Ray and Spence Bounce Proof, BASE Course

We have our 1st Student Mail us this morning.
To inquire about....
Ray And Spenser Bounce Proof, BASE Course
Mr. N. Nitro told me that he already had 10 BASE jumps.
I Explained to him that he sounded a little over Qualified
with Canopy exsperience.
I could sense the Disappointment in him typing.

--But Dammit We Aim To Please !---
He is now checking his busy schedual to make arrangements,
and will be getting back to us shortly.

Thanks... Ray Losli
Be Safe

We had another inquiry to.....
Ray and Spence Bounce proof, BASE course

This was from a Mr. Hookitt
He told us that he had 230 BASE jumps
I told him that he was definatly over Qualified
And most likely Tainted with, Evil Skydive Canopy control habits.

I and the Staff reviewed his application thoroughly.
I will be hard to teach an Old Dog new tricks, but
our Main Goal is....
Customer Satisfaction.

BASE 587 being raised in liberal Canada, and
a little soft in the disciplinary department soon
gave in to my line of thinking.

We will, Rap Mr. Hookitt on the Knuckles of his pull hand
With a Heavy Stick, every time we see him Revert back to
Old, Bad, Skydive Canopy control flight habits.
It will be a challenge but should do the trick.

thank you....Ray Losli

>Dear... Mr. Johnny Utah
We are sorry to inform you that we cannot accept your application.
We feel that even though you are highly skilled,and well rounded BASE jumper,
and I have learned a couple of usefull BASE skills from you over the years.
It would be impossible for our staff to help you.
Let alone teach you anything.
Your 4000 + Skydives would prove to large of an obstacle for us.
Your Skydive Canopy skills would go against all that we are trying to accomplish.
Once again thank you.

Ok, this just had me rolling. I think it deserves it's own thread.

Dear Bounce Proof:

I would like to apply for your course. I have previously been rejected for the "Harden up, Tiger" BASE course, also taught in the pacific northwest. My application for that course was rejected as it was felt that it would be impossible for me to ever harden up sufficiently. Please take this into consideration in my application for the Bounce Proof BASE course.

I have three or four skydives, but none since July of last year. I'm also a little vague on that packing stuff, and tend to just use my canopies without packing them.

Please consider me for your course. I promise to make you proud.

What is the point of this whole thread and what is going on???

Am I overqualified if I fly into a building and break my ribs? Or is that a good sign that I need to find an instructor? Just wonderin'. . .

D-d0g

Dear Mr. Losli

Unfortunately I've been accepting advice from the Mr. Hookitt above for some time now (unfortunately he had the bad habit of replying to ALL my questions). I now accept that he had no business telling me diddly squat. Even those times he referred me to more experienced riggers he obviously had no idea what he was talking about.

Is it too late for me to be saved?

Please advise.

PS I'm sorry about buying the accuracy rig and actually skydiving with it - my bad.

Myself did not understand until recently that using
Sarcastic, Satire combined with the power of Communication provided by

Dear Mr... Aiello
Living as a BASE social recluse, separatist and never having logged on to any BASE talk forum at that time.
I was not aware that you had been refused acceptance for the Harden up BASE course.
Having seen a couple of student go through his course though. I can see Dwain's point.
I only had a few hundred BASE jumps at the time and was barely staying alive myself with Dwain's Influence.
We did see Eye to Eye on certain ideas, and that was not easy, being that I had to stoop somewhat, in height
to talk to him face to face.
...But Fear Not !!!
That is not what our Bounce Proof F.J.C is about.
Three or Four Skydives is pushing it but is acceptable.
No Skydives in the past year is an impressive claim.
Your canopy skills I have seen in the past make that statement non-refutable.

BASE 587, told me he did not sleep a wink today, before his shift at the Hospital tonight.
The fear of your possible rejection from, Bounce Proof F.J.C... He was almost in tears.
He would certainly kill me if I told you this but, He absolutely worships you as a
BASE, God and never ending wealth of BASE information, also your witty banter on your post's
puts a never ending smile on his face.

This was not an easy job laid before us when your application came in.
You being a high profile BASE Jumper and in a position of Power.
I suggested a Three jump, Student probation period to make sure that we were not
getting over our heads on this one. Spence would hear of no such thing.

