Do you like participating in action sports? Are you a fan of extreme sports in general? Are you A Skier? A Snowboarder? A Skater? A Moto Xer? A Climber? A B.A.S.E. Jumper? Do you think America is the land of the free? WRONG!!!! Imagine if you were a surfer and the best place to surf in the entire country was only open to boogie boarders. INSANE, right? Well thats exactly the kind of discrimination thats going on in our National Parks. Climbers are allowed to climb these awesome cliffs, while B.A.S.E. jumpers are treated like common criminals for jumping off these same objects. The National Parks Service has all kinds of ridiculous reasons for outlawing B.A.S.E. jumping in the parks. UHUCK stands to raise public awareness and take our freedom back!
On September 6th, 2008 we will make a mass protest jump off of El Capitan in Yosemite. Jumpers are usually jailed, fined $2,000.00 or more and their expensive gear is confiscated for making this jump. So by buying a T-SHIRT or DVD you will be providing us with BAIL MONEY and personally helping us promote this righteous cause. From January 1st 2008 until September 6th, we will be touring the country in our UHUCK van gaining support for the cause by throwing BAIL MONEY parties all across the Nation. Please Visit uHuck.com to purchase your DVD and T-shirt.
Here is the law that prohibits us from jumping the same walls and terrain in U.S. National Parks that climbers, hikers, mountain bikers, and hanggliders are all allowed to utilize for their passions. It is unjust and we need your support in our protest.
Aerial Delivery
Illegal Aerial Delivery is a 1965 law originally set in place to prevent the resupplying of squatters in the National Parks via parachute. It has been repeatedly used against backcountry parachutists for decades.
CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS, TITLE 36 - PARKS, FORESTS, AND PUBLIC PROPERTY, CHAPTER 1 - NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, PART 2--RESOURCE PROTECTION, PUBLIC USE AND RECREATION
36 CFR 2.17 - Aircraft And Air Delivery

1. Operating or using aircraft on lands or water [...]
2. Where a water surface is designated pursuant to paragraph (a.1) of this section, operating or using aircraft under power on the water within 500 feet [...]

2006 NPS Management Policies
8.2.2.7 Parachuting
Parachuting (or BASE jumping), whether from an aircraft, structure, or natural feature, is generally prohibited by 36 CFR 2.17(a)(3). However, if determined through a park planning process to be an appropriate activity, it may be allowed pursuant to the terms and conditions of a permit.
PERMITS HAVE BEEN APPLIED FOR AND THEY ARE EITHER DENIED OUTRIGHT OR NEVER GET ADDRESSED AND RESPONDED TO!!!
...and here is the old policy for reference:
2001 NPS Management Policies
8.2.2.7 BASE Jumping
BASE (Buildings, Antennae, Spans, Earth forms) jumping? also known as fixed object jumping? involves an individual wearing a parachute jumping from buildings, antennae, spans (bridges), and earth forms (cliffs). This is not an appropriate public use activity within national park areas, and is prohibited by 36 CFR 2. 17( 3)..
Who I'd like to meet: Everyone who embraces true freedom and passion for the outdoors, action sports athletes, supporters of our cause, and those who think that laws that are unjust should be challenged and removed from legislations.

Guess what God wanted me to tell you Happy New year. 2008 started on 6/7/2008 for you. HE said think about Joshua and what I told him. I told Him if he wanted Jericho, then he needs to walk around it 6 times and on the 7th, sound of your horns and everything must come down. Think about this for a moment? We are in the 6th month and Saturday was the 7th day and guess what----everything that you have been battling has already fell down. The struggle is over and I came today to declare it over your life today. Just begin to give God the praise for everything even right now.
Yes, lets pray, touch, and come in agreement that several mountains will be moved.....Today.....!!!!!!!
