Why I jump Asylum
Just wanted to take a second to thank Martin Tilly on a public forum for all the help he gave Kmonster and me the past couple weeks. Kmonster and I showed up in town and immediately bombarded Marty with requests for 32" pilot chutes and other accesories. He came through and we picked up the gear we needed in time to go chuck some really cool objects in the area.
One of the objects we jumped was...um.... less-than-legal and we were treated to a free ride and a place to stay overnight. We didn't get our gear back
. After court the following day, as we were literally driving back from court, we were on the phone with Marty trying to line up new gear. I had a new custom rig nearing the end of production and happened to have an extra BlackJack for Kmonster to use. Marty let us come into the shop while he finished my rig right in front of me while I looked over his shoulder shaking with excitement. My new PerigeePro is the sickest BASE rig I have ever seen. I'm not even playing or trying to sound cocky, you'll see it when we jump together! The quality of work is amazing and it really made me feel good about my decision to get another PerigeePro. The rig came out beautifully. The BlackJack is awesome. I use the word precisely. AWESOME. Nylon confidence, absolute most rock-solid canopy. Ever. I've jumped Foxes (vented and not) and the Ace. The BlackJack is clearly where it's at.
When we told Marty that I had an extra BlackJack sitting around but no container to put it in so Kmonster could keep jumping, he located a container that he let us borrow so she could continue playing. (I will ship that rig back to you today or tomorrow at the latest)
All these things added up showed me that there's so much more to a BASE manufacturer than the gear. Asylum produces the highest quality BASE jumping equipment I've ever used and I will be buying and jumping Asylum gear with absolute confidence.
Marty, you're truly one of a kind and I appreciate all you did to help us out. There are people you meet in BASE that are cool and there are people who make the experience memorable, but every once in a while there is a person you come in contact with that really stands out. Thank you for keeping the dream alive, I'm proud to call you my friend.
Look for my gear orders coming your way! ---Chad
