crazy I tell you, crazy. at least they did the math. I think it will be hard to prove 'public endangerment' charges. I dont think the DA has a sturdy leg to stand on. Good luck boys.

i know of a site where taking down trees is okay. the annual spring runoff usually takes them out anyway. they are more shrubs than trees anyways.

climb higher for the warm toaster exit

Just found this.. http://www.runwayfinder.com/ you should learn how to read these as they can give you guidelines about your soon to be favorite object, or not.

half of the wingspan is correct. So to notice this effect you would need to be within 3 feet or less.

what about drinking? surely those are imoprtant calories that should not be spared!

This isnt site naming is it? http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/09/07/MNGQRL0TDV1.DTL just thought it might be interesting.

Well they probably didnt START inventing BASE first. small baby steps like watches, helmets, door hard wear, and knit blankets came first/

where can you buy gas for $1.37!!??? I know there is no site naming but...

It is/was a good thing. BASE jumping really started when skydivers got/get bored. Good thing indeed. nic

The heli to B, then the B jump cool. motorbike to boat. lame showboating, but hey its Felix right?

Never will happen. SF depends on the water from HH. There is 3 Billion in seismic retrofitting occurring soon. Those cliffs are for SCUBA BASE only for the rest of our lives, and many generations into the future. nic

You could order a 5 cell canopy with dental floss for the lines and the bridle. stop by a SAFEway and grab a plastic bag for your PC.

For free with no other choice, sure. But doesnt PBR or Busch sound so much better (in comparision) nic
-
It seems to me they have the nagging problem of multiple canopy out type situations. nic

Going to be in the medford area soon. locals please PM. nic

i think that is more of an "exit" point than any other Ive been at

Jumping through clouds
nicrussell replied to lisamariewillbe's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
clouds are can be funto play in. Really not safe. Its weird looking all around you and nothing but grey. I can think of one DZ that kinda got shut down for this. and its the pilot that can get DEticketed. -
just saying dont go run to the FAA when any number of other less government types were most likely available. Plus we dont know the jumpers history on this statement. maybe he was just trying to get a rise out of the skydiver, if so, success. But thats not my point. would you go run to the FAA if jumpers you saw boarding an aircraft and then landed their parachutes in cloudy type conditions. most likely not. plus there is only one very lopsided part of the story here. I am taking this with a grain of salt.

thanks, i always wanted to revisit my youth. Being a jumper who likes fixed objects, this matter to me isnt about the actual act of using a Single parachute system out of an aircraft. The issue to me is about the tattle telling of the jumper to the FAA. That is childish. plus he Missed the damn load anyways. Go to the jumper, go to the pilot, go to the S&TA, but for gods sake leave the FAA out of it!! nic

the jump(s) in q was were the mr bill landed together, 1 parachute open, two jumpers.

hookit does, he's just slow to post it.

learn to swim. if your jumping over water you need to be prepared.

depth is less important compared to the velocity of the water. Its moving quick, really fast. But making the LZ shouldnt be an issue if you do a 5 sec or less delay. Unless you suck. (dry faster than you can heal is a good mantra tho)
