What an awesome sport base jumping is huh?
I missed a load last week and this is the email I got on what happenened while I was out of town. This is the funniest thing I have ever heard and had to post it enjoy. Keep in mind the Giant is 6'6" 275 lbs. Ok, yeah so the great plan of me dropping them off at the tower then riding the gas skateboard scooter thing back was going as planned when the light died before I even drove away from the car! Then the tire was flat so I pumped it up real quick, headed down the road in the pitch black, in all black clothes!!! I'm about half way there when I hear dogs barking and their paws stomping when I decide to just keep going and not look back. So they apparently gave up and I got the three and a half miles down the road to the antenna. Then I had to stealthly hide in the bushes with the gay scooter till the cars passed. Then headed through the maze of barb wire fences till I found two jackasses hiding behind some bush doing god knows what! :) Ok, then we scoped out the landing areas and started climbing. My dumbass went first and felt like I was going to die after about 100 feet! This is where R told me I'd be fine so I kept going, funny looking back on it now! Then at like 300 ft R said he had to take a shit, about 40 ft later told us that he needed to climb down, then started to look like he was gonna pass out so B went and made sure the Giant didn't fall. About a half hour later we start to realize that the wind has shifted towards the neighborhood a little which is jumpable but sort of sketchy for a clean get away. Then we look down and realize that R is still only about 20 ft below us so we make the executive decision to climb down with him. I climb down all quick and get to the scooter and head back. Then I realize that the dog might still be out and I am now going up hill on a flat 2 inch diameter tire!!! So when I start to relax when I am over the hill and past the dog's place, when I hear the death bark and see a 120lbs plus Rot coming at my sides, just about now I realize this is by far the stupidest thing I've ever gotten myself into!!! Luckily the dog tired himself out about 100 yards down the road while trying to bite the back of my knees as I tuck myself in trying to reduce my wind resistance like the long distance bikers on tv... Finally back to the car to the lovely smell of gasoline which is still lingering today, and off to pick up the fags!
What an awesome sport base jumping is huh? So when are we going again???
