Re: [bertusgeert] Stupid Base
Hi,
Just finished watching the vid several times lol
was really good, I don't know if people unfamiliar with BASE would have got all the jokes on it though, they would probably have just thought ya's are crazy cow boys.
for the people who haven't seen it i'll briefly describe it, sorry I can't remember the names, well I can but can't remember who done what. The vid went for about 5 minutes
There is a part on safety and like 1 guy walks into a phone booth and packs his rig, he just rams the shoot into the container then walks off.
then there is a bit about do ya trust the guy to pack ya rig, and like it shows a guy reaching into his packed rig and pulling out heaps of grass and leaves.
another part a d00ds about to go off a bridge and the camera man says something like "hey d00d ya rig" and his like "oh yeah nearly forgot" and puts his rig on,
then as his about to jump the camera man goes "hey ya leg straps".
only thing about the vid I didn't like was when the d00d on the bike hits the ground hard, the sound he made sounded almost identical to the sound the guy in the dam strike video made, does every1 who F%*cks up and is still conscious make that sound ? no don't answer that I don't wanna know.
also on the vid was the first part of the above mentioned which was a d00d who rode flat out on a (kinda reminded me of my GTA arm chair playstation BASE lol) push bike(camera was on his head) then he went off a cliff and (I've seen the cliff he jumped several times before and I know they don’t usually fall for to long, ) he seemed to fall for a fair bit, as it looked like he did a back flip on the bike and was kinda... stuck on the bike lol, as it looks like his about to hit his chute must deploy, (I don’t think it shown his chute deploy) and his on the ground making those noises lol.
another part of the vid was 1 d00d jumping off what looked to be a terminal(or darn close) wall in France, his just about to hit the ground when his chute starts to deploy, his chute comes out of the rig, lines stretch but before it can inflate he seems to hit the ground,
the last ya seen of the chute was when it was about the size of a brief case, no where near inflated. either he hit a very steep bit of ground or the canopy magically opened at the last nano second and aint on camera.
the guy was interviewed and he said his injury, which I think was a torn calf muscle and a bruise and the doctors wouldn’t believe him when he told them how it happened.
Also a guy on there swings out on this big rope, out over a cliff then lets go and deploys and his chute pretty much instantly comes out, even though he only fell about 5 feet, must have been the forward speed that his pilot chute ate.
The rest of the show was slims vid, which most here would have seen, it won an award so did Stoopid BASE, and other stuff like the usual so called extreme sports, Skate boarding, wind surfing, motor bikes etc.
No doubt stoopid base will be online s00n, if it isn’t already.
If I left some parts out, they are there, I just forgot them lol.
