Miles D , what it be ?

Here is the original thread:

http://www.dropzone.com/..._latest_reply;so=ASC

It is locked but I am curious how many he hs year to date. 2006 is almost over.....

Someone PM Miles this thread, I forget his username.

I just talked to Miles today, I think he said 30 jumps to 730. Whooo Hoooo!

So what is his grand total life time jumps? Also who has the most of all time?

DBR

man, there is no way to tell who does for sure, because BASE doesnt have the super-reliable, un fakeable, logbooks that all skydivers have.

I heard from Miles a few weeks ago after his 1700th base jump ever. He's good.

Congrats are in order then!

Way to go Milea!


DAVE

Tom Manship had over 1,800 BASE jumps a couple of weeks before he died. (it was between 1825 and 1850...I can't seem to recall what the exact number was)

Of course, for most, it's not about the numbers. It's about the experiences, the fun, the memories, and the friends you make along the way.

And I think it's safe to say that Miles is having a lot of fun. Congrats Miles!

But the real question is, who's going to win Clifhuckstable's Vision?

Bryan

How many of those were unpacked jumps from the Perrine Bridge?

... To which I think the best reply has already been posted:

306

Quite honestly, I think that anyone who likes to have their friends get on-line and spray about their numbers ought to be willing to break down those numbers.

Wow. That's an amazing coincidence. I must have been present for most of Miles' unpacked jumps. I had thought that he mostly jumped unpacked, but I guess it's just that I coincidentally happen to be out when he's running up the unpacked laps, and miss all of his packed jumps.

Hey, since you seem to have his logbook information, would you mine posting a breakdown of the jumps, like the ones posted here by Dwain and others? I'm sure many people are interested in what statistics can be drawn from such a large number of jumps.

Thanks!

I was going to comment about Tom M's jumps but didn't....


I as interested in the statistics too.


DBR

I posted only because I find this backhanded shit-flinging more than a little tiresome. I respect you and consider you a friend, but you don't make the world a better place by being catty.

HI Tom.

just because miles has more jumps than you does not mean you need to be angry or jealous or demand proof.

Don't be silly. You guys are grown ups.

Let see who is going to banned forever over this.

RIP nicknitro.

Tom.. i think your a cool guy but put down the pipe..(said in a freindly way)
I dont agree in many thing about Miles,but im of the belive that what he has done is damn impressive,If 306 jumps were unpacked off Perrine so what.. I LOG UNPACKED AS BASE ASWELL,when i do unpacked im jumping off fixed,hence fixedobject jumping..

Some people dont think SL is BASE either you need to pitch your self.. how many jumps we all got for real then?

Miles,you have done fantastic,hats off,if i could make that many jumps in a year i wouldnt even be sure i could pull it off anyway,only thing i regret is if you dont hit 850jumps of this year,which were my bet..

Its all about having fun,enjoying yourself and suroundings

I think unpacked jumps are a very nice and fun BASE jumps, and who told us what is real and what not...

BASE jumping is everything that you want to be.., I know just one father of the BASE jumping, is call CARL BOENISH

Dont let grow the ENVY, is not healty..

Jump, and log wath you want, like me, I have 1.345.835 BASE jumps of my bed....jejejejejeje

nico

Excactly.

I think there are BASE-jumps and lazy ass unpacked bridgejumps. ;)

Me and the Northen Norgies made about 30 - 40 big wall climbs this year each. thats about 40.000 altitude meters to climb. Id like to see anybody do a 200 of those a year. hehe.

There are jumpers and there ar jumpers ;)

in responce to jt........... hi tom.....get over it !!

Funny, thought the rules was pretty clear to everybody.

You can only log 25 jumps from the Perrine :)

Questions?

PerFlare
Team Bautasten

Yea thats what I heard aswell.

Bridgejumping is for training, for cripples that cant walk at all or for jumpres that are to drunk.

You can only log 25 jumps from Perrine, its clear.

While we are talking about this, Who is the best basejumper in the world??? ;)

/martin

Per day. When the winds or temperature change, it becomes an entirely new object. Instead of landing one way, you may choose to land in another direction, which completely changes the whole jump.

Also, if you've had lunch and are loading your canopy more heavily from one jump to the next, then the 25-jump-per-day clock should be reset.

Furthermore, with a sufficient amount of "Woohoo's" and "Yea's", any jumper may be exempted from this limit

"If it can kill you... then it is a BASE Jump"


You can quote me on that too.


So if you are closest an do not go over do you still win? I bet 701.


