Old school BASE vids
Has anyone got some links to vids of guys tearing it up in the nineties/early 2000's? Preferably not tracking and big mountain stuff but dayblazing antennas in sandals/other cool 90's shit
Shortcut
Re: [JamesJnr] Old school BASE vids
No big mountain wingsuit/tracking videos... and slider down day blazing in sandals is coming back. Mountain flying and tracking is starting to become tunnel flying/skydiving videos...scrollllll past.

Re: [JamesJnr] Old school BASE vids
I got a whole bunch of shitty dark antenna night jumps on some mini DV tapes if you want.

I used to get a boner if I thought the shadow that exited off the tower was me.

Now it's just when the woman leaves the house and I'm all alone.

Re: [Ronald] Old school BASE vids
Old timers? When the antennaes were made from wood and the men were made from steel ;-)

Re: [base283] Old school BASE vids
anyone else noticed that old school always has massive delays handheld.....from what ive seen on vids anyway...
Shortcut
Re: [Dunny] Old school BASE vids
Slider-down in Bungles, what a waiste of altitude. At least I did it SU, back in 2000. Velcro rig for sure ;-)

I've owned a rig that had no BOC. Because, heck, it's a BASE jump, who would want to go stowed?

And it's not just the old days:

Jacobs 700th Jump

My faves are the 80's slider up jumps where they have all of the PC fabric open and take a long delay with the PC slowly rolling them over before they just let go of the PC rather than throw it Tongue

On a serious note that 700th jump is sick.

Also no disrespect to oldies meant by this post. I'm just jealous I'll never be a pioneer.

Re: [TomAiello] Old school BASE vids
Shit was that sketchy then....and even these days still see people going handheld without some form of stopping the bridle getting caught under the container like tucking it a bit under riser cover etc ....
Shortcut
Re: [Skez] Old school BASE vids
If you think that slider down handheld is sketchy, it's probably because you've never seen someone tracking with a PC in hand--and a giant loop of slack slapping around at their ankles.
Shortcut
Re: [TomAiello] Old school BASE vids
But why ? Was it no boc or containers with weird pilot chute stow locations like legstrap etc I’m guessing the really early days it was because people jumped skydive gear that was originally ripcord and not throw out style pilot chutes ... ..
Shortcut
Re: [TomAiello] Old school BASE vids
Going handheld is the new gainer. Everyone is afraid to do them, but we all like to watch them.
Shortcut
Re: [try2live] Old school BASE vids
What about a handheld gainer
Shortcut
Re: [Skez] Old school BASE vids
There is the hand held gainer that you present the PC to the air between your legs as you rotate. Its got a good name too...

Re: [Loonie] Old school BASE vids
Talking about old school videos, anybody got a working link to video of Norwegians in lauterbrunnen during winter and, if I remember right, Espen doing some crazy low pulls?
Shortcut
Re: [Loonie] Old school BASE vids

Re: Old school BASE vids
This thread kinda freaks me out. I know all of these videos well and I don't consider myself to be old school. So I went into the basement and started looking at all of my BASE jumping films, some on are on DVDs, but many of them are VHS. And that's when I realized, shit, I'm getting old.

Thanks fuckers!
