Just curious....

62% at night
38% in the day

and to break it down even further

B - 11% night 1% day
A - 47% night 9% day
S - 2% night 12% day
E - 0% night 15% day
O - 2% night 1% day

^ You either have so little jumps or so much time if you can calculate it that precisely :)

Actually, it is all calculated for me, in a handy spreadsheet logbook.
I have much more info than that too.
And yeah, I don't have too many jumps, and I have alot of time...

If I take away europe, its got to be like 95%

Wasnt a good way to split up Europe jumps....

iF IT'S 11% NIGHT AND 1% DAY, THEN WHAT IS THE OTHER 88% OF YOUR B's? AND SO FORTH AND SO ON?

278 of my 420 jumps are at night.

well, add up the numbers, and it accounts for 100% of my jumps.
for example, 0%of my jumps are from a cliff at night

are night base jumps more cool? cuz I have my night base number but I live in utah and 90% of my jumps are legal and during the day I wish we had more buildings with better access

anyone here batshit crazy enough to have any jumps off a subterminal E at night?

 

I've done wingsuit terminal E's at midnight, although Norwegian summer nights aren't really that scary ;)

back to school for you then?

 

Try again.

Tons of people im sure.

My first E was at night in a rock quarry. It had one or two lights at the bottom near huge piece of machinery that made the whole scene look very creepy and awesome. Had plenty of time to look at it on the hour long hike out. Very cool jump.

Don't have a night/day option on my logbook spreadsheet. That is a cool idea.

also have wind speed, direction, and heading performance.
makes for some cool graphs

So wouldn't that mean 100% of your E jumps are during the day? Not 15%

well. i guess you have to look at it in a broad sense.
the percentages are broken down too, as part of my total jumps
15% of my total jumps are off a cliff in the day.

I have few times but im not the smartest guy in the world

Yes. I'm pretty sure he means 15% of his total jumps is from an E during the day.

Gauley try reading the statistics vertically instead of horizontally. Now add the corresponding letters after deciphering the day/night ratio. E makes up 15% of his overall jumps, and none of them are at night.

Sorry just realized I made an

I know. Im just fuckin' around. I don't have anything better to do on a Friday sitting at at home watching the storms blow in....

At least you're bored at home.

Do you think this is real or photoshopped

YES

I thought so too

Can eyes moved all the way down to feet? That would be helpful for new developing extreme sports like wingsuit balloon kicking.

And yes, it's Photoshopped. See that round thing in the bottom right corner?

Photoshop.

So you think if Jeb would've done that with his eyes he would've cleared the ledge

Since I am such an old and decrepit relic, here are the rough stats from the early days.

All Buildings at night.

All but a few antennas at night.

Most bridges during the day, but some at night.

Cliffs. Only one terminal during the day. Subterminals about. 50/50, Including the earliest known occurrence of nudity.

NightBASE 32

Yep, they're badass. There are several more cliffs I want to do under a full moon, the visuals are insane.

Yes, It was in one of those restricted places, Accuracy landing from 200 ft. Linked it up with a low span.

I don´t know if it counts as subterminal but couple of my "more memorable" jumps in LB are :

- 4 way off the high nose counting down the seconds to the year change while watching new year fireworks, changing the year in freefall with 3 good friends with whom I just spent an hour on the exit drinking cognac to keep warm.
- A 3 way with 2 of my best jumping buddies off the same exit under full moon on some random winter night couple of years back

The 4way on the new year eve was really intense as it was really dark and you couldn´t see shit. :) Planning was the key for sure and knowing the people around you that they will also jump the plan. The 3way on full moon was epic as the whole valley was perfectly lit from the moonlight reflecting from the snow.

When you people sleepin, the GhettoBirdz be creepin

A couple months ago, the Night BASE # was just under 220. Although I figure that it would be higher if everyone actually applied for a night number.

Not saying that all the qualifying E's were sub-terminal but I know at least a couple that were :)

When you come visit we can hook you up if you like.

Says the guy who had a 180 at night on a sub-terminal E.

Trans, when you come up north you'll have to ask how he earned the nickname, VH1.

Yeah, even did 2-ways
It's fun

Got my night BASE # in Moab at midnight. Gainer with a good group of people
