Noone has answered the question yet so I will. Let's say I'd be willing to spend up to 40$ a week. So if a jump costs 10$ I'd go 4 times. 20$...2 times. Etc. But the more it costs...the less I'd be interested as well. So if it cost 40$ I probably wouldn't jump it every week. If it really was a 3000ft tower like you described...it would probably be like 50$ a pop. I'd jump it...but not very often. Cheers.

I lol'd. Ok thx for pointing all that out. My point was that losing stability is probably not about bad luck. It's all about the skill bucket. (The second fatal vid...I've been checking the list but neither of the descriptions fit the picture. So nevermind...)

I know...I don't know jack shit. Still... Seems to me that #63 (with all due respect) is not a case of "everything done right so I dunno what went wrong". If you lose balance and strike a cliff, it's pretty obvious what went wrong. You lost balance More practice (more balloon, chopper, bridge jumps) might have avoided this. The only thing that would keep me from getting into BASE are total malfunctions (such as pilot chute/canopy not inflating, or canopy not coming out of bag) and possibly 180's. I've seen two movies on the net that made me wonder about the dangers of Base. One is a trailer on the Triax site of a guy jumping at BD. First his pilot chute refuses to inflate and when it finally did his canopy never fully opens. Dude gets away with it. The second movie is similar (also @ BD I believe...but earlier) but it ends in tragedy. A pilot chute inflates but for some reason the canopy never exits the container. The jumper fell to his death. This is the former http://www.triaxproductions.com/BD04_spot_03.wmv (Sorry if I'm out of line or stating the obvious when not appropriate)

Why would you want to be a priest anyway when you can have fun at the gay bar all night looooong?

I also am troubled by the fear of death. Been having headaches lately...just above my left eye. I think it's cancer and I'm gonna die. My uncle recently died because of cancer and since then I've been anxious. Also...few days ago...I was sitting on the couch and I realised that I was gonna die (everyone eventually does) and I fucking panicked bad. Still haven't recovered from that. Wtf...

If you haven't tested it yet, better do so. It would be a shame when your kids play it on christmas eve and it crashes. The best games you can get are "Oblivion" and "gears of war". Haven't seen anything else that impressed me. Don't feel bad about buying one though...it will surely rock (plus buying it on the opening day gives you a longer internetpenis) I, however, also don't buy consoles on the release date: 1. They are expensive 2. They are subject to malfunctions 3. There are only a few (good) games out I'd say those three are reason enough not to buy one just yet. People who pay EXTRA on ebay etc. are crazy idiots who don't know the value of money.

For the win.

WHAT You talking about http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=2852&string=dirtbike ??? Just a sec I'll take a peek. K done. That looks like a lot of fun. Not all that spectacular since every dirtbiking base jumper can do it. All you need is a throwaway-bike. Should have had better camerawork for the first jump though. Due to the shade you couldn't see very much. AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO HELMET CAM???

This patriot shit is getting out of hand.

flaky orange oxidized iron. very tasty. and fends of anemia to boot!

What are these rusty mails you speaketh of?

I see. I didn't finish my sentence. A submarine is a shot of Jenever in a glass of beer. This weekend I went on a trip with my friends and we had B-52's. You put three layers in a glass. Layer one: Kahlua Layer two: Cointreau Layer three: Stroh rum Light it and drink it with a straw before the straw burns. Fun stuff...but it made me sick.

Wait a minute. You mean...you just drop a small glass of Jägermeister in a big glass of Redbull and that's a drink??? And if so...what's it called??? We have this drink called a submarine. It's a shot of Jenever (kinda like schnapps...) Anyway...I usually try and go for pure stuff when I'm getting boozed up. But mixed drinks are always fun for social occasions.

Remind me again why that is... Also...I'd start calling your mom "Grans"

The most vile of all hard liquors is Jägermeister... I dunno why but that shit always knocks me in the back of the head with a sledge hammer

I dunno. I'm drinking coke with the alcohol level of scotch right now... If only I had scotch...wouldn't have to mix it.

Point taken. 50% rum/coke for the win...

Hay guys, So I checked the cabinet and have to choose from the following: 1. Duvel (beer...strong Belgian beer) 2. Ströh Rumm/coke (it's 80% so I'm a little hesitant to drink it straight) 3. Champagne (I dunno...kinda overkill dontchathink) By the way there's no such thing as Thanksgiving over here so if this is no-thanksgiving-blues exclusive just say so.

Lol @ "may have executed"

Actually was also posted a LOOONG time ago on skydivingmovies.com by the guy doing the jump: Rene. I recently saw a vid of a Basejumper jumping off a bridge (Could have been Bridge Day...not sure) He couldn't open his chute and fell to his death. Anybody know who this is? I'm not gonna post the vid because I no longer know where it is and even if I did know I would'nt post it anyway.

If 1. There were as many Basejumpers as there were bikers. and 2. The percentage of idiot/unprepared Basejumpers was equivalent to the percentage of idiot/unprepared bikers. Then I would think Base was a LOT more dangerous (as in: more likely to get you killed)

Alright. Final remarks. 1. At this moment in time I can't spend 50$ on one DVD. 2. I wasn't really looking for a full DVD, just some online homevids. (And I was surprised that there are so few BD2005 homevids online. ) 3. I realize I should have said "1." followed by "2." instead of "50 bux for a dvd? I don't think so." ( Less important: 4. I realize you can't get a free ride through life. But sometimes I get the feeling there's always someone wanting to make a buck and that you have to pay for everything and anything. I can't say I approve of this money driven way of life. You shouldn't confuse this with being a cheapskate. All this has nothing to do with the dvd's however)

Ok. Seeing as they are basejumpers themselves...I guess they know what they are doing. I main point was that there are very few homevids online if you know how many camcorders there are at an event like this. That is all.

Didn't see the Telefacts thing yet. THX!

I'm afraid your remembering my nickname (because of that) says more about yourself than it does about me. You one of those grudgy types who takes it personally when (November come) a leaf falls on his head? I don't think there's any point in recycling the money thing. But what-the-fuck if you can't even ask for a home video without having to pay for it. Next time some 4X4 driving housewife asks me for directions I'm gonna charge her 25 bucks for it. CHICHING!
