To add something to that: Maggot did not believe in DBS before the wall strike! Memento Audere Semper 903

Gus, We're planning to. Let me know if you will need help! later Memento Audere Semper 903

Yes, And Gus is one of the best riggers I have ever met. Memento Audere Semper 903

I would not buy one anymore. Memento Audere Semper 903

Here Nick, I fixed it for ya Memento Audere Semper 903

I got a 1981 Warp III harness that put out at least 800 different students and has at least 5000 jumps if not many, many more. I use it for unpacked BASE jumps...it's still going strong and I will tear my body apart before it breaks. Memento Audere Semper 903

Oh my, I just saw your new avatar, I could not stop laughing and I'm at work! Memento Audere Semper 903

Andrea, You have misunderstood my point altogether. Change the title of the thread from Corliss gets busted in NYC to Felix gets busted in NYC and I guarantee you the responses on the thread would have been much, much different. That's my point, as simple as that! Memento Audere Semper 903

Friday Maggot turned 31. Knowing the real truth of spacetime Maggot actually gets younger each year that passes! Friday team Ninja (also spelled Ninga, according to Maggot) spent the windy day BASE jumping, painting graffiti, and H&P from planes (pic 1 and 2). That night, Maggot celebrated his BD doing what he does best (pic 3). Saturday morning we hit our 300 A (pic 4, 5, 6). In the afternoon the team took Maggot's GF for her first tandem and speed star (pic 7,8) That night we hit our 240 S where I hit some trees on landing due to a 120 degree off after a roll-over. Little Buddy also rolled over and almost died freefalling through a big ass tree after an off-heading as well. We did figure out the reasons behind those off-headings by the way. We are all OK and without injuries! Maggot, being invincible, made a flawless jump. Life's good! Memento Audere Semper 903

So for as long as you don't death camp people, you are allowed to break any codes of our own "ethics" By the way Tom, let's go down the BASE ethics "etiquette" you wrote and figure out how many your buddy Jeb broke: Respect: the sport, the sites, and other jumpers. Leave no trace. Contact the locals. Again I could not give a rat's ass about Jeb's attempt and I am very sorry he pussyed out and did not jump. What gets under my skin is that certain individuals are free to do whatever they fuck they want with the BASE community supporting them while other ones are constantly under fire (Felix, Shane, Miles, Jimmy H to name a few). Correct me if I am wrong but it's my understanding that you are one of those advocating for proper and responsible BASE jumping and the legalization of BASE in National Parks. If you think Jeb's "stunt" did any good for the BASE community and the future of the sport in general, then my hat's off for your blindness. Tom, make no mistake, Jeb does not care about the sport, all he cares is publicity (his own one), he just happened to be a very likable non-cocky guy but his agenda is very, very clear.

Russel is THE rock star! Right on man! Memento Audere Semper 903

Can you explain what lead you to this conclusion? Tom, are you for real on this one? The reason why I am pissed off is not because of the fact that Jeb attempted the jump (and too bad with all that commotion he did not make it) it's because when it comes to "BASE ethics" the community has different measures for different people. Please Tom, do some introspection on this one, and be honest with yourself...would have you felt differently if Miles, Shane, or Jimmy H attempted the jump? You know the answer. PS Jeb by the way has only one name in his BASE agenda and that name is Jeb... Memento Audere Semper 903

Maggot as sad as it sounds, you are 100% correct on this one. BASE ethics sounds more and more like a Billy Cristal's joke. Memento Audere Semper 903

I can try to articulate this in a civil manner but I feel there is no other way: To all: GET A FUCKING CLUE FOLKS! Get a clue, really! It's OK for Jeb to daybalze the living crap out of anything he pleases but it's not OK for Felix to do his things and for Miles to jump off the railing!!! If Miles, Shane or Jimmy tried to pull something like this off the response from the community would have been much, much different. GET A FUCKING CLUE FOLKS! Memento Audere Semper 903

Believe it or not I know of few Tandem Masters that "set the droge" on their sport rig due to too many tandem jumps and too little "fun jumps"! This system will address this problem! Memento Audere Semper 903

W/out knowing the past the future cannot be predicted. I've tried DS both slider down and up and I'm still here to tell the story. Memento Audere Semper 903

A little off topic but when you spend all that money in taking a FJC, do they actually teach you anything or your ADD kicks in and nothing can be absorbed? And you are not the only one...most come back from a FJC without even knowing how to pack a BASE tarp... Maybe I should move to TF and death camp anybody for 1000 bucks. The more I read this nonsense, the more Maggot makes some sense PS This is not attack, just a personal observation based on direct experience with FJC graduates. Flame fucking away. Memento Audere Semper 903

It's official...I'll be the first one to test out the system...nothing official from Sunpath...this is a Nitro Rigging conversion. Memento Audere Semper 903

Jerry, The second picture of the "graffiti" is more believable: you've misspelled "approved" Memento Audere Semper 903

He's over 30, looks 16, acts 12, that's why we love him Memento Audere Semper 903

"Best" referring to other skydiving reserves! Memento Audere Semper 903

You are one irresponsible, unethical, bad bad jumper. The only cure for you is a brand new set of Nitro Rigging risers with a tensile strength of 2 LBS. By the way, how did you manage to spell "BASE Site" correctly? Memento Audere Semper 903

Really? Can you find a Mojo 240 for me, PLEASE! Memento Audere Semper 903

Such a canopy existed: It was called the Dragon sold by Vertigo: A PD reserve with the trim of the Lightning. PD reserves although very well built have a very shallow angle of incidence and poor pressurization slider down. If you are jumping a big wall with a WS then they might work OK. By the way, even unvented Dragons open poorly slider down while vented Dragons open great but have little flare power. Reserve for reserve, a super raven makes the best BASE canopy and needs not much "butching". Memento Audere Semper 903
