For you MFF guys
 

news flash, Jeb Corliss (guy in the video) is currently in a south African hospital after base jumping table mountain and clipping a ridge with his legs. The incident has caused a huge falling out between the local base jumpers and their gov't at working towards allowing BASE jumping in the country, years of work destroyed by his one selfish act. A lot of people are not happy with Jeb for this as well as other day blazing of objects and general disregard for people's backyards. To the uninitiated, his antics look cool, but the truth is there are lots of people doing the same thing everyday, they just don't make a media day of it and plaster it everywhere. In other words, they have a quiet professional approach to what they do, where as Jeb is your typical spotlight ranger, the epitome of a self licking ice cream cone and general all around douche bag.

Correct PZ3,,

But the video is still awesome..

It is !! :cool:

It would be cool to spend several months climbing those walls..

Anybody here have a GoPro ?

Never heard of Jeb, just liked the vid.

I've got one, and have 20-30 Jumps with it, plus a few Bonneville Rides. They are GREAT!! Without the extended/X-tra Battery Pack, you can record close to 8 hrs of Hi-Def Video and Audio, with recharging about every couple of hours or so, but with the Batt-Pack.....it's an all-day machine!!

It really is HIGH QUALITY Hi-Def!!

Good video quality, but looks pretty goofy seeing the GoPro on foreheads while on patrol. For streamlined, practical employment for what we do, Contour HD is my camera of choice. We made a pretty sweet team video with a compilation of all our Contour HDs of our last deployment.

This is my favorite Jeb vid I've seen.

Thats the most RAD crap I have ever seen!

The Batt-Pack is next on my list Thanks!

The GF got one of these this Christmas for me to use while climbing, paddling and such. However, being technologically challenged :D, could you, or do you recommend a specific program for editing, dubbing in music and splicing in photos ?

I have played around with the windows movie maker but for some reason it seems to be losing quality when it's uploaded and edited :confused:

Supposedly the Apple iMac already has a decent program installed to do whatever needs to be done with editing and such, but I'm not in the market for a new computer just yet... :D

ETA

Holy shiite :-)

After doing that sort of thing what's left to do ? climbing would seem so mundane...

I think GoPro financed a portion of the film. If you go to their site they have a bunch of videos of snow sports with similar quality and bravado.

Here is their you-tube site with a sample film. There is a bit of this included, watch at 45 sec..

A friend, that does underwater video professionally, has one and speaks very highly of the simplicity and quality, for the price and size.

:lifter

Sorry for the Hi-Jack.. :p

Permit not applied for
 

All he had to do was apply for a permit from the Parks Board, much as one had to do to jump from El Capitan in Yosemite in the day. He didnt bother, so much work of building trust between the Parks people and base jumpers was set back.
He was very lucky as his brush with the mountain sent him tumbling and ruined any lift his suit was generating. He managed to dump his pilot chute before really meeting the mountain and got away with broken legs.

When I was in they had no MFF program but I swear to GOD I'd have given it a shot, it's so damn cool.............:cool:

When did they start MFF formal training?.........:confused: Also where can I find the requirements that you had to have to get accepted for the training program........:D
