McConkey BASE numbers
McConkey BASE numbers: do they exist?
Is there anybody that log data about (the four) objects jumped with a McConkey jump? Is this chap McConkey itself? Is this gentleman/lady Rick/Joy? Nobody keeps track of B.A.S.E. jumps made with a McConkey? I know that regular BASE numbers and night BASE numbers are managed by Rick/Joy and naked BASE numbers are managed by Vertigo, that's why I was wondering who is in "charge" of managing McConkey numbers... I am just curios because last saturday I did my first McConkey jump off one of our popular S, quite a scary experience: 1) because it was my first McConkey and it was so strange to have/see all that fabric hanging down there; 2) because I ALWAYS jump flat and stable and I had to break the (good) habit of jumping off flat and stable, jumping sort of head down; 3) because it was night and I could just check the canopy with the small light I have on my helmet, but the landing was in total darkness }( Anyway, I pulled it off smartly and landed on tip toes!!!

RE: McConkey BASE numbers
McConkey himself is issuing the numbers. I know of three people who have completed the word. I got number one. BASE 587, the tardmaster, got number two. I'm not sure if the third person contacted him for a number or not.
The card he sends out is quite true to form, though. edit: Congrats on your first McConkey! --Tom Aiello tbaiello@mac.com |

I knew that, my friend ;) >The card he sends out is quite true to form, though. What do you mean? I don't get it... >Congrats on your first McConkey!
