Here we go again....A few really tasty excerpts from the IPBC "press release".

"BASE jumping is the sport of jumping from fixed objects using a parachute and is one of the newest and hottest extreme sports to hit the X scene in the last eight years"

NEW? New TO WHO? LAST EIGHT YEARS? I GUESS BASE DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE THESE GUYS JUMPED OFF SOMTHING

"Competitors use skill and guts to outwit and out match each other as they earn points for producing flawless openings of their parachutes"
I GUESS WHUFFOS CAN BE MADE TO BELIEVE THAT OFF HEADING OPENINGS ARE NOT AT LEAST SOMEWHAT RANDOM EVENTS. PUT THOSE GUTS TO WORK, IT WILL OPEN STRAIGHT!

"and then try to hit a 10cm target. Competitors have gotten so good at this that winning comes down to centimeters." 100's OF CENTIMETERS

"The IPBC just finished organizing jumpers in two different events in Asia". NICE PLAY ON WORDS, BUT WE ALL KNOW WHO REALLY "ORAGNIZED" THESE EVENTS


"An IPBC organizer choreographed 15 jumpers for a simultaneous jump during the New Year's celebration from the Petronas towers" TECHNICALLY ACCURATE, BUT AN AMAZING GRAB AT SOMEONE ELSE'S GLORY

"Thailand has also shown interest and the IPBC expects to organize jumpers from one of the many tall buildings in Bangkok by years end." I WONDER WHO IS PUTTING THIS TOGETHER? BE CAREFUL WHO YOU INVITE, THEY WILL SAY THEY ORGANISED IT.

"A few sponsorship opportunities remain to those interested" SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE US MORE MONEY TO PLAY AND HAVE FUN, THIS STUFF CAN GET EXPENSIVE.

How good life must be in that reality!
