addendum to kitten commandment: thou shall be allowed to use a kitten as a wind indicator provided that it is attached to a pilotchute w/a proper base wingloading of .70 to one...

big-way...

*sigh*.....

the d70 unfortunaley doesnot have the remote shutter release necessary for in flight photos... you need his younger,lighter, more able bodied brother, the d70s.... faster,better reso, and a corded remote shutter release (or the option for a wireless, but ive heard its hit or miss mostly) go nikon....

couldnt you just go pick up the bicycle? granted it would be a twisted mess, but how much damage can bike(non motorized...) vs. rock produce? i ask this because this is an exit i would love to do next time in moab....

you can jump w/ winds down the wire....

"disneyland" and " that big crane downtown"...

bump....

barbra walters: do you ever take,like, a glass of wine at a wedding or something? bush: no, ive had no alcohol since ive decided to quit.. bw: are you afraid youre an alcoholic? gwb: no bw: then, why wouldnt, couldnt you take, you know, i dont know, a "happy new yea, heres a sip of champagne"? gwb: because i just decided to quit bw: period? gwb: when i said i was quitting, i was quitting. and i think that speaks to my discipline and my focus.. HA HA...

" on a summer night in 1986, spent the night with his wife and friends at the broadmoor resort in co springs in celebration of his and some friends 40th birthdays that year, bush partied heartily. he woke up with a raging hangover. to his stunned friends, he simply bagan announcing that he had made a decision never to drink again it was a spontaneous pledge, but one he has kept, says bush. as he put it to me a few years ago when i was preparing a story about the contrasting ways in whcih he and ann richards viewed addiction treatment programs in the state prison system (in sum: he has more faith in the cold turkey approach) "i quit for the rest of my life and if you catch me drinking, its not going to be a good sign for your old buddy george" -sam howe verhoevek "is there room on the republican ticket for another george bush?" new york times magazine, 09.13.1998

travis pastrana eat your heart out.....

WTF?

does it have anything to do with the blown out leg wing? or the mising left leg of the upper jumper? .. i dunno

and next time murphy knocks hard enough on your shoulder to dislocate it punch that fucker in the nose....

FUCK YEAH!... nice fucking work dude.... you can hear how amped you are in the vid once you clear the cliff.. listen to the breathing... fucking stellar work... glad your alive..

fuckin a... congrats.... howsabout a gamblin pool... put yer money on a date, winner take all.. my 20 is on jan 11th... my birthday..

..ouch... 500ft an hr... i think we all know what that is like...

second that..... and it was all 3chip and/or hd... look at the color sauration in the triax trailers, and compare that to what you normally would get out of a "regular" camcorder....

use it as a cutaway canopy on a under-rig harness, deploy subterminally...

at a recent funeral for a friend of mine, someone asked me pretty much the same question.... i got pissed off for a second, then stated : "pretty much the polar opposite of this...."

couldnt have said it better myself... where else can you call the dzo and say "we (at least three people) want to do nite jumps tomorrow" and thats it.. nite jumps tomorrow... and for 15$ to altitude...

this isnt really related to base, so it could be moved if tom sees fit, however, it may be of use to anyone who's currently as broke as me... check out http://www.airtran.com/wendys_offer.aspx for 64 cups, you can get a free round trip airfare anywhere airtran flies... i went dumpster diving and satisfied half the required cups in about one hour... reccomendation: wear gloves... edit to fix url...

a bowl of kindbud never hurt anyone either.... and some good techno...

.....

i think that however cool said game could be, i dont forsee any major consoles picking it up, or for that matter, not much of a demographic for it either...say every basejumper and uspa member bought it... what does that amount to? a few thousand copies sold? i dont have any experience at all on the "inside" of video game development/marketing so i may be wrong.. also... you would have to look at the other aspects..(without starting up the videogames influnce behavior argument) what can are you opening up basically laying out in the public domain "how to base jump"? (i understand the internet,dz.com,and basewiki are all public domain, but thats a bit different from a vg that plays out right in front of you.....) isnt that what all the site naming rules are about? not just here but in the real world as well? to keep people without the prerequisite experience from using whatever gear they can find and hucking thier dorm? and that b was only 90 feet tall... oops... now, dont get me wrong... if said game did exist, i would buy and play the hell out of it, but i dont really know how i would feel in the electronics section watching johnny 8yearold saying "im going slider up" or to the next level, watching him take a digital dw into the talus/sidewalk/river over and over.... i think if such a product were pursued, it woud be best fit as a pc based game, distributed amongst friends, not as a national level, "extreme sports" style game.... until then, we've always got gta...
