Cliffhanger

As in movie? or video?

The only movie I've really seen was "Tasmanian Devil"
It's a corny Sci-Fi movie about base jumpers finding some old ritual chamber in a park.

That was Awsome. More fun then I've had in five min in a long time. Ok, so my life sucks but lets have some fun. How many errors and anomalies can you find in the gear in there "BASE jumping" scene?

There virgin canyon is Yosemite
Risers with out a main on them
Three rings with out risers on them
Reserve handles backwards
Reserve handles lose
risers hooked up wrong
Main lift web twisted
The oldest gutter gear I've seen in a long time
Talon 1
Northen light
Racer
Old jav
Wonder hog?
Gutter gear becomes a nice two pin
Was that a tarp in the tree?
Where did his rig go after he hit. Backpack?
He left a beaner on the rope then it was gone

You know it's bad when I am criticizing some ones gear.

What else can you find?

Not a movie but there are many great documentary films about Base, this for example.

"He left a beaner on the rope then it was gone"

Fuck off you creepy ass cracker!

They disappear like that all the time when ever you have a job for them. It was the middle of the day. It was probable taking a cesta.

Lee

03:50, did he make it through the tree?

They all had on GoPros. Technical accuracy.

The presents of gopros inconsestant with the age of the equipment. Also none of them were wearing goofy looking free fly style suits, tracking suits, or wing suits with ugly stripes or matching colors. Which is also inconsistent with the presants of gopros. Who would risk being seen on camera wearing simple technical out door jackets with no cool free fly stripes.

Lee

is that the spanish indian kid from "hey dude"?

without a doubt 1st BASE is the best BASE movie ever made. the soundtrack is original music by "yelp". just watched the trailer, it gave me orgasmic chills up my spine and reminded me of how excited i was about BASE jumping back in the day. this is serious old school, i own this movie on VCR tape : )

i give this movie a 10, which is 5 higher than 5.

time to get my mojo back.

Did you just use "to wit" on a forum post?

no.

great BASE Scene

Not a BASE movie per say, but it shows some urban BASE.

Birdmen is mostly about BASE.

Props for staying belly to earth whist flailing around like that.

Buddy showed me this one. It's a 27min documentary "The Bridge to Nowhere". It's all in Russian, just turn on the subtitles.
Just a fair warning, it does show deaths.
