ASK AIELLO what a TWOP jump is

I'll say that the TWOP is the most insane thing I've seen in a long time. That's including some of the things my Marines did in combat. NUTS!!!

How'd you get a train on top of a building or antenna?

I remember seeing the vid and talking to Kevin V about doing that train jump. 26-ft lopo, wasn't it?

What was his train number?

BASE 92

If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

Great post Rick. That antenna jump you, your brother, and I made last time I saw you was a blast (pun intended). I still think about that jump and the fun we were having up there on top of the world. You guys rock. Hope to jump with you again soon.

Have Fun, Don't Die!

Hey hey hey, I (moi) personally don't have any hate toward anybody owning a BASE number. I was just trying to give that dipshit Wanker-509 a hard time.
(509) HE'S the one proposing that BASE-#'s should be a Proposed Minimum Requirement for the opportunity to do a BASE jump. while also Obviously attacking the Manhood and Moral Integrity of a BASE jumper Without a BASE-#.... HE'S the Wanker !
Like You. I am also proud to be a BASE jumper. Even though I never considered ever obtaining a BASE-#
(please read opening thread post) - So dude after reading that Faber like Post. Anything is fair game for my eccentric ranting.
Plus: I just like to keep that Rhondalea person, amused.......

I agree with Shotgun Ray. That's one of the worst ideas I've ever heard. BASE#'s don't prove a thing. I know jumpers with #'s who are just accidents waiting to happen (even though we're all accidents waiting to happen...hmmm) and jumpers with no # (like me) who are pretty solid.

The numbers are for fun but were never, or should ever, be used to prove anything to do with skill level or experience.

Having a BASE# tells me you have done 4 BASE jumps. That, and nothing more.

I think the numbers are great and I hope that tradition continues as long as people are BASE jumping. But some like them, and some don't.

Yo Ray, since the Seattle crew doesn't want to jump with me anymore (hint, hint, screw the rain let's jump guys!) can I join the PDX crew?

Will you guys take me? I heard there's a few open slots, you know, with everyone being on vacation and all...

A pretty funny comment coming from someone who pusses out often on offers to go jump Seattle objects…

The Seattle crew doesn't cater to pussies… So please, go to Portland…

By the way BASE 509… You can stick your number up your ass! Because that’s what it amounts to, a load of shit…

Having a BASE # to do a BASE jump is like going to the deli and pulling a number so you can order a sandwich.

Number 1009?... 1010?

That's me!!! I'd like one flick with 450 feet of altitude 2 1/2 second delay, hold the line twists.

Make that 4 please

Right Michael... I can't remember the last time you did anything you said you were going to do. I do remember being woken up at 2 AM to jump a building in gusty (unsafe) winds. Even that was a couple months ago.

Just because a lot of jumpers don't want to jump with you, doesn't mean we're not jumping without you. You've been unsafe for a very long time and I don't think that being considered a "pussy" by you is going to cost me any loss of sleep.

It's hard to feel bad about it, because you never come through anyway. I tried really hard to give you a chance and stuck with you when the rest of the Seattle crew didn't want anything to do with you. Remember those times?

What did we get in return? Nothing that I can think of. We had some good times before you slipped back into your little world of alcohol and bad-mouthing everyone you don't get along with.

Anyhow. I'm done with you. Later.

Hey why don't you go jump El Cap again... Oh wait, you executed it like a dumbass and got busted.

Oh yeah... Advice coming from someone who turned a building into a cluster-fuck because you guys didn't bring radios or phones.

In fact... Do you even know how to scout an object? Or do only jump objects that are handed to you by the Seattle crew?

Why don't you get the fuck off your high horse before I knock you off?

Gentlemen, if the term applies, surely we can resolve our differences without cursing or personal attacks? Or maybe not. Apparently, the gloves are OFF.

Where the fuck did that come from, Mike? You know for a fact that Chad is an excellent, heads up guy who has opened his own objects. As far as representing the "Seattle crew," no one jumps with you. You are the Mike crew and have been for the last year since you have flaked out of every single thing you have ever commited to with us. Stop being so angry, Mike. We're good people, remember when we were all friends and had some incrediblely fun times together? Well, we're not the ones who changed.

Quick question... Who is the Seattle BASE crew? Maybe 3 years ago it was easy to answer that question... but now it seems that everybody has a different idea of who is actually in the Seattle BASE crew. Is it everybody who shows up to the bar on Thursday night? Is it the over 20 BASE jumpers that live up here? It seems to me that the original Seattle BASE crew has just turned into a bunch of different clicks... reminds me way to much of skydiving.

