Wingsuits and tracking suits are fun.

The best way to get her to stop with the stupid questions is to stick your cock in her mouth. She's hot. Keep her around for like 7 weeks. edited to add... A giggle? A giggle? Strike the "cock" comment.

Why some jumpers (me) don't take others (you) seriously.

Listen everybody... I'm banning you all for a few days bec... oh, wait. Damn it... why do I not have all the superhuman abilities I desire?! What were we talking about? -

I didn't read Jimmy's post, yet I concur with whatever was in there because the title was funny. We seriously need a "Best of" video containing only day blazes and rail bails. -
In the winter, just about everyone.

Good call.

If anyone has issues with you, the experienced wingsuit pilot, buzzing them without warning, then I recommend approaching and leaving from behind, so that they won't see you. Fly right over their canopy spanwise, but don't let your shadow show through or they might look for you. Problem solved.

Katana is my wingsuit canopy. I made over 400 jumps with this combo last year without a single line twist. Just keep your knees together and your shoulders and hips even. If you are still getting squirrelly openings, try tightening your straps down more (though this marginally decreases the performance of some wingsuits). Edited to add: I'm a total trash packer. I just shove it in there til it fits. Openings are far more body position than packing.
-
I can't add to this, I can only second it. But what do I know, I've only flown in close proximity to canopies about 600 times.

You just tell them that they are fucking up and are going to die. Verbatim, like so: "You are fucking up and you are going to die if you continue to pull shit like that." It got my attention early on. Now I'm a good boy.

However, it absolutely will not forgive your sins...or any piloting mistakes you may make. True, but it can send you to Heaven.

Wingsuits are fun!

Loaded at 2.0, it's Jesus is parachute form.

The very simple method I've seen for the proper BASE canopy size goes like so: Weight of your naked body + 100. At 225, you'll want a 330.
-
this is not/should not be a written rule... it is a simple question of respect and normal behaviour. Worldwide. Exactly my point.
-
Common sense should be enough. With so many objects and so many ways to jump, it's impossible to set up rules that apply to everything. It really is just common sense. The fact that written guidelines exist indicate that a lot of people are in over their heads by BASE jumping. Avoid evidence of illegal jumps like being seen or damaging property. Why? Not because it's in so-and-so's PDF, but because you can be charged with a crime, and therefore punished, and it might make the object in question more difficult to jump without getting caught. Plan your jump, leave yourself outs, stay aware of your environment, and don't try things too far beyond your known ability at less than familiar objects. Why? Not because of some loosely written code, but because you don't want to get hurt or killed. Reminder: BASE jumping is fucking dangerous. If you don't have the level of common sense needed to dynamically make the right decisions before, during, and after a jump, then BASE jumping is not for you. If that's the case, hopefully your smarter buddies will let you know before you get selected out or arrested. No number of guidelines will help. These strict specific rules usually serve to allow underqualified (slow reactions, bad judgment) people to continue to jump and also stirs shit up when an enforcer calls out a heads up jumper that didn't follow an unnecessary "rule". If you need written rules to dicate your BASE career, then maybe you should retire. If you don't get it without "reading the rules", then you never will.

Oh, man. I'm milking that for all it's worth. I want every hot chick to see that show, and when they found out that I wingsuit BASE... it will mildly negate my unfavorable looks and personality. Yes!
-
BASE numbers are a novelty at best. They tell nothing of the jumper's experience. I don't have one, and have been qualified for one for over four years. If I got one now, I'd end up somewhere between 1000 and 1100, right? I have a good number of jumps from objects all over the world and some insane one in a billion experiences. The last thing I need is BASE 1089 (random number) or BASE 519 (also random number) putting my experiences beneath theirs simply because I have a higher number.
-
That's a slacker attitude and is only true when it comes to using ecstacy..
-
That image is all over the web. It's more relevant to flame wars than the disabled. But that's besides the point: When did all these BASE jumpers become giant politically correct pussies? Ethics in BASE are scarce. Screw all those guidelines. BASE jumping is fun. That's why we do it. It's total freedom. There are really only two things you have to do outside of jumping itself to maintain that fun: protect your people and objects. Fuck the specifics. It's common sense. If what you're doing isn't adding surveillance to an object or hurting anyone, then huck it with your buddies, grab a beer, and say funny shit.

I love that jump. Will have to hit you guys up next time I'm in the area.
