  1. If you want to really have fun disconnect a riser, or stow the toggles (jongles for you) on the opposite risers. Im a little worried, Trees been in this sport long enough to know they're yonkles,not jongles ~J ~by the way, what would happen if you stowed the yonkles on the opposite risers...uh, I mean seatbelts....but really? ~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"
  2. I have a Ducati 900 and an old chopper, the Duc is F-A-S-T, but I love my chopper, If you are going to commute though, go with the Duc! my .02 ~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"
  3. I believe the best gear is Dainese,the full spine guard that extends all the way to your coccxyx is probably the safest, however it is deffinately limiting. I use the boys size. get a large if you can but a medium is good too.they are way cheaper and would protect you in just about any scenario I could think of. The full jackets are pretty cool too because they have chest plates and are one piece, but sometimes you might not want to wear everything, but might still like the spine guard. good times ~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"

    scared? lonely?

    Counting actually distracts me, I only count when I'm cueing a camera or if its a multi way. ~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"
  6. Check out the Van Gogh museum for sure! also, there is a cool place to rent a bicycle along the street that leads to the train station, if you are leaving the train station it is about 3 blocks on the left.There's a cool Aussie place near the redlight that advertises "warm beer and lousy food" check it out, most of the bicycle taxi guys can direct you there. Try a Kangaroo steak!The Kokopelli smart shop is cool too get atleast 78/79 euro to the US $100 ~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"

    Other people make me nervous,I never let anyone gearcheck me, I know I did it right. the closest Ill do is say "looks all right?,lets go" Solo's are strangely comforting,even if you're scared,cold, and lonely. The feelings never lasts longer than 3...2...1..............
  9. Ok, here's one of my favorite pieces of Seussian Wisdom (Yes the late Dr. Seuss!) ~From the Troubles I Had In Getting To Solla Sellew >Then I started back home To the Valley of Vung. I know I'll have troubles. I'll maybe, get stung. I'll always have troubles. I'll, maybe get bit By the green-headed quail On the place where I sit. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready, you see. Now my troubles are going To have troubles with me! ~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"
  10. I bought 1 and encourage others to do so, If you ...really, can't afford it give something...anything $1 $10 it's not about the raffle,and anything helps!!!

  13. Unless you are 80lbs and under 5ft don't get a 250MC,get a scooter you'll be way happier. I think a 750cc would be irrisponcible and way too much bike for a first rider. An dual sport(dirt bike made for driving on the street) 350 would be awesome, off the line quickness,not too high a topspeed (80 mph maybe) and you can drop it a bunch and it will be ok. Also an SV 650 (Suzuki I think) is good for a beginner and you won't get bored of it. ~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. Johnny really does kick ass, I took his course before Tom was doing his thing,It cost half of what the others did (BR, Morpheus...) and was a full week not a weekend. He also sent me a packing vid, and the Bridge day safety vid that he arrainged from Will Forsheys lemmings (I think). He was totally professional,and you could really see that he cared and loved doing it...and he's a great jumper and an awesome teacher. But ofcorse I don't have anything to compare that to,except what I've seen since then. ~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. ~Laying in bed last night thinking about this B I want to jump (much later) I started thinking of the safest position on the building to launch from. I figured it would be the safest (Winds allowing) to jump from the corner of a building instead of the flat. This would allow more flight area in case of an off heading opening. (see attached diagram) If you had a 180 off heading, jumping in this manner would require less riser/toggle input to avoid the B. If anyone has an opinion on this, or sees something I am overlooking, please let me know. You guys have been a real help in the past, and I know there is alot of knowledge on this site. Thanks! Sorry all for the enibriated posting last night (this morning?) I thought it would be obvious that a corner would be the safest exit point, the question seemed a bit queer so I had to ask.... ~Nick The question (above) I responded to had nothing to do with wether or not I would exit from the middle of a building if a corner was not available,only wether a corner was safer than the middle of a wall...which seemed...well obvious...all wind,and obsticles aside. ~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. Um...Ok... are you kidding or is this a real post? i find it had tp believe that this would b posted as a real Quesion that a baSE jumper would have... "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"
