Re: [base570] Dwaine Weston.
Having seen some of the amazing footage from a few of his jumps, I had to say I was in awe of what he could do.
A note to the others, journo's are also perusing these threads:

His death left devotees of the sport shaken and BASE jumpers worldwide posted tributes on the Dropzone.com website.
A jumper from Portland, Oregon, using the name Narcimund, described Weston's death as "absolutely unbelievable". "Over 1200 base jumps with never a broken bone or other injury," he wrote. Matthew Nekvapil, of Kuala Lumpur, said: "Wow. I've read so much about this guy . . . Only 30, so young."
