Admittedly I swiped this idea from Howard on the other side of the wall. But I suppose BASE is old enough now for "History & Trivia."

Name this BASE jumper and the object. Okay, don't name the object, but if you know the jumper's name just say, "I know that place," and we'll let it go at that . . .

Right timeframe, but wrong guy.

I recognize the object, but not the jumper.

I don't remember the other guys name. It was on some video following "From Gravity Came Groundrush." Hoover, Payne, Roso, Alan, Mike, and another guy was there.

>>Hoover, Payne, Roso, Alan, Mike, and another guy was there.<<

Closer, but no cigar.

Here's a hint . . .

He came up with a great nugget. "I've made over a hundred BASE jumps, and I finally went to a Bridge Day and got fucking busted."

It was the year Jean Boenish refused the permit because the weather was so bad. The Rangers were very insisting she sign the permit, as they knew the ensuing carnage would get the bridge shut down forever.

The same stunt they pulled in Yosemite.

A few jumpers mutinied and jumped anyway. This jumper landed on the tracks and RR bulls cited and confiscated his gear.

Tim Sell? We dated the same chick for a while - think he had better luck. I was at that BD, getting schooled up by Mark H. Fun shit. . .

1989 - Had to look at my logbook - been too long.

>>Tim Sell?<<

Winner!

Funny, I was thinking about Tim the other day....Gentle Giant.

How 'bout another game, Nick (or anybody) - Where Are They Now?

What is Tim up to these days? Still in CA.?

Can't, I'm banned for having a free mind . . .

Oh god, please grant somone, on the American side of the pond, who understands free thought (from crapola) the wherewithall to start a website for parachutists as popular as this one . . .

What the hell does that mean? You've been told these reindeer games aren't a proper use of bandwidth? If so, I couldn't disagree more - but, it ain't a democracy, right? Oh well. . .

Fits very well with the whole dayblaze thing...

"Why fall Fall, earth call, man small, that's all"......Did I get it right?

>>What the hell does that mean?<<

Nothing at all - I was having a brain fade - sorry everyone . . .