DBR

makes you climbers not jumpers if you jump off whith a single parachute systems you then are climbers who´re too lazy to climb down again.. it has NOTHING to do whith BASE..

IM THE BEST BASEjumper in the world,just sad only my mom think so

BASE is what you make of it.

BASE is a self-limiting sport.

BASE is a finite sport. If you do it long enough, you will die doing it.

There are so many different flavors and sects among jumpers around the world that it has become essentially impossible to determine who's better at what and who's more hardcore than their bretheren or sisteren.

I still have not been to the Idaho bridge. I could not imagine making 25 jumps over a few days. I still savor my individual jumps (maybe because I have no choice) like a sipping a fine wine, and not gulping it.

i think tom is damn right to ask about how many unpacked of the perrine. and without anyone taking offence either.
full marks to Miles for this hardcore achievement,it must be the record for 1 year. its going to be really hard to beat and of course they absolutely are all base jumps but an unpacked jump from that bridge is hardly the same as a big wall base/ascent now is it?. if numbers are important to you then surely like in climbing you should be honest about how you got up there?. im not trying to dis unpacked jumping or anything, i wouldnt like to see basejumping degrade into animosity between the sub-disiplines hey, after all it isnt the same sport as skydiving is it?
so if Miles is reading this: with all due respect Sir how did you do it?how many? from what?

Best BASE jumper in the world? That is easy : everyone who isn't next on the list.

I look forward to visiting again and trying to climb faster than your granny (with one leg). Tell my hero John he is still my god and the shrine is growing...

Nice.... exactly how it should be.... If you do 10 skydives in the day do you remember how cool the first one was? If you do 10 BASE jumps in a day do you remember the intensity you felt, the way your PC touched your hand in freefall, the way your leg was slightly kicking? on the first one?.... why risk your life for something you dont remember the fine details about?

Yes PerFlare, I have a question. Does that apply to any other object(s)?

Thanks in advance

If you were given the opportunity to jump from an elevator tower or building 10 times in one day, are you saying you wouldn't do it?

Depends.........if you get caught are you going to be in 10 times as much trouble??

i think he meant if it were LEGAL to jump an elevator tower 10 times in a day would you? How many jumps did you do in august of this year hookit?

Yes that is what I meant.
Thanks

Hello hookitt!

No, this just apply to the Perrine :)

PerFlare
Team Bautasten

guess i never made a real basejump then..

i have 0 terminal jumps,actually no jumps above 1000ft,i have like 10ish slider up jumps(most done off Perrine)
I have more jumps unpacked than i have slider ups..

you just did above

he would do exactly 1 jump... belive me...
Me,i would see if i could do 11,just for the fun of it

whoa hang on there chum, hows your english? i think you misunderstand me, i am in no way trying to claim that unpacked jumps are not a real base jump and i think i was trying to say the opposite. if you want to get the most jumps done then unpacked is the best way to do it. something i love about base is that if you are doing it you should do it your own way, dont jump by someone elses standards or rules. but if you want to claim you have the most or biggest or best or strongest or even the longest one then lets all see it!!
if a climber tells me about an ascent the first thing i ask is maybe which route did you take? and top roping isnt the same thing as leadclimbing with little or no protection right? but if they climbed up there then they are still a climber no matter how they did it.
why are people taking offence to questions of how?
im really sorry if i gave you the impression i think your achievements were any less than mine.
kudos to martinrosen and the northern norgies for an immense way to jump this year and kudos to Miles for doing the same. also congratulations to sabre210 on his 290th jump from 100 different objects. i think you all hardcore basejumpers.

That sucks that you missed all of his unpacked jumps man. I was there for a bunch of them this summer and they looked damn good.

You said "Bridgejumping is for training".

Funny you should say that, I feel the same way about big wall jumps. I mean really, big wall jumps are practically a really low skydives, you use a slider and everything. Its so safe you have to track along the cliff just to make it more dangerous! Everybody knows real BASE jumpers throw insane aerials off ridiculously low objects and then have to run from the man.
I agree with Faber, your not "REAL" BASE jumpers your just lazy hikers.
Since we've defined what a real BASE jump is you can no longer log more than 25 big wall training jumps.

Nope. I've enquired about that already. Only the Perrine bridge is logged no more than 25 times. Nothing else applies as of yet. Take it up with the board and let us know when additional objects are in the 25 logged only category.

Thank you

how about the east side of "the moon tower" timmy?

Yes, question. Does this apply to the entire object?? Or can you log 25 jumps per side??

Oooooohhh BURN! Tim is so busted! Have you been padding your BASE #s with whatever this "Moon Tower" object is. I heard only 5 M.T. jumps add to your total #s!......Oh F*ck it, I can't flame if I don't know what your talking about.....

