There are so many things in BASE nowadays I never thought I'd see. BASE video games, BASE action figures (sort of) and now this . . .

BASE 194

I SO want one.

I could see a series of tandem jumps where Mr. Base exits from my pocket, say at 1500 feet, while I am under canopy.

I wish they had closeups of the rig on that video... How do the pins get pulled? How do they pack the canopy?

That is Great!!! Im gonna buy one!!

they should huck one off el-cap and see if the NPS tries to get them for unauthorized arial delievery

I always thought it should be cool to open the student's chutes via remote control from below, but after that movie...I'm not sure anymore.

"the student's chutes "

BASE student or do you mean skydiving, right?

A couple of years ago, I ended up sewing a similar sized 7 cell canopy for a much different project, but never did we get the heading performance that this guy is getting...

Nasty line twists were regularly a problem!

I wonder what he's using for the suspension lines and on what basis he's selecting the trim?

I didn't think the heading performance was that great... I think the throw had something to do with the flight after opening. The momentum of the throw caused it to move away no matter how the canopy opened... although that first one sucked!

I'd say that guys skillz and flights parallel most jumpers today... let's see 10-15 jumps: 1 tree landing; 1 building strike; a few low/no pulls; mostly bad landings but still the bitchin' flips and body position

Fun shit! How much are they??

He needs a PLF button if he can't get him to shlare the tarp!

I think the wooden RC guy needs a slider though.

Im was impressed that the canopy stayed inflated after multiple building strikes. He was taking pretty nice delays on most of them to from only 200ish feet.
