Re: What's your favorite base video???
I vote for "superterminal"... quality tracking!

Re: [johan420] What's your favorite base video???
Mine goes for Superterminal too!

Re: [Nicobase56] What's your favorite base video???
I'd vote 2nd Base too.

Speaking of which, does anyone know what happened to the guy in the opening of the movie who jumps hand held from a terminal wall and goes spinning on his back? That was fucked

WTF is speed painting?

And you're a poser for using the "coolness factor" to sell your BMW's.

If you stop to find out anything about the sport and passion of BASE, you might find that being "cool" has nothing to do with it.

Tell him how you really feel.

Continuum II is the greatest BASE movie ever made!

P.S.-what is "flash mobbing"? Is that like bukkake?

Re: [Spiderbaby] What's your favorite base video???
Hey guys,

thanx for your postings so far.

@livewithoutanet:
yeah, 1ntensity is a campaign from BMW, but don't worry, we are not asking you to buy the car or make you watch car videos.

We are interested in finding people who have a passion for live and extreme sports. The videos on www.youtube.com/the1ntensity are about extreme sports and people who have a passion for life. There are videos on sky-jumping, on tesla-coil and by people who have made it an art to sit on a stool. These videos are not about cars.
We are looking for more experiences and for more people who want to show their way of life.

This is one of the videos by a guy called JoJo: http://www.youtube.com/the1ntense

1st base is "THE" video.

You're spaming us for footage to promote your product, and some of us resent it.

Re: [WebRep] What's your favorite base video???
It's a bullshit solicitation. Go spam on imacheesedick.com...quit wasting our time shit stick.

I agree. But, they say everybody has a price. If he was to offer a producer of one of these videos $5000 a minute for said footage, do you think they would turn it down??

It HAS happened before.

Re: [stitch] What's your favorite base video???
Right, but it would be a much different thing if he were soliciting to purchase video. He's not however, instead he's looking to build his success and that of his product on the efforts of others with no compensation.

Some might want to play that game, but I find it to be in very poor taste.

BASEjumper.com is loaded with BASE related articles and information, with a particular emphasis on risk and safety considerations associated with BASE jumping. Online video and photo galleries provide a glimpse into the excitement and dangers associated with BASE jumping.

Re: [wwarped] What's your favorite base video???
Hey guys,

I'm sorry for disturbing you and don't panic, this will be my last posting in this chat ;)

My favorite base video is superterminal, but they are all increadible for me. I have a lot of respect for people who do stuff like that.
I did sky diving several times but I think there is a huge difference between both sports.

All the best to you and once again sorry for disturbing you.

Thank you for your time

Toby

it might sound old fashioned, but people who BASE are a community. this forum is a community.

I think people would get a better response if they tried to GIVE to the group before attempting to TAKE. and if you have nothing to give (yet), at least try to lurk and understand before jumping in.

should you not demonstrate respect before expecting it?

it's a shame you didn't lead with some of the information in your most recent post!Frown

Re: [diablopilot] What's your favorite base video???
Sell me one. I like BMWs.

Check out this baby.


PS: From the nation who spawned such heros as Miles Daisher and Jeb Corliss how can you say being cool has nothing to do with it?
Go on admit it, you think jumping off stuff is cool Wink
