skymick 0 #1 December 12, 2003 Hey guys, just curious as to why its a big no-no to publicise locations of base sites etc or to show vids/pics in the public domain yet there are vids out there like Fistful of F1-11 etc that show BASE jumps from well known buildings in Oz (as an eample) in broad daylight. From what I've been reading about it, this seems like a major fuck up as it can burn a site and also as vids like this are shown at DZs whuffos can view footage like this. Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on it? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well considering the video in question (Fistful) was released by the ABA and is a very popular video among BASE/skydivers (and rightly so!

There was a similar discussion on the ABA site not long ago about the publication of a jump done from a high profile building currently under construction in the Sydney CBD. I believe that these are not viewed as protected local objects, just fleeting opportunities.

Seriously, its pretty obvious you've never been to an ABA video night...most skydivers have....much of the public has... But to answer the thread question, its not polite to burn a building or site. No-one particularly likes getting busted... That said, I'm yet to hear of anyone honestly getting done because of FFOF1-11. If anything, more idiots with piss all respect and connections probably tried to scout sites from it.....and nearly got themselves busted....xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

It really pissed me off as another person was busted because of this video . I sued the person that sold the video and won as he did not have a signed release and forced the assholes that bought the video to never broadcast it again . My face was very clear in the video and could have fucked me over . If you want your face plastered all over the place go big baby , but for me and my crew that has NEVER been arrested we will stay in the shadows . This is the main reason we jump together and very rarely allow a new person into the group . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites 0
