crwper 7 #27 June 12, 2005 QuoteOk, I will throw this out to everyone. When you got into base was it for legal base or illegal base. I ask this as i am in the process of getting ready to get into base but i have my own set of reasons and they are not all for the pure excitment of sneaking around. I'm probably telling you something you already know, but I'm going to say it anyway. I don't think anyone's reasons for jumping are as simple as a poll with two choices, and part of me wishes we'd stop trying to sort BASE jumpers into discrete categories. You will probably share the exit point with a lot of people. Most of them, you will never know precisely what their reasons for jumping are. You'll be lucky if you can even narrow down your own reasons. Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vandev 0 #28 June 12, 2005 I think i may have worded my question in not quiet the right way. what i ment was if i was only intrested in doing high cliff jumps only as opposed to fliking any object, would i be looked at differently? would you find base jumpers that stay with say certain objects and never do others to be not a BASE jumper? I still find it hard to get this question right... In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out....

crwper 7 #29 June 13, 2005 I think you stated your question fine, but I didn't answer very clearly. Let me know if I'm still way off the mark. Online discussion tends to focus on your beliefs. But in real life, what's usually way more important is how you represent your beliefs. If we're standing at the exit point and you won't stop telling me how you don't really like this jump as much as some other jump, then I'm likely to avoid sharing the exit point with you in the future. It's nothing personal, just that when I'm doing one thing I like to enjoy what I'm doing, not hear it compared to everything else I could be doing. Now, if this was the case, I hope you find someone who does like to share those comparisons with you. I'm just not that person. On the other hand, if we're standing on a high cliff and I'm busting my gut because you just made some crazy-ass remark, it doesn't bother me if you only like to jump high cliffs. It's a good thing to know, because I won't wake you up at one in the morning to see if you want to jump a crane with me. But I'll probably give you a shout next time I'm heading to a high cliff.
