will my mom do? so you're on of the 50 people in the world that lives in wyoming? how sad...

one of the product descriptions says that it's "lighter" too.. "It can have an optional Quick Release chest adapter which reduces weight as well."
-
damn you sangiro... just as i get in to base jumping and start working on a platform like that, you have to come up with something.
-
I'm actually pretty pumped about that too. I can't count how many times I was told not to go, and after I decided to, was told to video the carnage. it was a good weekend

I would guess greece... if you look at classified ads the person holds... they are all listed in greece.

I've never met the guy, but the only reason I'm critical of him is because (i heard) he failed to appear at his court date for the previous base jump he was busted for. quote from "base ethics" and I personally think running from the law causes more problems for the community then not. which sounds worse: 1) base jumper convicted of tresspassing (etc, etc..) 2) base jumper brought in after missing court date for tresspassing man up and take the punishment.

I just went to base wiki today... this message popped up: "That's right, BASE WIKI is no more. Jump safe..." what's going on?!?!

A sport that may be more intense then BASE jumping (Land Diving)

if it doesn't involve boxes, it's not cool. -
the weakest point is the knot.. since it loses 40% of it strength at that point. all the ones I've seen break next to the knot... I'll try and get a pretty little chart out of poynters, that might add well to this conversation. [Poynters Vol.2 - pg347 - 8.80]
-
you forgot, the weather.
-
ha ha ha... and you never replied... because you knew how much kansas sucked.
-
i'm just curious... who doesn't think this was unreasonably sketchy, and why? ...or are these other people just playing devil's advocate?
-
agreed.
-

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED THIS LINE OF STORMS IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG WINDS OF 40 TO 50 MPH... HAIL...AND VERY HEAVY RAIN. i love kansas... *gag*

somebody needs to go back to elementary school. my city is called the little apple, not the big apple ;-)
-
most of the ones i've seen are square, here's from my mojo. i called them load bearing seams, because it sounded right... but it's prolly not.

it's in the "serious" version of this thread http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=5692

i said 400 because i knew it was at least that... i vaguely remember there being a 50 in the number... a better guess would be 450 or 550... but don't quote me on that.

bounce up and down in the harness until you break loose!!!!! now THAT would be a cool unpacked jump.
