    I assume most people like me spend time at work looking at their "favorite forums! - and not just at lunchtime!!! - so I wondered how many hours a week you spend on these forums and how much time its costing your company on your hourly rate - cause I bet added up its gonna scare the economists!!! Be safe............ be wasting resouces and corporate money! M
  10. phuq! - you are not the first person I have heard say this - I looked it up and man it was kinda strange! - apparently normally found in children - but apparently some adults - and he turned to me and said "you know I think you are ADHD" - but have not found any info to confirm - PM me your "correllary theory" on this! Be Safe................. but dont be careful!

    Real Fear

    I have recently read a few quotes from experienced jumpers about fear - and how real it is for them. The first time I really felt "true fear" was the first object I did that I had planned myself and jumped alone (except groundcrew) - and it was also the lowest I had ever done. Alone on top of my "A" 220' above my friends. I truely experienced absolute fear. I questioned what on earth I was doing there and thought about many many things. (obviously GC were getting annoyed by this time) This really was the real deal and what BASE means to me. You are alone and this should be for you and only you. I wish I was more of a writer as I could explain all the things I was thinking - but alas I am an accountant so cant communicate with human beings! I only lost the fear when I "accepted" what i was about to do and got onto the edge - then I was so very much relaxed - The jump went well - but did not get laid that night so all in all a reasonable and not great day! I wondered if the more "experienced" jumpers could relay some of the more "fear" enducing parts of BASE - cause I never imagined that I could feel fear like that until then - trouble is I like it - but can see why people stop jumping after 10 or so jumps. Anyway - bored at home injured and slowly getting drunk!! Be Safe................. be scared.... M
  12. I am quite new to this sport so still can remember clearly the feelings I had when I started....... Good analagy Dog...... cause thats what its like - I spent all that time "training" at the DZ for my first BASE experience and the only thing it has similar to a skydive is that you are suspended under a canopy........ nothing else is similar - even control of a canopy for the first several jumps slider off with steering lines leading straight from the tail - is a different ball game! - No matter how many skydives you have and no matter how much CRW / Accuracy / blah blah blah experience you have - you are now in a foreign environment with your head racing at 200mph and only 5 seconds to land a canopy into a gnarly area............... its not a romantic idealistic video screen vision of fun........ its very real and it scares the living shit outta me............! but you have to love it !!! Be Safe.............. & dont tell my mum M
  13. Also I would add that just gaining the experience at the DZ to have the experience on paper to perhaps be ready for BASE still does not mean you are ready - I think your mindset also plays a big part - I know alot of people with alot of skydiving experience and the skills to perhaps get into BASE but although they want to get into it and they know they want to do it - "its just not right" for them at this point in time. You will know (or at least I hope you do) that you are "now ready". or perhaps they just like saying they want to but never will............who knows............. Be Safe.................. unless shes a virgin with no womb!! M
  14. Nah mate - but seeing as I have this name on 2 other boards thought best for consistancy!! Be Safe............. Oh and wont make it to your party - im in plaster and cant drive!!................... oh well the women are now safe! BUT if you have any Sub-20 yr olds going let me know!! Be Safe........................... unless shes a virgin and on the pill!.............. Cya

  16. Have to agree Beyond Extreme I think looses its way a little bit...... but is a good video Fist full of F1-11 just keeps you glued all the way through and has some outstanding footage Fixed2 is starting to look a little dated BUT the girder shots and A strike still make me cringe!! I would suggest FFoF11 and then fixed2 these are the only things keeping me sane whilst injured!! Be Safe!!
