If you happen to post your pre-BASE activities on there, it seems it would be mighty easy for LEO to take advantage and come 'watch' sometime.

I prefer to be a bit more private regarding my activities...BASE and otherwise.

Hookit,

I'm not aware of it happening...yet, but isn't that what it's all about?

Giving others constant, one line, mini-updates on your activities?

If one can post to Twitter from a web enabled phone, it's just a matter of time before it starts happening. Action pics too.

I've been riding nylon for damn near 35 years...23 of that BASE, and it just seems to me that more of the 'Look at me!' people are filtering into BASE...I guess because it's so damn easy to buy your way in these days.

gotcha

Interesting thing though, you still don't hear about most exploits. There is a whole group of jumpers I just met right here in my back yard. I knew some of them but until we met again at a birthday gathering, I had no Idea they were jumping 10 minutes away from me.

I'm signed up on twitter now just to check it out.
