I can't get ahold of my rigger and I'm up for a repack next week. I'll be going to couch on Fri. and I was hoping I could get it repacked down there. So if anyone is a rigger or knows one that will be there let me know. I'm desperate! Thanks Gun Powder Eric -

It seems like theres just as many BASE jumpers as there are college students "writing a paper" on BASE jumping!

Hey Justin, Make sure your shoes are tied!!!!

I can see why some are confused. We were jumping off an ice shield which might paint a better picture. If I knew how to draw a pic and attach it I would, but I don't. As far as it being a crosswind jump, that was'st exactly true. I wasn't jumping directly with the wind, it was probably 10-15 degrees off. I used my front risers after the canopy cleared because it wasn't the quickest way to get away from the wire. As I stated earlier I was jumping with an experienced. I have practiced avoidance drills dozens of times. I took a FJC last ear so I do know a few things about jumping. The people that jump to conclusions about me or bring my ability into question do nothave a right to do so. You don't know me and you weren't there. You don't know what happened. Eric

Winds were less than 5mph. I got on my left riser because I turned to the right. After I hit the wire I pulled both front risers down in an attempt to dive away from the wire, which luckily worked. I backed away from the launch becaus I was freaking out. It took about 15min. to convince myself to jump.
-
It was a cross wind jump. I started off jumping in the right direction but backed off from the launch I was supposed to jump from and when I stepped back I inadvertantly jumped about 45 degrees to the right . the wind was coming from the left of me.

Well I made my first jump from an A last night. 490ft hand held about a 2 sec.delay. It was my first jump on new gear. I opened with a 90 degree right and got on my left riser right away but it was too late. I hit the wire and my canopy wrapped around it ans started sliding down. A second later I was flying free towards the landing zone. I got lucky. First jump from an A First jump on new gear First wire strike I owe three cases of beer. Eric

I Fractured my T-12 about a year and a half ago. It sucked.

It always surprises me how skewed some people's perception of risk is and how little thought they actually put into these things. My toughts exactly

If only I had some gear...

How much for the monkey?

I took the FJC offered by Apex. It was well worth the money. Plus I got a free t-shirt out of it!

Has anyone ever seen the episode of cops with the skydivers in it? Its been a while since I saw it but I think they were doing a demo jump and a couple of them ended up in the water.

Can Your Business and/or Skills Benefit the BASE Community?
ericmillionaire replied to base428's topic in Archive
I make ammunition. It might help to keep the cops off your back. More than likely though it would just get more of them to show up. -
I'm in the same boat as you Almost. but I also have the problem of having no gear. It sucks. I just took a FJC and I cannot use the info that I learned.

Another death from the non-lethal Taser
ericmillionaire replied to lawrocket's topic in Speakers Corner
know this is an old post but I thought I'd share my story. Yesterday at school I got shot with a taser. Everyone in my class was offered the chance to do it and being the naive people that we were we all said yes. It fuckin sucked. Every muscle in my body ached for a few hours afterwards and I think one of the prongs broke off in my back though cause its pretty swollen still. Three weeks ago we all got sprayed with O.C. In my opinion the O.C. was much better than the taser The O.C. hurt like hell- the taser caused very little pain but I would rather be sprayed with the O.C. again because the taser gave me a weird feeling that creeped me out. Just the feeling of those prongs going into me and the 50,000 volts shooting through my body was enough to convince me to never resist a police officer. Good times though. Gun Powder Eric
