    Smile El Gigante - Copper Canyon

    I've committed to go on Jay's trip to El Gigante this spring (http://basehound.tripod.com/id3.html) and I'm freakin excited!

    I'd like to hear from some others who have gone already.


    Thanks,

    I would take it seriously; but it's serious and ridiculous at the same time. -sl

    This trip is most excellent. The location is only the start. The organization is fabtabulous. That's rite, so good I had to make up a word...

    If you can pull it off, you should check it out. But I have to warn off yahoos that just want to jump a lot. It's more for the soul-flyers among us in search of that one great object to burn into their life line.

    Also very technical, so don't lie about your experience. The life you save will be your own.


    My warnings about Abbie are a different story... Actual quote, "Ummmm I'm ... 90% sure this is the exit point..."

    See ya

    Wingsuits 1st, as always.
    But to get back on subject...

    Top 10 reasons to go on this trip.

    #10 Watching Moe play with human skulls
    #9 The pilot looks like TC from Magnum PI (and has a 10,000 hr cert from Bell Helicopters)
    #8 Mexican military is easily bribed w/ Go Fast (thanks Troy).
    #7 The guacamole
    #6 Tree landings at the ranch
    #5 The abondoned drug-lords' house
    #4 The phunny smell coming from Jay's room
    #3 Copper Cayon Rocks! The scenery can't be beat...
    #2 Duh, the helicopter! (easy altitude)
    And the number 1 reason to go on Jay's most excellent Copper Cayon Heli-boogie...
    Avery probably won't be there to play with road kill (that was disturbing, mate...)

    See ya
    -Bill
