blasting sidewinds?

all the windsocks were pinned in several different directions, this is how we knew that it was a clean wind, undisturbed by any of the surrounding ohstacles and totally good to go.

Yeah fukin k-rad, kool beans elite shit doodz.

Nice, someone almost fucks themselves up at the BASE equivalent of a Demo pulling a double with skis on in conditions that most sensible jumpers would have walked down from, and all people can say is "cool"?

Guess we learned something from Jan, huh?
