  1. I was Chuck's instructor out at Perris....actually Jim Wallace's school......Jim went to Chucks house in LA to train him, then the next day Chuck came out for a couple of tandem jumps....after the first jump...Chuck wanted to go for another. Chuck was really cool....his wife too.

    Helmets

    i have around 350 base jumps and once a had a pretty serious accident, short story is, i hit the ground about 50 mph(from a BASE jump)- injuries were, two broken feet, dislocated shoulder......rocks lodged in numerous areas of my body but i was wearing a simple protec helmet, they are not very stylish but they work.....i will vouch for that. yeah, i suffered a concusion, but no helmet would have stopped that from happening.
  3. Some things I would like to mention about the new BASE DVD Around the World II. The late Dwain Weston, Slim and Rob Tompkins are some of the jumpers in this video rippin it up with some sweet aerials. There was a comment made earlier about this video seeming to be commercial and with an agenda........not at all. It is compiled footage from Basic Research now Apex BASE. The footage is from many of their travels all over te world and Hollwood productions involving BASE jumps. So with that, yes....it's a BR product, but not once in the video is there a plug for a first BASE course, gear sales or anything else......just cool stuff that they have had oppertunities to be involved with. There is a really cool commentary option in the menu which allows you to hear Todd and Anne chat about what you are seeing.......it pulls you into the video because they explain what it took to organize and perform many of these jumps, plus they are telling you who you are watching, etc.......a cool feature indeed. You can purchae the DVD through Para Gear and Square One. Square One does not have it posted on their site yet, but you can call the 800#, it is listed on Para Gears site, Skydiving Magazine's site and Action Air. Many other small retailers are carrying it as well. It's only 30 bucks, and a cool DVD to add to your BASE video collection. Thanks for your support!
  4. There's a new video on the market by Basic Research, it's called Around the World II. You can purchse it though various skydiving retailers such as Square One and Para Gear. You can also order it direct via Basic Research. Has anyone seen it yet, and if so.......any comments would great.
