Referring to the horseshoes again, the DK General Lee cloned its larger sibling DK Vegas. The trademark red and white color scheme of the brand's name is not much to talk about. Like the Vega the General Lee will come in a range of colors. There are several options available, including the black and blue ebony-tuxedos, white and burgundy tuxedos and the spruce. The big daddy stands just 32 inches tall and weighs in around 125 lb. Those looking for a more laid back atmosphere may want to consider the smaller but no less dashing 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 can handle bigger dogs because it is large enough. It is great for heavy-duty riding. The biggest problem in the side is the drool-worthy community of BMX riders. The DKGeneral is a great option for the entire family or as a hobbyist. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to own a DK Vega bike, a DK General Lee bike, or any other BMX model. If you're able to think for yourself and have a good partner, you may just end up on the fam.

How To
How can I start 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 land safely, the participant must jump off 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.
A wingsuit-type base jumper, is the most commonly used. A wingsuit is two pieces of fabric joined together. One piece covers the chest, arms, and legs while the second covers the legs. Special boots allow the jumper to stand straight during flight. The jumper pulls on the straps to his/her feet to descend. This causes the material covering the legs and legs to bunch up. This creates a large air pocket underneath the jumper. Once the air pocket has grown large enough, the jumper will open his/her parachut and land safely.
Some base jumpers use powered suits to help propel themselves through the air faster. Powered suits have two main parts: a backpack containing batteries and a jet pack worn under the jumper's clothes. These small rockets fire small jets of hot-gas at high speeds. This creates thrust, which propels the jumper forward. However, these suits can be heavy and loud.
BASE jumping is a sport that many people don't understand. It is important to understand the risks involved in BASE jumping before you attempt to learn. You could fall off a cliff or hit an obstacle upside-down or head-on. Or you could collide with another jumper. Even though BASE jumping is not always dangerous, it can be very dangerous when done incorrectly. These safety tips will help you avoid injury when BASE jumping.
You can start by learning BASE jumping skills on a smaller hill. Always take time to familiarize yourself with the terrain before jumping onto a larger hill. You should also be alert for weather conditions. Try to jump when the wind isn't blowing in your face. 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. Make sure you have all the necessary gear. Make sure you have a helmet, goggles, gloves, and a full suit with a harness. Fourth, have a plan. Before leaving the ground, ask someone to follow you if something goes wrong. Don't ever jump by yourself. Always have someone to watch over you.
