flydive 0 #1 October 25, 2004 Hey, does anyone know if the bridge in TF is jumpable late in November? Specifically, is the climb out of the canyon snowed out generally? I know there are a couple of locals up there... any chance on getting an email address to get a local eyeball check before I waste a 10 hour drive from Central California?

HN1 0 #2 October 25, 2004 I dont know if the bridge is jumpable, but i do know there is going to be a huge boogie at Moab. You should think about going there instead. You can get info on it, on the vertigo base web site. they are sponsering it and it should be geat fun. Hope this helps RyanSkydiving is borring!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you're still working on gaining enough BASE experience to jump the cliffs with more reasonable margins of safety and comfort. Vertigo recommends 30 jumps prior to the Turkey boogie. Confidence in your pack job, body position, ability to deal with off heading openings, and landing near obstacles is mandatory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #6 October 26, 2004 Short answer: Yes. Long Answer: It's cold, sometimes windy and potentially stormy here by that time of year. It snowed a little this weekend, but nothing is sticking yet. I'd bet that if you are willing to take a little cold, you can make some jumps that weekend. Be aware, though, that almost all the locals will be out of town, so there is a good chance you'll be jumping alone much of the time. Also, I live in Twin Falls. If you want a spot check, drop me an email or PM. If you want my phone number, you can PM me, so that when the time comes you can just call and ask.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
