To return to the horseshoes: the DK General Lee is a cloned of its bigger sibling, DK Vega. The name brand's signature red and white paint scheme isn't much to write home about. The General Lee will also be available in a variety colors, just like the Vega. Amongst the more notable variants are the black and ebony tuxedo, the white, the burgundy, and the spruce, amongst others. The tall, muscular daddy measures in at just 32 inches and weighs in a slim 125 lb. For those looking for a more casual atmosphere, you might want to look at the smaller but still striking General Lee-x-chrome. The General Lee's eminently functional front and rear brakes make it a breeze to lock in and out. The General is the ideal size for larger dogs. This bike is ideal for heavy-duty riding. The biggest problem is the drool-worthy BMX community. The DKGeneral is a great option for the entire family or as a hobbyist. No matter if you're looking for a new DK Vega, a new DK General Lee, and anything in between, it won't cost you a fortune to get your BMX fix. It doesn't matter if your partner is willing and you have the brains to do it, you might end up riding with the whole family.

How To
How do I get started with Base Jumping?
Base jumping (also called free-fall Parachuting) allows participants to jump from fixed objects (usually cliffs), including bridges, towers and buildings, with no equipment attached. To safely land, the participant jumps from the object. This is similar to skydiving except that you don't need to use a parachute and you don't have to wait for it to open.
The most common type is a wingsuit jumping suit. A wingsuit is two pieces of fabric joined together. The chest, arms and legs are covered by one piece and the legs by the other. Special boots allow the jumper to stand straight during flight. Jumpers pull the straps that attach to their feet tightly during descent. The material covering the legs will bunch up and create a large pocket under the body. This air pocket will grow large enough to allow the jumper to open his/her parachute, and safely land.
Base jumpers can use powered suits in order to accelerate their speed through the air. Two main components of powered suits are a backpack with batteries and a pack that can be worn underneath the jumper's clothing. These small rockets can fire hot gas at high speed from the packs. This creates thrust which propels the jumper forward. These suits can be quite loud and heavy.
BASE jumping can be a dangerous sport. Make sure you fully understand the risks associated with learning BASE jumping. There are many ways that you can die from this activity, including falling off a rock, colliding with another person, or hitting an obstacle head on or upside down. Although BASE jumping isn't always dangerous, it can prove very dangerous if done incorrectly. Be sure to follow the safety tips below before you attempt to BASE Jump.
Start by practicing safe BASE jumping techniques at a lower hill. Be sure to spend a few minutes getting used to the terrain before you jump from a higher one. Also, be aware of weather conditions. If the wind isn’t blowing, don’t jump. Foggy skies are another danger. If you can see more then 10ft ahead of you, you may need to wait for the clouds to clear. The third thing you should do is make sure that you have all the gear. You should have a helmet, goggles and gloves as well as a complete suit including a harness. Fourth, make sure you have a plan. For any problems, have someone else follow you. Don't ever jump by yourself. Always have someone else watching over you.