Dear BASE# 570 And Primate
I called Spence at work and we have come to a fast decision on this.
Spence was pretty firm on this point and I agree with the Canadian Immigrant on this one.
Your Primate must be able to sign the 16 page Waiver
and you take full responsibility for PCA him on 2 jumps.
The Primate must have solid Body Positioning and Awareness on both exits.
We will clear him for Free Fall.
The Primate having his own Rig was the clincher on the deal because
neither of us have a harness small enough to fit him.

As for Group Rates Spence and I were both were wondering about this one.
Are you saying that you can get more than one Primate.
If you are willing to provide BASE specific Rigs for all of them
We will gladly give you 40% off Discount
We are almost certain that we can make up the profit loss on the discount
Selling the Monkey Big-Way Video.

If these conditions are satisfactory to you.
Your Monkey is in.... Congratulations.

Dear Mr... Quickdraw
To our surprise, Spence and I have that even though the Primates we took on as students
have never made a Skydive and can not land very well. They have learned to Pack
in-between training jumps. You can hire a Monkey-Packer or pack your own Rig.
You will pack your own lunch and keep an eye on it. Those Primates are crafty and
can smell out food no matter how well you hide it.

Bounce Proof FJC, is sorry to announce that there will be no free T-Shirts as rumored.
One of the Primates has flung his crap all over them. Spence is the most upset about
this because he paid for them out of his own pocket.

Dear Mr. Ray Losli,

I'm very interested in BASE jumping. I've been reading BASE websites since I did a tandem skydive this last month. I was going to just go buy an used parachute and a backpack thingy off a website and go jump one of the many builings in my town, but I think that it might be better to go through a class before jumping off one of the 10 story buildings in my area. By taking your class do I get free parachutes or can I just buy one of the rigs and packing primates at the end of my class?

I've read things about contacting locals before you jump something in a new area. Does your class provide a directory of all the locals and their phone numbers in all the areas I might someday travel?

I am disappointed to hear there will be no free shirt, will the class fee be reduced now that this is no longer being offered?

Also can I hire someone to take pictures of me on my first BASE jump like I did my first Skydive?

Ray and Spence Bounce Proof, BASE Course

Dear Mr.... PhreeZone
We at Bounce Proof, FJC & Staff have some - Good News and some Bad News
First though let us review your application you have submitted.
You say that you have only had one Tandem Jump, Hopefully you did not touch the Toggles.
or even open your eyes to learn any Canopy Control. Also you most likely were told to raise your
legs up on landing and the Tandem Master Surfed you in. So nothing learned there.
We will not hold that Skydive against you.
Looking around the Internet for a used Rig and searching around for 10 story buildings to jump
proves to us that You are eager to learn and have possible leadership potential.
>You Do Not Need A Rig- but I will get to that in a moment.
Mr. PhreeZone Nothing is just handed to you hear at Bounce Proof FJC. You Must graduate
Before we just give you local jumpers phone numbers and directions to there best objects.

The Good News is Mr. PhreeZone, even though all -Slots- were filled just before you applied You
are going to get a Free Rig from BASE # 570's Primate. .It will be a little tight fitting and dirty but
he will no longer be needing it. You will also get his Student Slot.

The Bad News is we here at Bounce Proof FJC are so, so very sorry to inform everyone that
Mr. BASE 570's Monkey Smoked it into the Dirt today !!! To... PHaaaaaaaaaaaaT... a Delay.
Yes That's Right. It's Your Lucky Day.
Spence came in from Ground Crew about an hour ago with the bad news. The monkey was wearing
his Camera Helmet. So No Video for YOU. Sorry.

More bad news is that we can not offer you a reduced rate because of soiled T-Shirts.
We have a Huge unforeseen problem. The lack of canopy control from Some of our students
and particularly from one Dead Monkey. Has given us some Medical and Veterinary bills.

Congratulations Mr. PhreeZone you have been accepted to.........

Just make sure that monkey has no skydives!
History has shown that monkeys that skydive develop this annoying habit of climbing up the lines and collapsing the parachute.

