Early days BASE

[cj]

Hi,

I’ve been invited to do a lecture on BASE for an outdoor risk-management course at a university in New Zealand. A part of the lecture will be the evolution of the activity, and history. I’m after a couple of things that I hope someone will be able to help me with.

Are there anyone out there with stories from the early days of jumping who would like to share them? These things always liven up things, and it would be excellent to hear from someone who were part of it.

Further I wonder if anyone know of a few pictures I could use for my PowerPoint presentation. I have a lot of pictures myself, but it would be great to have something to show from when it was all very new… I will only use the photos for this one presentation.

The lecture is next Thursday, so there’s a hint of urgency to my request ;-)

Thanks!

Christian
