Granted that we jump objects for the fun of it, no matter how you can define it or call it or categorize it, and granted that the people involved have ALREADY jumped a bone fide B (with all details that "belong" to a B).
I am talking about a "definite" monument that is shaped as a B, has got NONE living permanently in it, in special occasions there authorities (=military/whatsoever) that "populate" it for the celebrations, and, yes, there are also security issues with videocameras distribuited somwhow along the perimeter (not along the whole the perimeter ).
And, yes, it is completely within the city limits (it has got real B's all around).
Would you define such a monument as a B in BASE terms?

I would call it M as monument
can i jump it then

Hope your doing good bro

would have to see it, but probably an O, or like faber says, an M. Is it square based or circular based?

Can anyone come up with an object for Z?

Zeungeleben, after this summer,i will ask him to laydown on a exitpoint so i can jump off him

Hey! No site naming!

.

ooops sorry
Ill ask Tom to remove my post at some point

ma di che cazzo hai saltato?
abraccio,

> Is it square based or circular based?
PM sent. Anyway, it's a "honest" parallelepiped, square section from base to top, it could be an apartment B, only nobody lives there on a permanent basis, it is only full of art masterpieces and can be visited by humans.

> ma di che cazzo hai saltato?
> Translation: what the fuck did you jump?
I jumped fucking nothing myself.
My mates living in your city jumped it. Fucking unbelievable. I can only tell on the phone. Call you later
Those chaps have "grown up" tremendously lately, especially thanks to the efforts of BASE #1044 (and the other chap is missing only an E to complete the word).

It is a B, according to the convention developed by Phil Smith, BASE #1. I asked a similar question to Phil who explained "it's meant to be occupied or is occupied, and wind goes around it forming rotors." A smokestack is not a B because it is not meant to be occupied. It is classified as an A for Aerial. He wrote an article titled "Gimme a B, gimme an A, gimme an S, gimme an E!" in BASEline magazine that defines the acronym. It even includes ferris wheels, totem poles, and redwood trees in the classification system.

That object is absolutely a B, a cool B!!!
Congrats dudes!!!

Any chance of a link or is it even online somewhere?

While this particular one sounds like a B (maybe monument isn't the best English word, sounds like a museum?), most monuments would end up being A's, since most of them are tall and narrow, for example the Eiffel tower, Washington monument or Statue of Liberty, but including many smaller monuments in other smaller, lesser known locations.

> (maybe monument isn't the best English word, sounds like a museum?)
Possibly. Read further. It was definitely built as a monument.

> most monuments would end up being A's
It's not an A. No way. It's a big and thick parallelepiped. If there were people living inside it would be an apartment flat. It's got square section from base to top. It's almost as wide as deep as high, more or less a cube. Not very pleasant looking, definitely man made, and, yes, once in a while there are people that go inside. probably in future they will use it again as a museum.
OK, it's sort of strange, because the height of each floor it's about slightly more than 3 times the height of a normal apartment building.
Well, once it was a musem, now they have removed all the statues, paintings, whatever else.
Possibly in future they are planning to use it again as a musem. Of course there are security cameras (nearly) all over the perimeter, and has got proper apartment buildings nearby.

Would it be possible to see that article published here?
It would be WAY interesting

This is a bona fide B. Period. No one who saw this would argue otherwise unless they were a mentalist.

In fact this is more of a B than any "B under construction" as it fits more of the recognised criteria, insomuch as it has walls and has been occupied in the past.

It's also very low my friend. Looks no higher than 150ft.??????

would also like to see the gimme a B article you spoke of 460.

> It's also very low my friend. Looks no higher than 150ft.??????
No, it isn't vey low. It's 65 m - 213 ft. They SLed it for flight pattern and available landing purposes.
It can be "confusing" because the floors are extremely HIGH (more than 3 times the height of a "normal" apartment B).
Just look at what it is in the first floor "windows" and think at how big there can be.
