Re: [skypuppy] speaking of soloing
In reply to:
To me BASE jumping is not just the actual leap - enjoying a BASE jump is like the experience of a good meal. As you decide what you'll have and shop for the ingredients, you anticipate what it will be like - it's like finding an object and trying to figure out how to pack, access and launch from it...
As you prepare the food, enjoying the aromas, it's like reaching the object, avoiding detection, climbing - all leading to that big moment - the meal - the JUMP!
After that you still have to avoid detection on the way out - then you can stop to savour the whole thing, and raise a glass... All in all a great experience.
Nice............... glad my jumping is not as bad as my cooking!
