A few of us UK guys are having an unofficial "BASE race", just thought I would throw it out here to see if anyone else fancies posting a time. Nothing serious but possibly a bit of a laugh.

1) Complete BASE in the correct order.
2) Clock starts as you enter the B or climb the fence surrounding it. Clock stops as your feet hit the ground after the E.
3) PCA/SL are allowed but must use a closed container on all jumps. So not Tards, Rollovers etc.
4) 1 rig only and must pack yourself.
5) Maximum 1 car/van. No helicopter, planes, jet skis etc.
6) A's should transmit so no power towers.
7) B's should be a real B's no cranes, chimneys or any other excuse for a B.
"closing date" 23:59 31/12/11
or for our American friends 23:59 12/31/11.



Ladies & Gentlemen, start your engines.

Telescope? Awesome! I'm intrigued.

A famous radio telescope in Cheshire was done about 3 years ago ...

Yes by me and 2 others, I was 1st off.

game on

That sounds like a blast!

Why do the A's have to have 3 wires?

are there any time reductions if you jump all new objects?

Any bonus points for object strikes or police chases ?

Mmm, is that all national winners? Or overall winners?Really depends a lot on the location so seems a bit unfair. On the other hand, up to the jumper to find such a spot.

Dave, wires separate an A from a free stander/pylon.
They are a major hazard and define the object, however a few on the " rules committee" seem to have a problem finding one so free standers are now permitted but not power towers etc. "they must transmit"

Vid666, no points but a suggested (optional) £20 penalty to a charity if you hit an object or get busted.

Roland, It is all about location, location, location.
Get on an easyjet flight to the UK.

Like I said just a bit of fun.
We have a bottle of Vodka and a bottle of Scotch for the UK winners. Just put in on here to see what other countries are able to do it in.

How about getting chased up 29 floors in a B under construction by an angry alsatian guard dog all the way to the exit point where he stands watching you jump licking his lips?-Surely there must be bonus points for that??!!
Hypothetically speaking of course because this scenario could never happen in the real world, in london, at 4am, this morning...
DTM.

That made me giggle

I bet it wasn't funny at the time, but the video is!

Blue and yellow : "err........the dog.........."
Jade and White : "what? ......fuck off......."

Before calmly climbing outside the building laughing.

OK first "official" UK times is 7hrs, 13Mins and 15 Sec.

Not going to be the fastest and we did stop for an hour or so "dinner break" but kept the clock running.
