rfarris 2 #1 September 27, 2003 This morning over our morning coffee, my wife out of the blue says, "I didn't get much sleep last night." As the attentative husband I try to be, I says, "well why not?" She says, "All I could think about last night was this tower I pass by every day on my way to work, and how I want to see you jump off it." "It's a really cool tower" she says, "and I really think you could pull it off." "I WANT YOU TO DO IT" I'm like, "Okay", "Just get off my ass already about this BASE jumping stuff, okay." "I'll do it, just give me time". I'm confused. Rod Edit: Congrats again Ted!!

She then proceeded to kick me out of her apartment, under orders to jump the B and call her when I got down. We talked about this on the tower a bit, but you story just ices it... you and I have two of the coolest chicks on the face of the planet! OK, Faber's sounds pretty cool too.

Bruce McConkey 'I thought we were gonna die, and I couldn't think of anyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites rfarris 2 #16 September 29, 2003 Hi Faber.... Just a follow up on my "I'll get it tomorrow evening" Tomorrow evening has come and gone. I drive out to this tower tonight, as planned. Just a slither of a moon. Some call it God's fingernail. I call it dark as hell outside. I'm doing 30mph across farmer McNasty's field, with my headlights off, bumpity.. bumpity.. bumpity. My CD player is blasting, "Cowboys from Hell"--Pantera, another reason why Texas rules. My post jump Coors Light longnecks are clanking around in my cooler. You being from Denmark, might not appreciate a good Coors Light. Let's just say BEER. I park at my predetermined spot that I picked out just as I got there, I gear up, head out to the blinking red lights. I make it to the fence that is around the tower, and I notice it has that razor wire shit on top of the normal barbed wire. My first encounter with the razor wire. I go to one of the back corners where I usually like to climb over, and BLAM.. I set off a security light. Cool. Now I can see. I begin to scale the fence. After a couple attempts to throw a leg over the razor wire, and a few deep lacerations, I say fuck it, this ain't working out. I back off the fence about 10 yards, sit down, lick my wounds, and contemplate on what to do next. About seven minutes later, the security lights turn off. I'm sitting there on the ground looking at the red lights, and I remember. A certain other jumper who I had the pleasure of jumping with last weekend, who just got his B and completed the BASE word, shared a little secret about a certain lock combination sequence. So, I walk over to the front gate, the security lights don't come on there. Bulbs must be bad. I pulls out my red lensed flashlight, finger in the lucky combination number, and CACHINK...I'm in. This Bud's for you Mr. combination lock code knowing man who just got his B and completed the word. Long story short Faber: I get to the half way point, the wind is down the wire big time. But I still climb to the top to check out the 360 degree crow's nest platform for future jumps. Climb back down, drink post jump beer. I'm working on a good drunk right about now. Not trying to be a "paper hero", just sharing a story.Rod edit: spelling sucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Faber 0 #17 September 29, 2003 Brother .... Its all about BASE... thats the nice part of it.. now.. could you send me some pics of your tower and the lock and some tricks oh and a beer as your working anywayi learned some good stuff by this UK BASEjumper about wire fences.. however im too lazy to carry stuff like that,so i never tryed it.. he he EDIT: i knows i spell like #### so i wont corect that,but just to say good storry Stay safe Stefan Faber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Zennie 0 #18 September 29, 2003 Nice story Rodney.
