Cool = Invisible: Not!!!

1. Are you an experienced Nor Cal local?
2. Have you been on the cover of Skydiving?
3. Did you climb a large A saterday morning?
4. Did you wait for 30 minutes on top of the object for the sun to RISE?
5. Was the sun shining on you when you exited?

If you answered yes to all these questions then this message is for you:
Avove all, you should know better!!!
Your conscious and deliberate actions have put this site in jeoperdy! In the very nearby town there were 3 poeple on the sidewalks and another 4 people outside the gas station while your daylight jump was in plain sight, not to mention people in cars!
The layouts looked good, I sure hope the video was worth it!!!
please save your daytime jumps for legal sites.
PS - even the first group (with the broken mannequin aeriel) should have exited 20 minutes earlier!

But in order to get sponsored, I have to wait for the sun to rise, so I can get good video, so I can burn all the nor-cal sites, but I will be famous.

Go Red Bull!

How many layouts?

[guest]

You know, when I realised these guys were actually waiting for the sun, I was just totally bummed. Bummed that these experienced, respected jumpers, who I hope to jump with, really didn't care about a site that is coveted by all locals.
I feel like someone smashed my rose colored glasses. I had always sort of hoped/thought that there is a common thread among real basers, respect for the sites and respect for the sport. This is like having Babe Ruth knock the ball out of your hand instead of sign it. I'll have you know, I have not been able to achieve full arrousal since this black day.

Names and stuff don't need to be, and won't be used. I just wanted you to get some perspective, hell, maybe we can talk in person, I'll check out the video. Actually, I would rather see a vid of the first guy, now that was something to see!! &-) &-)

[guest]

Two layouts.
Almost seems like a waste of a daylight jump from a large A. Especially when some guys are pulling 3 or 4 layouts with about 1/4 of the altitude from the Perrine where it is legal!

[guest]

Uh, dude, it was actually 3 layouts, and they were pretty slow n' sweet. I know because I could see them clearly. Wow, you can see them jumpers from a long way away when the sun is UP...:'(

But let's talk about the first guys double.... Does he want to sell his gear?:-)

[guest]

these guys are total dicks if true, especially after all the "don't burn objects" BS everyone hears from them.

[guest]

Don't worry, the great karma god Tore-Kwee-Naan-Doe will smite them from the face of the earth, i am sure.

I'm just glad nobody's falsely accusing me this time :)

Jeez, hopefully the site won't be burned by the time I get my new rig... any day now...

[guest]

George I hope that you can learn not to burn things:)

[guest]

is this the first time? NO!!
will it be the last? NO!!!

maybe you can give me a copy of the key!
if only i was as fast a climber as you were a rider!

[guest]

I have to jump during daylight hours so I can make my movie and sell to all you other wannabes and make millions and get sponsored!

[guest]

I have been going through your parents mail. I know what you are up to.

[Friend]

I know you guys!! Is this what I expected from you, NO. What kind of response is this, do you really plan on continuing with this daylight crap until wonderful sites that are shared by all nor cal jumpers are truly burned? I hope people reading this realise that this is no joke, you really don't care at all, and that is as low as a base jumper can ever go. All for you and fu(k the other guys.
It's really not that hard to play by the rules a bit. You still get the same jump, still the same rush, just in a much less high profile, people calling the cops sort of way.
I know you like being "the man", but there are MANY very experienced, low profile jumpers out there who go about their buisness without the ME,ME,ME attitude. I will definately think twice about ever jumping with you again, and I hope others do the same. This is the worst part of this sport, selfish ego boys who forget the real jumpers who came before. Jumpers who opened many of the sites you chose to sh1t on.

The next time a thread starts about sponsorship, everyone should remember, this is what you get.

ps- I am going to start my letter now, stating my disspleasure, addressed to my local energy drink company. OK, so Austria is not local, but I'm sure they can read english.
