Default 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!!!

Stay safe out there

Default 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!

>McConkey himself is issuing the numbers.
And how is possible to contact Mr. McConkey?!?!?!? Any e-mail address? Not that any of us is going to complete the McConkey word any soon, but it is just interesting to know... :+ Even if #658 has just done his first McConkey off our favourite B......

> I got number one.
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!
Thanks so much!!!!! :+