Hello Stitch,

The entire object I'm afraid.

PerFlare
Team Bautasten

i guess so

the offence were that a person that dislike another person were as first thing trying to pull down a achivement.. no matter if 306 jumps were unpacked and off the same object out of the total 700+ i think dosnt really matter.
Nobody asked why a aussie didnt pack himself when he did his world record,personaly i dont give a #### if he did or not,i couldnt make 100+ jumps in 24 hours even if i had packers,neither would i be abel to do just the 306 unpacked jumps Miles did off the same off the same object in a year..
I think theres no reasson to pull such achivement apart like that,asking for facts the other way would be ok,like on how many objects,slider up down,unpacked etc etc

i used me as an example,i dont care if other than i think i achieved anything aslong as i think i do what i like.. Its all what matter to me. That i takehats off to others is another thing...

Peace out

i think that miles did not jump at all he has a clone jumping for him a clone that rides a unicorn

And I thought it was captn kangaroo! Now I know it was one of Miles' clones.

"Quite honestly, I think that anyone who likes to have their friends get on-line and spray about their numbers ought to be willing to break down those numbers. "

It's too bad the Venerable Mr. Aiello doesn't have the balls to apologize for his not so thinly veiled personal attack on Miles. You should keep your petty personal issues to yourself. You're the Moderator for Christ sake.
You have no knowledge that Mles has asked anyone to "spray" about him online. Be a man. Apologize and don't make excuses.

Ok. I apologize for letting my personal issues with Miles' and his crowd get the better of me in this forum.



That's definitely not true. Miles has told me that he asked Shane to "pump him up" on these forums.

Of course, you have dropped out of this discussion since stirring the pot. Maybe you banned yourself for a week. Good call.

Of course I would do 10 jumps a day if possible. It's just not easily possible where I actively jump. almost every single jump i've done was a single jump so it has taken a lot of time and effort to get 477 base jumps.

dude, that was page one stuff. the thread returned more to topic on page 2.

now you are stirring the pot...

to what end?

I won't defend Tom. Tom has apologized (as you asked). claim your victory. move on. be productive.

Agreed.

Amen. Good on ya Tom.

but you banned Shane from even viewing the forum, thus it is not happening. nobody is pumping anyone up or spraying about jump numbers. you asked how many unpacked perrine BASE jumps miles has and since I know everything, I answered.

didn't I mention that in any of my other posts? (that I know everything)

Thanks for the answer. It's not possible here either. I and many others would have 2000+ BASE jumps by now and no "access skills". The question I asked Mac was in referrence to temporary access. A legal day or couple days of jumping from a building.

When the event is over, go back home and return to your regularly scheduled program

Hey Mac, The question was originally directed towards you. Sooooo, would ya jump once or 10 times, or even 6 times?

What... is the airspeed velocity of an unladen Swallow?

vertical or horizontal?

4

HA!!! You clearly don't know everything. Many ane most things perhaps but everything?.. I think not. The proper response would be very similar if not exactly ... "What do you mean? An African or European swallow?"

The answer to both is 17.
When in doubt, the answer is always 17 or (c) depending on the question.

No it's not, it's 42!

Oh yes I forgot, for you guys it's different since you're a few hours behind.

Definitely not true.

Actually if could be any number you so choose....


I had an engineering professor who said the answer could be three to any numerical type question.

It all depends on the units! You can tweak the units type so much to achieve any number you so desire.

what if the number is unitless?

Then is x/3.

Yeah I forgot about Reynold's, Nusslet, and Prantal....


I would just blame it on "String Theory"


Sorry I couldn't resist knowing you are a physicist.

DBR

The Europeans are more likely to swallow

Actually zero is probably the answer. Mac had an invite to the UK crane boogie and respectfully turned it down (he doesn't go for the high profile stuff). I sneaked my way onto that load and made 9 jumps (plus another jump that night with Belgian Johan). I had one of the best days of my life, Mac might've done a solo that night and felt the same - to each their own.

Generally I only take an occasional hit from the BASE pipe, but I've got some friends who have a sub-terminal needle hanging from each eyeball with an intravenous static-line on the side. I jump enough to keep me happy and sane and that is good enough for me.

As for this 'prissy posse vs. the we're so fuckin' rad crew' bullshit - I reckon all of you should take a break from that stupid fucking bridge and come make some jumps back out in the real world.

Write on skreamer! Best post I've read in a long time...

Damn...get off the fence.

Good stuff.