You'll have PETA all over your ass like white on rice.
Not just any rice, but the processed, nutritionless white rice that can be cooked in one minute. I can't quite remember the name of the stuff, but you know what I mean, right? Uncle Bens?
-Josh

How do you plan on keeping the monkey from trying to climb back up the lines and spiralling or collapsing his parachute into the lines? What if he starts to throw crap at you from the exit point?

edited to add: Just heard about the monkey... Too bad, but did we really need another primate just hanging around and throwing shit at us anyways?

I might be a bit over qualified given my canopy experience so I will come and BASE with my 105.

Ray and Spence Bounce Proof, BASE Course

Dear...Skypuppy and nicknitro71

While climbing Our local 870 ft. Antenna tonight with my good friend D.J. I had plenty
of time to think about My Dead Primate. No one at Bounce proof FJC, ever really
cared that BASE 570 didn't take responsibility for giving his Monkey any Skydives, to
teach Canopy control. We even encouraged it, because frankly it sounded kind of cool
and we were just tired of caring and didn't give a crap anymore.

We at Bounce Proof FJC. have really been concerned with the Large controversy over
Skydive vs. no Skydive in BASE canopy control, and our new found abandonment for
no canopy control for new BASE students.

While our new Primate student jumper's fatal accident was not due to poor canopy control.
He defiantly did have a few more landing problems than the other students. He suffered from
several ankle injuries, scrapes and bruises,broken tail bone and more from bad landings.
He also tore up a lot of gear (i.e., Torn Pilot Chutes, Ripped Canopies, Etc. )
To tell you the truth we were getting kind of sick of that Monkeys puffed up pompous attitude.
He was constantly throwing in our faces, all the cool and dangerous jumps he was doing.
Over exaggerating the danger and risk of every jump to look cool, and to tell you the truth
he was wearing out his welcome around here anyway.

I and the Bounce Proof staff had a long talk today and we just can not agree on how many
Skydives a new BASE student should have. Some students did OK while others did poorly.
We have decided that there is nothing we can do about it, so screw it.

Even though this Primate was a pain in the Ass. Ray and Spence Bounce Proof BASE Course, put
together a small Memorial for friends and Monkey family.

thank you....Ray and Spence

Yeah but probably he was able to climb that antenna much faster than you can ever do

I have been following with great interest the saga of 'Ray and Spence's bounceproof BASE course,' and how you have been trying to get it off the ground( or is it on to the ground?-whatever!)
I was particularly interested in the case of your monkey student and its appauling behaviour.
Throwing crap all over the t-shirts is just not on! Especially as i was just about to order one( they do come in jade don't they?)
Shame about the monkey going in; my advise to you concerning any future badly behaved primates- is to spank the monkey!
I must be honest and confess that i have researched this technique and it works for me.
Having seen Ray do a few jumps in KL, and having spoken to some people that know him and jump with him, it appears obvious that he is a natural in this field and a fine exponent of the art!
Happy spanking!

Dear...ManBird
Sorry for the slow response to your application. I have not made enough money as planed teaching
students to quit my regular job yet.
I would like to commend you on your choice of Instructors and FJC.

Mr. PhreeZone actually with a bit of Luck did score the -Last Students Slot- in Bounce Proof FJC.
With the lose of our Primate.

-BUT- You have never made a skydive. No canopy skill is a plus.
Also you say, you will not have a desire to make a Skydive after your FJC Because you just make,
( this is to good to be true.)-Impulse Decisions at the drop of a hat, without even thinking of the consequences.
Which show us We will have no problem getting you to Exit off those, Super Low training jumps.
Adding you will Bribe us with dozens of Free T-Shirts.

Mr. ManBird This application has touched our hearts here at Bounce Proof. These fine outstanding
Qualities are a rarity. Because we will most likely never find this caliber of applicant again.

We are adding a special Slot, giving you a Free Scolarship all exspence paid, and Private Instruction.

Kudos. You've made a wise choice. I'll do rather well. The t-shirts are on the way. The proposed logo for your newest venture is attached.

