  4. Yo Deuce! My spine is gonna let me jump! (atleast a little) How we gonna out-do last year?
  5. Don't get caught= no problem. Check out the landing area and look to see if there is a suitable place to exit before you bother going in the building, don't just go see if you can get to the roof of a B you won't jump. if the door is open....Go flick it!!!

  7. yo, I jump a snowboarding helmet, it is solid! and light. ....but not full face. I recently had a friend lose 4 teeth , bust his nose and have other (maxilla possibly) damage, because of an object strike. I am now looking into Paragliding helmets, much sturdier than a skydiving helmet, they are light and don't have a face shield. ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"

    LIVE ANTENA

    I really hope he went to a good doctor for that,electrical burns like that are seriously fucked up and not to be taken lightly, they can do some serious desrtuction to all the tissue they go through. ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"

  15. They stuck me in an institution, said it was the only solution, to give me the needed, professional help to protect me from the enemy myself ~Mike Muir "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"
  16. I don't understand what you mean, don't take this the wrong way but...what isn't working? What were you hopeing would happen?or change? Becides El Cap being legal for all to enjoy, and any other cliff that a condor hasn't already claimed, what could change? ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"
  17. IMHO, no news is good news. Every so often someone dies, needs rescue, or decides they want to be a BASEMAN super-hero and call the news. these things fade after their short lived 15 minutes is up. Ask some wuffo who JA is after thanksgiving and they won't know, if you remind them they'll probably respond "oh yeah the idiot who jumped off the tower and was hanging on it" The general population will never think of BASE jumpers as normal people just like you and me. and even if they did....what would that change? they would still think we are crazy(hell I think i am every time I climb something, I only change my mind once I've jumped).Society likes to protect us from ourselves (right now in SF there is a $2million study on putting a suicide barrior on the GG bridge, if it is deemed possible there will be an approximate $25 million dollar construction. That will keep people from killing themselves....right?) I don't think it would inprove site access, and if anything would make people more conciensious of BASE jumping and you would start seeing designs that would prevent access to objects, doors not normally locked would be locked. And anti-BASE laws would be enacted in your local town because there would be reason to. Right now John Whuffo thinks BASE jumping is done by a few daredevils, somewhere else, not in this town...i've never seen one = no problem. no news is good news. ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"
  18. Don't go to jail with a packed rig. ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"
  19. I like the subliminal messages Rhonda,nice
  20. On this note I would like to offer my services,at a small fee ofcourse better get them quick as I plan to be back in the air soon. ~J edited to add, I'm also a certified EMT and bartender, so I can treat even the minor injuries...my kit includes a few Vicodan and a bottle of single malt.

  21. I've got some free time and a check to burn, can you send me the information on where to send a permit request, and possibly an idea of the wording I should use for my request. ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"
  22. priceless...it really has too. ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"
  23. Yeah I saw that one! I think its the winner. for 80 a month I can get the "calculated risk taker" looks really good.
  24. Recently I was visited by a news crew while I was in a hospital bed in Malaysia,(the news people were brought by the person who was the head of events & pr for the tower )I had been there for about 5 hours and had not taken any medication or been given any medical attention except x-rays. I told them that I understood the risks of the sport and that BASE jumping was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. I also said that I felt I could have as easily found myself in the hospital for a motorcycle accident, that's life. Also i said that i hoped to heal quickly so that I could return to the air.And though I wasn't able to jump for the remainder of the trip that I still planed to enjoy their Beautiful country and hospitality while I was there. ~J "One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act"
