Twin Falls, Night, April 17th . . .
Is anyone going to be jumping on April 17th in the evening? I'm going to be there for just one night and would like to bang out a few without all you knobs being around. Ya know, like a real BASE jump . . .

Like a real BASE jump.

I'd be there if I could, since it's going to be real.

nick.

you're sooo cool. your always raggin on the hew school. and blasting the red bull guys, and lableing yourself as the pirate generation or the phone home generation or whatever,

you shittalked the redbull hilton thing in san diego, then posted a pic of you dayblazing it.

you used to publish a base magazine. you write articles for skydiving all the time. youre the self appointed base historian.

but you are underground. your a phone home pirate.
youre a real base jumper.

a real one.

not like all those other fake base jumpers. making fake base jumps.

i may not have had to go thorough all the trials and tribulations of basejumping in the early eighties.

i mostly jump at night. illeagly, and on probation.
i have a daughter and a wife (in 8 days...)

i LIKE legal jumps. they are stress-free. play time.
and i can fucking SEE. i drove halfway across the country once for a daytime antenna. for one jump.

thats nice. you may think its fake, and kiddy-shit and all that, but change is constant. like death.

and we will all die. and the world will always change, be it base or otherwise.

im sure youre a nice guy in person and all that, but sometimes on the board you come off as a real hypocrite. no animosity here. just an observation.

and in the interest of full disclosure ive never been to perrine. i jump maybe once or twice a month.. quality over quantity kind of thing. ive been jumping for almost 4 years now. and if you or anyone else would like to talk about it in person, my fone number is 904.449.8081.

sorry for the rant. -b

I couldn't agree more, and you even managed to say it with class, I think. Well done.

Unfortunately, my doctor says I can't run or jump. But I can watch or have a drink, or something.

Hey Nick,

Whats a real BASE jump?

Whats a fake BASE jump?

Actually, do you even know what a BASE jump is?
BASE is an acronym that stands for building antenna span earth. Jumping off a span such as the perrine, EVEN IF IT IS DURING THE DAY, is a BASE jump.

I love jumping at night, and I love jumping during the day. Daytime jumps with your bros or new friends you meet at a legal object are still BASE jumps.

Its killing me that you have the answers to the above questions and I dont know as much as you about what a real BASE jump is.

Please Please pretty please with COKE on top tell me!
