hi peeps!!!!

recently purchased the great book of BASE and have to say that if your new to BASE as i am or are just looking for some more info, opinions or help this is an absolute must!!!!!!!! know this is coming across as a sales pitch but i really was blown away by the amount of info contained in these pages...... as the book states it is NOT a how to book or a substitute for a jump instructor but probably the first gathering of knowledge on our sport to be put together and is full of us full tips and advise for new and old jumpers!!!!!

if your interested just follow the link below

i promise you will not be disappointed!!!!!



"The most comprehensive and diverse collection of BASE information available. A must own, must read, for everyone from interested observers and novices to dedicated BASE jumpers and the most seasoned veterans."

yeah, as good of a book as it is, you cant do that.

Sorry. How come??????

I hope it shows how to pack.

No, it doesn't show you how to pack. This would take a book on its own and to be honest I don't think you can really learn this from a book. If you want to learn to pack talk to a jump instructor or find a mentor as I'm trying to...

Stay in one piece

after paying someone to pack 210 times I would want to learn how to pack too.
obviously he was being sarcastic

Who the fuck gave you a decoder ring?!?

In all seriousness, you probably need to
make a few BASE jumps before you put
all of US in your club...

And yes, a person who is experienced at
packing parachutes can learn from a book,
which is why they make parachute manuals.

PS: many of US are in the book

PPS: bring your copy to Bridge Day '12
and I will autograph page 43 for you...
unless of course I die before October

 
I mean no disrespect...

All I was trying to say is I think Matt Gerdes did a fucking good job on his book and for some one in my position, with NO experience, struggling to find any info it really helped.

Nice jump by the way (page 43)


Hope to see you at bridge day!!!!!!!

You're annoying and don't even rate a sarcastic picture.


No offense, I'm sure you're just jazzed and mean well.

What...? What has become of the man we all know and love?

There is another book available which is focused on the actual jumper,

But you need to either be a basejumper or have met someone who has it to get it

Maybe one day mate you will find this book.

ITS OUT THERE

"if your new to BASE as i am".........

First off you're not new to base, you're new to watching dorkTube and reading books about base, ummkaay

"with NO experience, struggling to find any info"......

Second, are you fucking kidding me? How the hell are you "struggling" to find info?? Stop posting dumb shit that we already knew about months ago and start reading. This site is FULL of info, ummkaay

Im sorry but you're an idiot

True that. Over 11,800 threads about BASE jumping. I bet there are at least 30 or so useful ones.

Seriously! Why, just yesterday some helpful chap started a thread in the technical section that helped answer my questions regarding the difference between slider up and slider down jumps.

Not sure why everyone else are being such cunts, however I too agree that The Great Book of Base is every bit as awesome as you say it is. I highly recommend it to all jumpers. Good luck on your journey, have fun be safe.

I can't speak for everybody, but as for me...

I also agree with the base of a great book as awesome, and you said, this is every bit.

ahhhhhhhhhhh glad to see that the friendly vibe still exists here.

ps. I like the book too.
