See what you have started Haze. You are revolutionizing the sport...for what?! What god dammit?!!! Drink?

Look what you have started Haze..

Might as well translate it.

Haha, you crack me up, bro. Who's that handsome man in the opening shot? We are sketchy!

I will teach you how to skateboard and bring the stoke if you teach me how to look so good in front of a video camera?

Fuck skateboarding, BASE jumping is not a crime. I bring the stoke anyways.. -Hollywood

Party til impact! No more lost cameras!

Cool video, looked like a lot of fun.

However, one thing needs to be openly discussed. It has been mentioned here once before not too long ago. It completely ruined your otherwise nice video.

What is this growing trend of exiting with your hand on the PC? Please explain.

I am pretty sure it was a nervous thing for the individuals who did it. It was a trip that included two qualifications, including a jumper who got his E. He was a little nervous and it made him feel better about it. That all stopped after the first E jumps. The two way the conditions weren't perfect for the jump and we were timing Lulls, so it was a PC check that continued off the cliff. That jumper does not normally do it.

Why would how a new jumper exits NEED to be openly discussed with you? And before you even heard a discussion, this exit COMPLETELY ruined your video experience? Not all of us have a European birthright with loads of legal terminal cliffs.

EDIT- I thought the video was fine with nothing too sketchy at all and the dudes exit didn't warrant the negative feedback.

Its one of tthree reasons.

One, he doesn't have tits to hold on to.

Two, Its a hybrid of going stowed AND hand held at the same time.

or Three, Its his decision and not yours.

Now after chosing One, I re-thought it and decided it was number Three!

Its funny, but its not like its dangerous. If it makes him happy then who cares if he exited with both hands up his ass? Are you implying that it needs to be discussed because you believe that somehow it puts the sport in jeopardy? This crew has amazing style...maybe not always on every jump, but you should see us drink.
Cheers!

Edited to add: and lately fuck up some landings.

This video rocks!

Well shit, sarcasm is really hard to get through to people over the internet. But I'm very happy atleast a couple of you got your panties a little bit bunched up. What I think I tried to say was:

"Nice vid! But man those two dudes exiting with their hand on the pc looked pretty ridiculous TO ME. Just go hand held, its ok, your friends won't laugh at you. Much."

And ofcourse this puts the entire sport at risk. How could it not! At risk of dying for the lack of a sense of humor. My humor would probably be easier to understand if I wrote in my native language.

And Hank where ever you are from I'm pretty sure you have higher cliffs around than we do here in Finland. Our tallest is 38m which is 5hrs away. The second one is 33m and thats 900km from my house. But Europe is Europe, and we are all blessed. Legal and terminal all the way!

Seattle boys, thank you for sharing your video, it was entertaining!
I just love these forums!

I agree with everything you are saying.

Here is a flawless video. I can't stop watching it and I don't even play golf. Bubba Watson may have won this year, but not like this.

Ooooooooh sarcasm, dammit I miss that everytime. Now that I read some of Jebs posts on the other thread, Kerkko, if you would just add a shitload of these---> :) :) :) to everything you write, I'll get it then;).

Love the logo.. love the video.. Great work guys! Looks like an awesome trip. I recognize the GoPro video, but what other cameras did you use? Great quality vid. Was the GoPro the new version?

Awesome jumps!

It was mostly gopro, but there was a film crew that heard we were going to be there and decided they wanted to investigate us ;) they had nice stuff.
SBC - it's not always pretty, but it is always pretty fun

well i may not be SBC, but you know damn well i can add to that dynamic! see you fuckers this summer

It's flawless because he doesn't have his hand on PC!!

I hereby officially christen the "hand on PC" exit technique with the new (and official) name:

"The Finnish Go and Throw"

I will be teaching this technique, under this name, in all FJC's from this point on.

I believe that the exit count for this jump will likely be a mandatory "Fuck the Finns!"

It's back!

Looks like when the website broke, this was archived back to 2005.

Edit: Oh look, The timestamp corrected itself after I replied. All but Tom's post had the year 2005 on it.

I believe that's because Finnish BASE is stuck in the past.

You obviously don't know my Friends!

Try2live was right though. defiantly a continuation of a PC check. considering the exit count was "GO NOW" i though i was being efficient at a last minute check as I'm jumping off of a cliff!

you think thats sketchy? you should of seen the CRW we were doing on our way to the LZ.

[quote you think thats sketchy? you should of seen the CRW we were doing on our way to the LZ.The only reason we were doing crew was because the wind was pushing you into me..Im sure that counts as XCRW.. "Extreme crew...When the option is not yours"

SUbIllBaby...The only reason we were doing crew was because the wind was too intense for a legit jump. You know this because you were there. It was making us "wait for the Lulls" for the exit, and started pushing you into me shortly after opening..Im sure that counts as XCRW though..