The original Seattle BASE crew was awesome! There were definitely enough fights to go around, but nobody ever disowned their crew. I've had fights with pretty much everyone up here and I still consider them in my Seattle BASE crew.

Chad, Michael,

You guys need to take this somewhere that is not this forum.

I've banned you both for 14 days.

Leroy...trust me...you gotta SEE it...I am still trying to talk Rick into letting me get my train/HOBO jump...gotta sweet talk him a bit more though hehe!

Rick actually showed TomD and Dexter the footage when they were down not too long ago. These guys put a new definition in the word 'hardcore'.

[kleggo 145]

let's not forget that BASE jumping was a much bigger deal ten or twenty years ago.

If you got your BASE number fifteen years ago, even if you only did it in only four jumps, it still meant you were one bad ass motherfucker.

Special Thanks to KMonster & DexterBASE for being such amazing people…

I’m motivated to make this post for so many reasons, but I’m not going to list them here… I have so many reasons to thank KMonster & DexterBASE that I would have to write a book in order to do it properly and to the level that it should be done to do them justice.

I’m also motivated to write this post because of other BASE jumpers that I conflict with. So to keep my complaints separate I’m going to start another post called “The BASE game… Playing it at your level without judging others…” I’ll add the link once I’m done writing the post…

LINK HERE -->http://www.dropzone.com/...;;page=unread#unread

Finally, I just want to say that if you ever have a chance to hang out with KMonster & DexterBASE, make an effort to get to know them; you will be thankful you did… KMonster & DexterBASE are special people and are more passionate about BASE and Life than anyone I have ever met in the sport… KMonster & DexterBASE have truly raised the bar in regards to what I want in friends and they have raised the bar with who I will BASE jump with.

Again, thank you KMonster and DexterBASE for being such amazing people…

Michael

Now i'm confused. This is wild speculation, but i'm sensing some tension here.......

I got mine on my 100th jump at Bridge Day in 1996 as the first jumper at the event after a few years of jumping. I'm still very proud of it. It was about the same level of difficulty as getting my Masters degree but not as difficult as getting my doctorate. It connects me in a way with my mentor Dead Steve Morrell (RIP), BASE 174, and other heros of the sport like BASE 1-4, BASE 36-38, and several others. The numbers are not just a US thing. They are going to a lot of non-US jumpers too. And they connect us to other jumpers from many different walks of life, like police officers, airline pilots, drug dealers, atomic scientists, astronauts, cosmonauts, plumbers, porn stars, etc.

> They are going to a lot of non-US jumpers too.
Yes indeed. In this part of the world (Italy) as soon as a young dickhea...... ehhmmm... a BASE jumper has completed the word B.A.S.E., prepares his letter to Rick, and I helped a lot of them providing the "frame letter" (Italian folks are NOT very keen on languages ) to be filled by each with their own data
For me, yes, the BASE number is something to be proud of, as well as a connection with the folks that invented the sport, many, many years ago.
And, WITHOUT ANY WILL TO BE DISRESPECTFUL OR SO, the BASE number is ALSO a good fun to have: we often call us each other by BASE number ("Hey, is #658 coming now or tomorrow?", "We are waiting for #879 who is still on highway" and so on...) and it (the BASE number thing) resembles us to be secret agents or so, like grown up kids (we need to be and to feel grown up kids, otherwise we could not have all the fun we have ).
At the same time, we absolutely do not judge in any way somebody who hasn't got a BASE number, because we all know that holding a BASE number is by no means a certification of ability/skill (I closed the word at my 13th jump, and, even if my exit was solid stable and good awareness under canopy and good landing capabilities and whatever, I would have NEVER gone to jump alone, forget going scouting and opening alone an object and so on...).
In fact, there are rumors that few people closed the word in only 4 jumps, and (for example) Mr. #66 closed the word in 5 jumps (damn, two successive S jumps...), and (no jealousy indeed, believe me) while I get hats off to #66 for his huge balls (as well as his two friends), please, tell me how experienced and how skilled (capable of evaluating new (safe) objects, pulling off brilliantly advanced (flight) objects, and so on...) #66 was after his fifth jump..........

> And they connect us to other jumpers from many different walks of life, like police officers, airline pilots, drug dealers, atomic scientists, astronauts, cosmonauts, plumbers, porn stars, etc
While the above is indeed true, still we Italian chaps, who have so much fun calling us each other by BASE number ("Hey, I got a phone call by #657..."), we don't care if a visiting jumper has got a BASE number or not, we still take them to jump our sites, having a hell of a fun all together
