Base Page #2

---

a jump off a rock one day.

No, no, no, there's no way.

I got a friend who is

a good friend of the pilot

and he agreed to take us today.

We're gonna get

to get closer to Christ.

Hey, dude.

Good to see you, man.

- Long time, man.

- It's been a long time, yeah.

I'll arrange with the pilot

so that we can get in quick,

get the right jump run,

get the right line of flight.

You know, we can exit,

time it right,

rip past the Christ

and blast off over the city.

And let the games begin.

I go.

Wait, bro, wait.

We're too low.

Wait!

Chico!

Ice.

Ash hates me

jumping in this sh*t.

Yeah, well,

who wears the trousers?

She does.

She's not super happy

with me jumping, you know?

She loves skydiving

but she doesn't understand

why I keep base jumping

and putting my life

in such a risk.

She doesn't even know

that you are here.

I didn't tell her. She would've

freaked out just knowing that.

She knows there will be trouble.

Yeah, these guys are gonna be

doing something, you know.

We actually made it.

Yeah, you can see there's

one more rope, I think,

- to go down.

- F***, it's low, huh?

- Yeah.

- Not high.

No.

Here we go.

I don't know, dude.

No, bro, it's er... It's good.

That looks f***ing sketchy.

It's good, bro.

It looks slippy.

Hombre, cojones!

Where are your balls, bro?

Maybe we shouldn't

jump today, huh?

Like, bro, I'm not walking back,

huh?

OK.

I guess so.

- Love you.

- Love you, bro.

All right, I'm out.

Whoa!

F*** dude!

Holy f***!

Oh, no, no, no, no!

No!

Come on.

Come on!

Chico!

No. No, man.

Don't move.

I'm gonna call...

I'm gonna call for help, man.

My phone.

So, your mother is a whore,

from what I understand.

No, no, no,

your mother is a lady, no?

No.

Your mother is a lady.

I don't know if this sh*t,

it will kill me.

I don't know if I should

stop doing this sh*t,

stay with my girlfriend,

do a normal life

or less than your life.

Allo?

Allo?

Allo?!

JC? It's Ash.

Where are you?

Where the f*** are you?

F***er.

This is how it works, right?

You're friends,

and when he dies,

you don't even f***ing show up.

He died!

He died alone and you don't

even come to say goodbye?

You're such a piece of sh...

F***, f***...

F***.

I need to get out.

"Jump together."

"ToTheMax..."

To the max of what?

All these wannabes.

"I've done a few jumps."

How many is a few, Max?

So, JC,

here I am on the bridge.

Been doing the training,

jumping a bit,

so I hope we can jump together

someday soon.

This jump is for you, eh?

Hey, hey!

That's it, buddy.

You know, I've been jumping

quite a lot now.

That's good.

You've got some base jumps?

- That's your equipment.

- Yeah.

- C'est toi, no?

- What?

- C'est tous toi?

- The equipment?

- The parachute.

- Yeah, I just borrow it.

The guy told me

it's gonna be fine.

The guy told you

it's gonna be fine.

Yeah, the guy is, you know,

he's quite experienced.

You trust your life on what

somebody else tells you?

Yeah, but I packed it by myself,

I told you.

You know, I'm not, not one your

deuce, YouTube, YouTube guys.

I'm been jumping

quite a lot now.

I'm ready for this, I told you.

Good.

Look, look at the donkey, bro.

- Your brothers, man.

- They're not my brother.

- Our brothers.

- Come on.

- Cos we're pretty stupid, huh?

- No, we're not.

I told you, just in training

for this till ready. Good.

Did somebody

teach you to pack?

Yeah.

But you've been packing and

the parachute has been opening.

- Yeah.

- So you should be fine.

- JC?

- Yeah?

- We're gonna have some fun?

- F*** yeah!

It's gonna be good.

Now you put that on.

Oh!

- Careful, huh?

- We jump from there?

- Jumping from there is good.

- I think so.

JC and Max. Here.

- Max is gonna charge.

- Yeah, sure.

- It's gonna be fine.

- Careful, bro.

Yeah, it's good, it's good,

totally good, good, all good.

I'm good.

Out, in!

Yeah!

Trois, deux, un!

Are you going

for an early bath, Max?

Two people die

every second in this world.

Hundred a minute.

Four thousand in the time it

takes me to pack my parachute.

Death is everywhere.

It was just amazing,

and the sound of it,

it's like...

You know, like a jet fighter.

- Do you wanna do it?

- Yeah, sure...

You wanna do it yourself?

I'm gonna fly fast, head

down to the ground,

following you,

having some f***ing, like,

really, really pure moments.

It's gonna be just pure.

No? What do you think?

Yeah, yeah, I think it's good.

It's pure flying yeah?

Follow me, buddy.

I'll show you the way.

It's like being an eagle.

- Oh.

- Oh.

- Oh.

- That landed good though, huh?

Nice one.

And you want it, right?

You want it.

- Yeah, yeah.

- You want it. Do you want it?

Do you want it?

- Max, do you want it?

- Just maybe...

Do you want it, Max?

Wait a minute,

maybe it's better idea for...

Just fly straight first,

and then, you know, we go up.

You wanted to do

the proximity line.

I put you on the rock,

I flew next to you,

I showed you how to do

the proximity line.

Maybe I just do one jump there

and then we go back.

Now you wanna fly straight,

you do whatever you want to.

I'm not forcing you

to do anything.

You understand?

Yeah, sure.

So how you feeling?

Are you ready?

Yeah, yeah,

we're gonna do that, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, buddy.

You been waiting

for this a long time, no?

Yeah.

You wanted to go and do

a super-spicy jump?

A "ToTheMax" jump.

After you're exiting, you start

making a right-hand turn,

put down the right shoulder.

Yeah, you will be

just there, right.

Pick up speed.

Keep on picking up speed.

Keep on picking up speed.

The whole way.

Then visualize,

visualize the terrain,

visualize you're gonna

dive down to it.

OK. Then?

Yeah, then...

Come on, buddy.

Watch where you

put your foot.

I'm feeling bad now, OK.

What are you feeling bad about?

Huh?

You saw me jump,

you saw the proximity.

You've jumped out of a plane,

you're good to go.

- Yeah, I'm just...

- You can do this.

Do you want this

more than anything?

- No, that's fine.

- Then you're good.

Then you can do it. You want it.

My throat is just like...

OK, let me breathe.

Oh, f***.

Easy.

- Go. Relax.

- Yeah, yeah.

Look at me. Relax, bro, relax.

- Hang on.

- Just one minute then we...

- Then we good to go, huh?

- Keep it cool.

One minute, good to go.

OK, we go. Good to go.

On va voler?

Huh?

No, it's not... No.

- What no?

- I just don't do it.

- Hey.

- No, I just don't do it.

What do you mean,

you don't going?

Just no... Just, like...

What's up?

What happened?

I don't know.

I don't feel it, that's it.

So just leave me alone now,

just go.

You really don't wanna go?

You don't want it?

Look at me. You don't want it?

- It's fine, OK.

- You know you can do this.

Yeah, sure.

It's fine. Just... OK.

Feeling good now.

It's fine, it's fine.

You're right behind me, buddy.

Three, two, one.

Where the f*** is he?

No parachute, come on.

Show me your parachute, bro.
