can we please just delete this whole fucking thread? please? or move it to the bonfire or something... i can count on one hand the actual number of active base jumpers involved at this point... scotts personal life, drama between his girlfriend and family and such is really none of anyones buisness, so please... just stfu and go somewhere else... all of you. i think tree and jason said it best... im off to do some jumping.. in real life... off of real stuff...

i had a similar issue, and found the solution was to make a concious effort to keep your legs wide as possible,pointing your toes, and stretching forward with your arms to keep tension scross the entire wing surface... hope this helps..

so let me get a few thigs straight.. 1- you are a cop 2- if you stumbled across an illegal base jump, you would be stoked? 3-and the jumper gets to leave scot-free? because that is fucking sweet...

well i was fairly misunderstood..but im not too worried about it.. talking about wingsuitin and base on the internet is alot like jacking off... nowhere as good as the real thing and makes you feel stupid, but somepeople do it way too much.

... yeah fucking right... the biggest difference between chuck-flites and yuri-flights, are the intensity level... just about any competent 150+ skydiver can take a suit out of a plane... however, it takes an extremely rare breed of person, to exit a cliff, and fly at a minimum glide ratio in order to survive.. not to mention the huge fucking balls necessary as well as the mental capacity and concentration to make world class flights... every time.... and certainly out of reach of any "average boogie flocker" when did dz.com become a popularity contest?

now whos the asshole who packed that 180? on jump 13 no less......

does anyone have this file downloaded? i wouldd like to have copy, w/out all this buffering crap....

yeah, talked to naptown, sounds like a good weekend.... see you guys this weekend... and thanks to wendys dumpsters all over town for providing me with free airfare...

will be in the hood friday nite - monday dusk... anybody wanna play? 904.449.8081

i think that desgin (in a lesser and more dangerous form) minu s leg wing, was experiemented with and jumped in the 1950's.. pretty nice photoshop work btw...

can you elaborate? im not following something i guess... i can see (and have experienced)how a crosswind can influence opening heading, but was of the understanding that tailwinded a = good...

no.. i was more making a point about the general state of affairs here on the cyberbasezone....

and the irony reveals itself....

ypu know whats even better? judgemental people, who make assumptions about others, thier intent, or thier actions based entierly upon keystrokes on internet forums, are free to add useless commentary of thier own... bdbs, shitty jumps and carnage....

well if its official then put me down for zero basejumps, but 1100 FLOP's...

.... base is easy... ...just ...let ..go ..... and everything else will just fall into place... you went through all the effort of finding(and have the privelege of actually having) a mentor why hold yourself from the most real experience of yor life?

..that would make a quality sig line....

also keeping in mind that they generally overestimate the tower height a bit, to give a buffer zone for pilots.... always double check w/rangefinder or alti....

now that is fucking sweet.... id hypothesize that we will see that technology find its way into every digital camera, eventually....

yeah... a really good throw...

so... i have a 300 ft object, super clean, low bust factor, 40 ft overhung, nice lz... the list goes on... ive been at exit point twice, no problem. does anybody want to fucking jump this thing w/me? or will i be doing solos? feel free to pm me or call... 904.449.8081... will be going tonite...

{sssssssssssssssssssswwwooooooooooooooooosssssshhhhhhhhhhhh} you: wtf was that? me: my point. it just swooped the fuck out of you....

... i went to my first bd last year, did my first base, and had a trippin good time... i also paid the 50 bones, watched the entire thing once, and reviewed my jumps numerous times... shortly thereafter it found a home on the shelf, where it has more or less remained.. this dosent change the fact that i thoroughly enjoyed being able to review my jumps, frame by frame. watching "them on the viewfinder of my buddies camera with someone blaring random music in the background over the car stereo." imo, is better than not watching them at all. .............................. in the past, as far as i know, the bd videos have been produced with the intent to show each and every jump... one year, i believe they even had a split screen, lz / exit point video.... one of the "perks" of bd, is not having to fuck around with video on your own, knowing that someone else has it covered... chill out, have fun, buy the video, and watch it later.... i dont mind waiting longer for quality, be it in meals, container manufacture, or anything else. i dont really think thats the issue here, and certainly not the message i was trying to convey.... im a professional photographer, and we work almost entirely w/volume... numbers with commas if you know what i mean.so i, of all people can certainly relate to being unable to please all customers...but, if you are losing money two years in a row, then perhaps you should reevaluate your workflow... you should also consider the fact that you are producing a produc for a niche market, and only 400 of them (jumpers) at that... and consider the probability that not everyone is going to buy a copy.... the potential for profit is low... potential solution? supplement lagging video sales with other product...ie: t-stakes/tshirts/decals etc etc... ............. a few people have mentioned that it was stated upfront twice that the format was to be changed, once at the mandatory breifing... i was at that meeting, as was 428, the organizer of the event, and he was unaware of the intened change as well.... i guess i should have paid more attention overall the video was imo mediocore... even as a boogie edit... last years was way better (again imo) i get the impression, after last years product, that quite a few corners were cut, and certain jumpers were favored... to the point of 3 different angles of the same jump in one case... all in all, in the grand scheme of things, is it a big deal? no. of course not we all drop a 50 spot on dinner, a bag of grass, or a bottle of liquor everyonce in a while... overall does the video suck? again, of course not... if i was a whuffo,or a first time bd participant, id probably think it was just grand, just look at all those crazies... but from a (barely) experienced perspective, it was just a bit less than i expected.... so why am i awake at 3am, whining about some "poxy video"? i dunno. I guess this is just my (overly)explained vote for jump-canopy-land-jump. maybe well meet at some exit point sometime... until then... edit to add... if you need small batch dvd runs in the future, on the cheap, feel free to pm me...

well heres one.... where is the jon drgan/bill bird ash jump? i would think that would have made the cut... seeing as that will never happen again...

ahoy... got my copy today, and as far as im concerned, you can have it back.... i guess because i didnt do a) my first jump
