Night BASE
what is the criteria for a night-BASE jump?...does it have to be completely dark as in an ass, or do i followed the sunset-sunrise rules??
oh`well..one of my bridge jumps definitive fell under the category "dark as in an ass"...first time ever with a camera, highest bridge in the world..of course i screwed it up, all i saw on the clip was the light on the bridgeMad

Re: [johan420] Night BASE
I'd pretty much say it is one of those jumps where you'd have to turn your car headlights on while driving to the object (unless you've been there for a while waiting for the sun to go down), and you have to use a flashlight to see the numbers on the lock tumbler, if your into that sorta thing.
I'm not too sure bout the "as in an ass" thing though. I did jump an object that was next to a sewer treatment plant, that stunk pretty awful like.Tongue

have a safe new year

Re: [johan420] Night BASE
Since most objects are jumped at night - don't you find "Day BASE" to be more difficult to get?

Re: [tdog] Night BASE
Now that you mention it I realize that I don't have day base, only night. I lack a B for day. Funny that I've never considered it before... That's what I get for thinking.

Greetings XXXXX

Yes, you are correct, you need to jump all four objects at night.

If you already have a BASE Number, there is no additional fee to issue the Night Number as there is no plastic card for that.

Following is a copy of what we need to issue a number. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Cya,

Joy

Hello BASE jumpers:

Rick and I issue the original World BASE Numbers and Night BASE Numbers which were started by Carl and Jean Boenish in January 1981 when the first BASE # was earned. Carl always believed that BASE jumping would catch on, and he was right. Your BASE number is your link back to the beginning of our sport.

To apply for a BASE Number, we need the following information:

1. Name and address, or a self addressed envelope. Phone number is optional.

2. Name and/or location and altitude of each of the four objects.

3. Date of each object, especially the date and TIME of your qualifying jump. The time of your qualifying jump is important in case someone else in the world qualified on the same date.

4. Any descriptions of the jumps or jump stories will be appreciated and will remain strictly confidential.

5. On the subject of donations, we ask for $10 to issue a number to help cover our costs for postage and supplies, totally voluntary. If you want the plastic card with your number and qualifying date and Carl Boenish's signature embossed, there is a $5 fee.

In respect for the privacy of individuals and integrity of the BASE Numbers, we will not be issuing them by email. Our original BASE Constitution requires confidentiality. We will take the information about your jumps by email and lock in your qualifying date until we receive your letter.

We wait thirty days to issue your number to make sure the rest of the worlds mail has time to get here.

KEEP HAVING FUN, ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL!!!

Re: [Waldschrat] Night BASE
Hmmm I never even thought about the difference between night and day base. I just assumed besides the huge obvious legal sites and events, that the vast majority of base was done at night anyway.
