goddamn that must've been one painful recovery! Will
-
Aaah yes, the secret signal of the International Wife Stealing Rat Bastards, I know it well... Glad you guys had fun.
-
Craig, I'd be interested in buying a vcd copy - any chance of that? Maybe other people would prefer a vcd over VHS as well? Will
-
You do understand that this book is in English right? JK, Mac can read it to you when he tucks you into bed on your next UK visit.
-
Spectre230, what an ass-hat. I remember when I was on 999 posts, I stopped posting for a while just to fuck with everybody who wanted to know what the next title was. Got a PM from him telling me to 'stop fucking around already and make another post'. What a douche bag.

You tell me that joke again and it won't be toothpaste I shove up your nose... "UP MY NOOOOOOOOSE!!!" Wingnut, Texel 2001.

Who won the BASE event? (was it accuracy only?)
-
I believe you are getting Felix and Harry confused. Read the article again, read what Harry said and what the reporter wrote. Harry didn't write that article. Will

Some mouth to breast resuscitation is required, pronto! Will PS C cup huh? That is almost as big as Remi's.... (and don't even think of asking how I know how big Remi's tits are... )

If you don't post pictures, we don't believe you...
