I believe the highest was a cliff on acid, but could've also been a bridge on mushrooms. I'm not quite sure how to compare apples and oranges here since blow probably doesn't count 'coz we would never ever do it. The lowest must have been an anal orgy with a virgin underage female base student i promised to marry but dumped at a lousy freestander instead. bsbd! Yuri.

Yep, a short sinful one is so much better! bsbd! Yuri.

Yo ! Where's a simple "Yes" option? I cannot vote on existing ones. Many BASE jumping students these days are required to watch accident and bounce footage. Skydiving did become incredibly soft and mainstream, but it still helps to know - on emotional level - exactly what you are dealing with. bsbd! Yuri.

That event will happen in France, quite naturally bsbd! Yuri.

Yeah, i'd love to see GWB's hanging live. bsbd! Yuri.

Regardless of their number of jumps: claiming that a big wall is safer than TF automatically excludes one from "experienced" list. bsbd! Yuri.

Bummer! I just got off crutches and you're welcome to use them, but they are regular ones - not hands free. bsbd! Yuri.

There is frequently somebody having sex in a hot tub right at Holiday Inn If you have to go to a club to watch hot chicks strip during Bridge Day weekend... you're really missing something out!!! In that case your last hope is a local classic, Southern Xposure at the end of rt. 19. http://www.stripclublist.com/c.asp?c=14963 bsbd! Yuri.

Yo ! I am curious why nobody brought up a subject of a lawsuit yet? While this is a ridiculous idea for most of the world, in US it may shift the balance of a mandatory AAD battle. While a fatality caused by AAD is less likely then the one prevented by AAD, recent trends have been shortening this gap a bit. A lawsuit brought up by an AAD-related accident at a mandotory-AAD DZ will have exponentially higher chances to succeed. It will be supported by a lot of very emotional people - this time not whuffos but skydivers. While i regularily hate lawsuits i may just make an exception and support one too. It obviously is an owner's right to require AADs, but it will put him in a very vulnerable position when somebody unwilling to use an AAD, but forced to do so, goes in. At bare minimum, there needs to be a common-sense compromise with reasonable no-AAD or AAD-off exceptions (swooping, CRW etc). Hopefully the shaky balance of risk vs. benefits of AADs will remain with jumpers and not DZs or national organisations. In US in particular, the ever-evil lawyers may do some good here, for a change. Oh, to answer the poll: i have an AAD and i would continue to jump at such DZ every now and then. I use common sense, and like to feel as safe as possible thus keeping my AAD on most of the time. I would turn it off in certain circumstances, though, using the same common sense. I suspect that forcing one to turn it on in such sircumstances, given the very public recent data, may go beyond civil lawsuit directly towards attempted mansloughter charges. bsbd! Yuri.

Yo! This is the most creative "money for nothing" idea i have ever seen! $300k in a month and ticking... he may just get the whole million and then some. The purity and beauty of the whole thing is amazing. http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/ bsbd! Yuri.

I have no problem with leaving a confirmed dead body and alerting authorities via a pay phone. This is frequently a standard agreed-on in advance protocol. However, removing the rig is a very bad idea - it probably will bring a criminal charge by itself. A bounce will be treated as a crime scene, you do not want to touch anything. And of course, never leave if the death is not absolutely, positively confirmed. bsbd! Yuri.

Not any more - it now roams (free) on Highland and has good reception on top and at the LZ. SMS doesn't work very well, though. bsbd! Yuri.

ROTFLMAO I just can't stop laughing, this definitely made my day

The only defense and the whole idea is to get narked Trimix is the way for anything else. A simple parallel is jumping off a roof vs. taking the stairs. A practicality and safety of stairs is undoubtful, however there are some who like to jump. Deep air records are indeed gnarly, however 150..250ft playground is quite comparable to BASE in many ways bsbd! Yuri.

Hard to answer clearly. What are the rewards of BASE? "Adrenalin" does not explain it, but does play a role. Likewise, narcosis is awesome, but it is only one of the elements. The state of mind it puts you in is a real reward for those who like such a sick feeling bsbd! Yuri.

I just got off crutches (ACL surgery) and won't make it. You guys will have to party twice as hard! Will be at Bridge Day, though! bsbd! Yuri.

This is what whuffos say about skydiving, and skydivers say about base In reality either one is a technical activity with a certain level of risk and reward, requiring specific skills and experience. Same goes for deep air. bsbd! Yuri.

Diving deep on air, naturally Anything beyond 40m. It is as old as scuba itself, and not a favorite subject in the mags. bsbd! Yuri.

Yo ! This would be more appropriate for SCUBA forums, but deep air subject has as bad a reputation there as BASE was in Parachutist a few years ago So, anybody here who likes it? bsbd! Yuri.

Yo! An answer totally depends on a particual aircraft. bsbd! Yuri.

Uh, must be a misunderstanding. Everybody deserves respect here! The post was about activity requiring more respect i.e. attention, concentration and physical effort for a much longer time. bsbd! Yuri.

Absolutely! And climbing demands respect for hours or even days non-stop vs. one minute of ff and another couple under canopy. Hell yes, if you do it right! I love deep air bsbd! Yuri.

Yo ! Had ACL reconstruction surgery (cadver graft) done 12 days ago. Going to start physical therapy on Monday. I would love to hear any stories about the post-op and rehab period. Especially interested in experience and opinions on how to work out as intensively and efficiently as possible, without stretching or damaging the ligament. bsbd! Yuri.

Congratulations! It is almost as good as an average jump by an average Norgie... but a huge achivement for NorCal crew. bsbd! Yuri.

Lots of people are currently having fun at tunnel pilots expense bsbd! Yuri.
