drew7682 0 #1 July 30, 2004 Does anyone have any info or stories related to the rocket belt/pack contraption that features briefly in BASE tape no.2? Did those things ever get widely used? Are any of the guys and girls in the Boenish BASE tapes still jumping 25 years on?!? (except, sadly Carl of course.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #2 July 30, 2004 Rick, Rick and Randy are still jumping. I know that Mike Allen's niece is compiling a bunch of the old footage with the help of several old timers (including, I believe Jean), to make a historical BASE film. Regarding the rocket pack: I'll search for it, or you can too. It's a huge, epic story involving theft, betrayal, prison time, and fatalities. I think the story is told somewhere in the History and Trivia forum.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
