Re: [Treejumps] Big Way at Bridge Day 2015
will they be adding this to the end of the jump window? just curious if things like this (things they want us to do) are being used as bargaining chips for more time on the bridge.
just because i want to go out for ice cream too, doesn't mean i don't still use it as a bargaining chip to get the kids to clean their rooms.

That's funny, the BDC always hated big ways during my 13 years. Someone must be desperate.

The NPS permit caps big ways at 15. We had a few years where there was some big way interest, but things never materialized since some jumpers saw it as too much of a risk. If you watch the videos from the 1990s, you'll see that big ways at NRGB were tough due to the small LZ, narrow width of the river, and only four boats.

Boycott Bridge Day 2015.

Please note the start date of this thread. It makes more sense that way, yes?

Yes, it's April 1 today. Based on all the unbelievable things I've read lately, I'm not so sure Tree is joking in this thread.

The last two weeks have sort of been April fools, don't you think? It all started when we read the news about a jumper sliming his way in to help the BDC despite the boycott. And he says he wants to add an antenna on top of the bridge!

Re: [Treejumps] Big Way at Bridge Day 2015
Am I the only one to think you need 15 jumpers for that ?

You sir, are a disgrace to what it means to be an actual community. You should be ashamed.

Haha, that was my thought as well.

How many skydivers will be making their first BASE jump on this 15 way Tree?
