hi all,

could anyone tell me who this is?

thanks

Eric Ryde.
100% sure.

And I guess I'm wrong.

Rebecca,

Do a search for Eric Ryde. He's a legend in our sport.

I know who he is, but im not gonne tell you,,, heeheee.
And I`ll bet you 1 mill krondogs its not Eric R..
CYA

Who's Eric Ryde?

Be careful Eric looks like the Park Rangers are still looking for you.

i always thought it was Andre, the cat with 8 lives left...regardless, he's pretty hot

sorry i didn't mean to get anyone nervous by asking.

i saw 1st base the other day for the first time and it really make me want to become a base jumper. i have my first skydive scheduled for next weekend!

i've been doing some 'googling' about BASE jumpers and just trying to put names to faces.

jeb seems to rock too.

and i'd agree the guy in the photo....whoever he may be...is nice to look at.

t

Ho Ho Ho. This is great.

PS: You're going to die.

i would figure in this sport that's not really the type of thing you say to someone. even as a decent human you shouldn't ever put that stuff out in to the universe.

t

In all truth, that's exactly the kind of thing you'll hear said in this sport. Death is such an ever-present reality in BASE that you pretty much have to be able to joke around about it, because if you actually stopped to consider it in all seriousness, you'd likely go insane.

Have a look at the photo here and learn the history behind it (you can find a good bit of it digging around old threads in this forum. That'll start you on the way to understanding some of the relationship between BASE jumpers and death.

If you read through all the stuff you can find before posting questions about the photo, you'll get extra points in my book.

i'm sorry if i get this wrong, but i after some reading i think that is a photo of Dwain Weston and Roland Simpson.

both were very experienced jumpers and sadly are now deceased. my condolences.

t

Yeeaaah well actually you are totally wrong.

aren't there 2 universal constants?
Death & Taxes?

For in-depth study have a look at this picture. Here we cross dead people out. The goal is to be the last one left.

bsbd!

Yuri.

It's on my desktop, so I look at it every day.

Hey, if you win, do you get to go around and piss on the graves of everyone else?

Ray, care to weigh in on this?

Who's the bottom left?

Number 65 afaik.

screw you buddy. Your life's been sailing pretty smooooth lately. What do you want me to wear at your funeral ? ...
I though, will live forever. I have planed on it my whole life.
.

> ... just trying to put names to faces...
——————————————————————————————
Ehhmmm... ...what for? What's the purpose?
We are kind of folk who do NOT like our names go around
Good luck, anyway

Wow, is that you in the middle?
I guess actually having to hike for a jump instead of driving with your car to your local bridge keeps you in shape...

 

 

 

No. You have names in the wrong places and at least one of your colours is wrong. What is the point??

 

STILL WRONG

No, screw you! I have it all figured out: when i go there ain't gonna be a funeral nor a grave, so both you and Tom are so fucked

bsbd!

Yuri.

*cough*

help from me? i don't think so. all i did was say it was wrong in my earlier post.

I also asked him to erase my name with a pm but now that you quoted him even if he delites my name I'm stuck in your post...

you are still remaining untouched Yuri.

well more than 50% is still alive

the 4 left cant die

Tom- too fat to climb any objects any more
Ray L-too old and not fit to climbany objects anymore
Yuri-too lazy to pack anymore
Jeb-has to use all his time speaking to press,tv and police,so no time to jump in..not to mention need to sew a new fatsuit

You guys should be all right

>>You guys should be all right <<

A "long" Nugget . . .

This is not necessarily a big help... Because he still needs to pack for his jumps he packs a way that scares most people (but it's fast...)

With all these questions you will be mistaken for a Journalist.

and hey just because they have their faces in the media doesnt make them the best jumpers or the best people.

I know who that is on the photo. I wont tell his name butcan give you his number or hook you up for an american date. His wife will get super happy.

good luck in finding fear, death and lost as a avery day thing.

Haha, that is probably right. Tom might die trying to hike the pile of rocks underneeth his bridge. Hart attacks are common in US.

Btw. Tom have you thought about those little cars me and Per was driving around in your home shopping mall. You might take one of those going to the bridge ;)

Yuri, well he is now in risk of getting shot by the US goverment for spreading bad words about them.

Jeb is unfortunally impossible to kill. He is a cartoon superhero and will even after he dies, come back in his Jeb-suit or fat-suit. just like the Phantom. They never grow old and they never die.

so nothig is sertain. but basejumping is not these guys issue anymore.

even though they still got issues, but hey who doesnt ;)

/m

You are SSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOO much a baby in nappies in the BASE world.

That is the incomparable Dr Nik.

God love him.

"Up Ya Bum"

I'm sending some of DW's straws to the living dead!!!!..


Who wants the short one???

Geez. You are sssssooooooo ssssssensssssitive!!!

Anyone for a short straw???

Don't jump with an Australian then.....

he ha haw



p.s. photo is A B - one of the awesome Norgies........

p.s.s. BSBD - BSBD - BSBD

bounce bounce bounce bounce..


On a serious note, there is no such thing as superstition, unless you are supersitious.

YOU are the master of YOUR destiny.

Not some other BASE geek with BSBD quotes.

All the best of luck.

Don't fuck up.

Stay Safe
Have Fun
Good Luck
