Hello all! Migrated from a certain Fungal Forum that I've been a part of for Almost 10 years. This place is... SO AMAZING!! I hope to be a part of this great community. Where to start... Well, I jump out of airplanes and radio towers for a living. I'm an A.F.F. instructor at my local Drop Zone, I volunteer most of my free time in the Greenhouse of our local University, and I've been studying herpetology for about 6 years. I was inspired to join the Nexus to share my experiences with the Spice, as well as to learn and contribute to this awesome place. My Most recent trip into Hyperspace involved millions of snakes lining everything i could see. seemed like a never ending flow of scales and patterns. Lots of fangs spiraling down.  Very Humbling. This seems like a great place filled with great people! I feel blessed to have made my way here  Peace and Love , Kinderfeld

Welcome! I like you already! My goal in life is a 30k foot jump - but I've got many years to go. Still working on certification.  You've found a great place with some great people. Feel free to ask questions if any come up. The wiki is an invaluable resource. Hope to see you around! -a1pha "Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored." -A.Huxley

HALO/HAHO jumps are pretty intense! it gets cold up there. I do HALO at 32k. B.A.S.E. jumps average out at 1100ft and they rock my world every time! I'm the FreeFlyer on our Demo team. There is no other feeling quite like Plummeting back to Earth Like a home sick bowling ball  Especially on HALO's, 30,000 foot free fall!!!!

thanks brudda, i live in the portland oregon area and we have no shortage of amazing objects. last time i counted we have about 25+ jumps within a 45 min drive!!!! the tallest A we have is only about 900ft but we have low stuff for days including 3 waterfalls. i actually just got home from scouting out a few more cliffs in the gorge here via helicopter. my good friend is a flight instructor so we took out one of the R-22's and found 2 new 300ft walls. water landings but thats ok with me. ok sorry everyone i know this isnt a base jumping forum. ill stop now but its not everyday another jumper makes an intro on the nexus!!!!

Mostly radio Towers and windmills (when they're off) out here. Its only rained twice out here all year, so that water landing sounds like a real treat !
Is it OK to discuss B.A.S.E. ?? if not .. then that will be the end of it .

i love windmills!!! probably one of the coolest objects ive jumped. sure its fine to discuss base and hobbies but we should move it into the open discussion sub forum or just pm eachother. feel free to start a new thread about hobbies and passions in the welcome area, i bet lots of people would enjoy discussing their off work actvities as well.

me like this idea. Ice House is an alter ego. The threads, postings, replys, statements, stories, and private messages made by Ice House are 100% unadulterated Bull Shit. Every aspect of the Username Ice House is pure fiction. Any likeness to SWIM or any real person is purely coincidental. The creator of Ice House does not condone or participate in any illicit activity what so ever. The makebelieve character known as Ice House is owned and operated by SWIM and should not be used without SWIM's expressed written consent.