Dear Ray and Spence,
while I do agree that my monkey did have an attitude problem and he didn't much like being told what to do, I will have to say that his untimely demise is because of the lack of supervision you had for your students. You can clearly see in that picture that was taken just a few moments before his last jump that he was not in his right frame of monkey mind. Look into his eyes what do you see? Not the fun loving monkey we all love but rather a lifeless gaze. You may not know what was on his mind but I do. These are his words in a letter to me written the day he died: "Eeeeak eeeak oooh ooh, ooooh eeak eeeeeeeeeaaaakkkk". You should be ashamed and apologetic for your other students behavior. This is truly horrible and no-one should ever be tortured like this. I know monkey jokes are funny but this was taking it too far.
I do apologize for the torn up gear, I think he was just reaching out for help.

I expect to be fully compensated for my loss of course. A fair settlement will be...
1. An apology from the 3 individuals who perpetrated this horrible act that drove him to take the drugs before he jumped and killed himself.
2. A name change for your company to include an asterisk * after the term "Bounce Proof" indicating "except mentally tortured, drug taking monkeys"
3. $50 US (not Canadian) to cover half the cost of the cool monkey skull drinking cup and bone sculpture I'm having made from his remains
4. 2 free slots at an upcoming Ray and Spence Bounce Proof* BASE Course.

If you will agree to these terms we can settle out of court.
Thanks for your time,
BASE 570

* except mentally tortured, drug taking monkeys.

Could you give me a quick run-down of the characteristics of a BASE-specific rig? I feel like jumping.

 
If you will agree to these terms we can settle out of court.
Thanks for your time,

Dear BASE 570

After talking to my lawyer today. He advised me to tell you that the Monetary Judgment you seek is Invalid
We at Bounce proof FJC feel that you deserve no compensation for your claims.

You are not the legal guardian of the primate.
Unless there is some Medical DNA evidence you would like to submit that you are a possible relative.

The primate signed the Waiver of his own free will. Freeing us from all damages sought by you the complaintent.

After an intense interview with the other primates, by our Sign language expert.
Several of the other Primates have put there signiture on a Sworn Affidavit, saying that
the Monkey purchased the drugs and alcohol he consumed from You.

So basically what we here at Bounce Proof are trying to tell you is that
you can go screw yourself.

Dear Ray, Spence &bounceproof BASE course

I would like to suggest you change your focus to training more primates instead of humans. Although you have had a fatality it is more important that we get more monkeys flinging feces at everyone This will increase the number of jumpers we have flinging fecal matter and increase our overall enjoyment.
Thank you for you time

Although I find threads like this a good giggle and keeps the humour on the board I am just slightly confused that myself and a few others have been PM'd in the past by the moderator to stop the humour and one liners getting onto this board and have even had posts deleted to keep in line with this ruling.

So whats the deal here? If your a friend of the moderator you can post just about anything and even the moderator will join in with the banter? Its just us mere mortals that will be policed and will not be able to post one liners or subjects away from the suposed "reason for the board"?

I dont mind if there is humour on this board and I dont mind if there is not. What I do mind in the consistancy in policing this board. Make your mind up - to humour or not to humour - that is the question.

Thoughts?

Yes...
Let good things play themselves out with out bringing attention to it. There's no harm in it.

I like the thread. As rediculous as it may be, It has been entertaining and possibly even useful.

Besides, Look at how many hit's this thread and the other thread have recieved. It's one of the very reasons there's been so much traffic in this forum lately. It's like a soap opera ... Yesterday on Bounce Proof Base, Ray ridiculed hookitt for the amount of skydives under his belt, and soon killed an Ape... stay tuned until the next episode....

Also, I'm proud to (re)announce that I've been accepted as a student of the Bounce Proof BASE shool. Hopefully Because of it, I'll be less likely to go by way of the Primate.

Here's my general reasoning on this:

1) Humor is fine. One line zingers that only your friend gets are better done in PM. Jokes unrelated to BASE belong in Talkback. So if you post "hey, you look sexy in that pink hat..." it ought to be a PM. If you post "so, three guys walk into a bar..." it goes to Talkback.

2) This thread, while couched in humorous terms, is really part of a more serious discussion in the "BASE without Skydives" thread. While Ray may have chosen to make his point in a humorous manner, he is still trying to make a point about BASE without prior skydiving training. That means that this thread fits very well into the underlying nature of this forum (discussions about BASE, generally focussing on people who are starting, or thinking of starting BASE).

