I'm interested in seeing a picture or a good description of those. How do they work? How do you operate the release function etc.... Anyone? Don't Die // percy

Buy your own Skydiving gear and then buy a proper BASE gear. You can always sell the skydiving thing later. Skydiving is lots of fun and who knows you might discover that eventually if u give it a chance. Do'in BASE doesn't require quitting skydive, u know. In some cases skydiving is a necessity to become a safe BASE-jumper (other than qualifying to a FJC). Take care percy

You still live, can't see why that would be too cautious. If you're i doubt you are. My experiences tells me that winds can change in a very short period of time. This has almost caught me in the trees a couple of times. Avoid headwind at planned opening/canopy altitude. Even though bones heals and chicks dig scars it must hurt like hell to strike the steel. And to answer your last q, YES and I stood down. Take care Percy

I wonder though, would using slinks on a brisk slider up opening risk dislodging a pinned toggle when there is no bumper to stop it? *** Well, in reply to that. It happened to me on my skydiving rig using soft links. So I guess it is possible to happen again on my BASE rig???? // Percy

That for sure is a great movie.... You can also find some fine BASE-jumps on the same site in these films. They're called "Sjunde dagen" and "lukas Knutsson". I.e. "The Seventh Day" and a film in tribute to Lukas "Cold Steel" Knutsson. The latter was not in competition at the Film Festival. links: http://www.headdown.net/archive/movies/ff2002/lukas.mov http://www.headdown.net/archive/movies/ff2002/sjundedagen.mov c-ya dudes and dudettes // percy

Now when all that have been said. Just felt like adding my 2 cents. When you one day decides to try out BASE. Remember just one thing, IT IS dangerous. You will be injured or killed when BASE-jumping, it is a matter of plain statistics. No preparation or education can prevent it to happen eventually. Even though you are properly prepared anything can go wrong. You have probably seen this link already but it doesn't do any harm to go over the list again and study those cases where jumpers have done it right and nowdays doesen't walk around with us anymore. http://juliabell.home.att.net/ If you consider the risk wort it for a try-out. Well, then I hope to share a jump with you in time. Take care. // Percy
