Hey Tony! Doing great! How are you? Name Dropping?!?! I would never consider it.
Here are a couple other signs I have run across. The first sign obviously needs an edit. As for the second, the lady must like him a lot to have built him a Casino.
Have Fun!
Re: [Bazair2air] unIntentional BASE Pictures in the real world
Here's one i spotted on my travels. The funny thing is, the owners hadn't a clue what a basejumper was.

That page is funny. We've come a long way for the BASE community. Quoting from that page:
Corporate Social Responsibility
BASE’s view on Corporate Social Responsibility is that BASE is actively concerned with the welfare of society at large. It is our desire to have a positive impact on the people and communities in which we operate. We are currently designing a CSR programme which will clearly link our view of corporate social responsibility to our shared values, mission and vision.Some key elements we are taking into consideration are:
Recognition and acceptance of individual, physical and cultural diversity (self-realization)
Recognition and translation of basic human rights of self and others into "freedom of communication" (Freedom of Speech
Acceptance of new ideas, experiences, and people (unconventionality)
Understanding of the importance of volunteering in social and community activities (altruism)

Re: [dropoutdave] unIntentional BASE Pictures in the real world
In reply to:

Just some more info...
The cliff is "The Old Man on the Mountain", a New Hampshire landmark in the north country. This is a naturally formed rock ledge that, if viewed in a certain way, looked to be the profile of an old man, shown on the plate. Unfortunately this profile crumbled recently when the rock ledge finally gave way.
"Live Free or Die" is a quote from General John Stark, a New Hampshire soldier in the American revolutionary war. The larger quote is "Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils.". (NH residents are proud of this motto...ironically, license plates are made by inmates in prison.)
Anyway...props to all you who live BASE.

Re: [d_goldsmith] unIntentional BASE Pictures in the real world
Hey Goldsmith, Maybe you should spend time learning from your local Seattle crew, instead of rolling over low cliffs above grade 5 white water with no input or involvement of the experienced jumpers in your local.
I mean you have Gabe, Batman, Tom D, Doug, Brice, Tommy H, etc... all of who now their shit, and yet you choose to go off with your yahoo sketchy wigsuit friend and do stupid f-ing shit.
Why the hell did you start BASE jumping in the first place? Was to get laid? Was it because you are suicidal? Maybe it was to make the sport look bad? Keep in mind your irresponsible behavior reflects badly on your local crew and the BASE world as a whole.
You learned from one of the wisest BASE instructors around. What would he think of your actions, and your choice to not continue your education with a mentor?

Did seeing that sign stop you from jumping, or just from him doing his first freefall?
I have always thought that BASE jumpers would not typically be the types to be superstitious. For example, if someone talked about going in, while at an exit point, would that prevent anyone from jumping? Joking about that sort of thing was pretty common place, in my limited experience.
Just curious.