In short, I disagree with your basic premise that this thread is not BASE related. Despite it's humorous approach, it is a thread about the idea of BASE jumping without prior skydiving experience. That's clearly BASE related.

Ok that is a fair point, the humour in this particular post has a serious point and is worthwhile, but saying this, it is still common for other threads to have the “witty” one liners from people – but it seems that some people are policed more so than others. To me it does look as if there is some preference over some people. There was a time when I was PM’d several times about this and my posts deleted but other more “well known” people were able to continue their banter. I felt this to be a little inconsistent. I am not having a dig at you as such Tom – you do a great job on the whole – you use a lot of your spare time up on these boards. I just dislike clique mentallity (although probably guilty of it myself at times) and If people feel this way then maybe they wont visit or post to the boards as much as they like to.

Just an observation that’s all…….

Take it easy

M

My apologies if it appears that way. I try to be as fair as possible.

If you see something that sticks out, drop me a PM, and I'll have a look.

Remember that I do have a limited amount of time, so I'm more likely to police people who are prone to repeated one liners, in the hope of cutting the amount dramatically, than to remove the only innapropriate post that someone has ever put up. The flow of communication is the important thing, I think. If the one liners and inside jokes, responding to each other, exceed a full screen, you can almost be sure I'll jump in. Until that point, it will depend on how much time I have on any particular day.

Ray and Spence Bounce proof, BASE Course

I have to admit that putting a person off a fixed object once in a while for there first BASE jump has been fun.
It has NOT been my Life Long Dream to start a BASE School, and to put students off a fixed object
Human or Monkey.
Both I and my Canadian / wana be American, partner in crime don't mind putting a primate off for a BASE jump for the first time with no regard for his life, or limb. That's what little furry monkeys of lesser importance are for.
***They Are Here to Amuse People Who Don't Care About Them.!!!***
Until we just gave up and started Bounce Proof FJC we did have a caring attitude and gave the utmost
in the safety effort of the first time jumper. I and the staff here used to have a conscience.
Having had some BASE experience we mistakenly where given the knowledge that sometimes it is just
F#%+ing hard to stay alive even if you think you know what you are doing.
We just did not feel like arguing over, & over, & over, & over, & over, back and forth with a person or
people who just don't get it. Not everyone can be lucky enough to get away with it.
Personally I don't have the gift to read a first time jumpers mind to judge there abilities and know if
they can BASE jump without any Skydives first.
If you want to do that it's OK with us because we don't care anymore. that was the point of
-Ray and Spence Bounce Proof, BASE Course.-

Also I would like to say that in the 4 or 5 months that I have used this talk forum and Blink I would like to bet that I have been Locked out and censored more than you. -I get no special treatment-.
We are just a little slow around here understanding the rules and using them to our best advantage to
Get Our Point of View Across. we are catching on though.
I have also discovered that I am as Illiterate as the Common Australian BASE jumper.

We here at Bounce would like to thank everyone who has participated and read this thread.
Also we would like to thank you for putting up with my Mastery in the use of Third Grade Humor,
We at Bounce Proof FJC don't approve of Jack Boot Nazi Censorship that is sometimes used
but that is just our opinion

We would like to thank the Owner and moderators of DZcom for letting us borrow the power
of communication that you provide and do not take it lightly

Tom i respect you for the guy you are and your oppinions,but make the rules same for all

Dear Ray,

Is there hope for me? My skydiving habits are so ingrained that the last time I tried to fly a BASE canopy set-up, I thoroughly wrapped it around a tower.

After reviewing your qualifications, I am certain that you are my only hope.

Anxiously awaiting your reply....

Bump. Needs to look at Miles D thread

Is this class still active? How's about me and you work something out ya dig?

I wish I could hit the fast forward button and skip to two weeks from now where you are gone and interested in your newest passion, like dabbing or wearing ball flattening pants or whatever the fuck the kids are doing nowadays.

Skittles Parties man..... fak'n skittles parties.
Or some Flakka?

Thanks Guys!

C-dog,
I have so say, I'm a little disappointed. Hank here has known for quite a while that he was meant to be a BASE jumper, infact, he's about to start his AFF, he'll be flying wingsuits through the crack in no time! Did you not read his earlier post?
You should.
