I am starting a list of Gainer BASE numbers. To qualify you must have done a reverse flip otherwise now as a gainer off all 4 objects. This is on the honor system so just send me an e-mail with the date of your qualifying jump's and object's they were made off then I will send you a number. I am going to give people time to respond to this post and take time to assemble them in order so the response and number will not be immediate.
have a go way low day

Dwain Weston gets number one if he wants it then. Everyone who has seen "Beyond Extreme", or has jumped with him knows this to be true.
Cheers,
Thomas
Thanks Joe, something worthwhile to work towards.

Ah! Once again Joe ups the stakes and gives us all the initiative to do something that could get us hurt just a little quicker!
Would we expect any less?

Joe, how about changing this to Aerial BASE numbers? A reverse somersault (gainer) is just one of many possible aerial maneuvers (and is the easiest aerial to perform and stabilize/deploy out of). Other more challenging exits (i.e. by challenging I mean their successful/safe implementation requires more training and preparation externally to the BASE environment) include back, front and inward rotations for a very basic start.
If you've done gainers from a building, antennae and cliff but have only done say a quad front with a half twist from a bridge then shouldn't you qualify for a number as well?
The gainer is to aerial BASE jumping what say a 360 degree turn is to relative work in skydiving; a fundamental component and a good starting point, but in no way representative of the depth and breadth of the discipline.
BSBD,
Dwain
I hereby nominate Dwain as Quad Front Half Twist BASE #1!
Hey Tom, don't forget Andre the dog:
Bridge Gainer Dog #1
And at only 2 months old, possibly the youngest jumper to ever perform a gainer on a BASE jump...
As the world's leading expert on Canine BASE, Dwain will now begin awarding numbers to qualifying household pets.
The rules:
1) Canines only. Dogs, Coyotes, Wolves, and even Dingos qualify. However, no felines will be considered. Note however, that felines may apply for a separate "rigless" BASE number.
2) Tandem jumps are only allowed for canines under one year of age. So, for example, Andre's qualifying bridge gainer is allowed. However, another early pioneer of canine BASE was required to make solo jumps.
3) Video documentation may be required. If necessary, such documentation must be of sufficient quality to be admissible in court.
4) In honor of a much loved, late pioneer of the sport, canine BASE numbers may also be referred to as Rocket numbers.
Yeah, when will we have BASE #'s for the triple Lindy,back flipping,gainer,auto-rotating, with a half twist, one eye closed (must alternate for qualifying jumps), naked with an erect penis(THO's would qualify for females), done on Tuesdays in February (leap years excluded) in Rhode Island. Let me know so I can start training. Have a BloWayLo day.
So is Yuri Wingsuit BASE #1?
just studying again,
Thomas
615's started jumping in a ski mask...im a bit worried that he may be rapist BASE# 1.....anyone else out there to put my mind at rest?
Let's not forget ACiD BASE #s... ;-)
bsbd!
Yuri.
how about alkali based BASE
Hey mate, I honestly thought you were a consenting adult. In any case you were asking for it wearing those mini-skirts!
Craig
I may never make acid BASE, but can I apply for an acid driver's license number?
