In the UK there is a bit of a tradition of jumping in a tiny leopard skin thong. Not everyone does this, but quite a few people have done it for their 100th.

I did my 100th 20 years to the day after my first. I took a younger bro for his first that night.

 

Very cool story!!!

My dad is a skydiver and has seen me
BASE jump at Bridge Day but I really
look forward to the first time I get to
take him to watch a bandit load.

so did you hit 100 yet? just curious because i just did 3 solos this morning.

I had a 180 with line twist and hit a guy wire on my 100th. Very exciting!! Landed in line twist. Everything turned out OK because I saved some time on my next pack job...didn't have to set the brakes.

My 100th was a 3 way from the frozen pizza cliff, with my mentor and Cliff Ryder, who I still think has the best BASE jumper name ever.

Hey I also Did My First at Bd 06..
and hopefully do 100th Tonight.
Good luck with Yours

Just like for skydivers: jump naked! (rig, helmet, shoes and socks is considered "naked" )

That was the shit. Sucks the stinger messed up my camera or we'd had some sweet footage of our two way

People, I did that and had it documented as well. Jumping with stinky panties or wearing them is standard in Colorado.

I started in July 08, and I have 4 more till 100, and Ive already planned a naked triple gainer!. It'll be awesome.

Make sure you tuck real tight to get your a-hole spread wide for the camera.

On second thought, maybe a quad-barrel roll...for memories sake

My 100th was a naked two-way. The other jumper pussied out at the last minute though and decided to jump clothed. Something about the 8-year-old children playing in the landing area made him change his mind.

When we'd reached the top of the antenna I threw my clothes off just to make sure I couldn't change my mind. Then after landing I spent nearly an hour searching for my damned jeans in the tall grass!!!

Good stuff. And some funny video.

Back when I was young...

Two of my friends did a drag/lingerie jump (yes, they were both male, and mostly heterosexual--it was just kind of the thing in this crew). The second guy had the bag with both of their normal clothes. After the first guy landed, the cops moved in, top and bottom, to bust both of them. If I remember correctly, the second jumpers words just before jumping (despite the cops yelling at him not to) were "sorry, but I can't let my friend go to jail dressed like that."

My 100 was off a local O, naked, in the snow. Good landing :) fun times

Did my 100 when filming Adrenaline Rush; the science of risk.

Did my 99th jump on the last day (new years eve.)of 1999 and did my 100th on the first day (new years day) of 2000. It was naked off a 1800ft "A" 515 did the video.

on my 100th, i kicked off bridge day as the first jumper in 1996 and qualified for base. there were a lot of people and i somehow got on the cover of most newspapers around the nation.
