Could you use train tracks?

The base jump near the dam is on a big power line tower that leans off the edge. Its on the eastern side of the river just south of the dam wall. I like it as you can jump motorbikes off it too :)

Another really tall place to go and you dont need parachute is just a bit south of the north west point of SA, you will see that big mountain its about as high as the top pillar of garver bridge. its hard to jump from and land in the water but its a good fall, and a squallo isnt far away :).

I tried that but it didnt work! you need to give me a more detailed explination, it sounds fun but i cant do it!! :(

An easier way I do it is I take a plane, and land in the deepest part of the water. If you hit the water too fast you'll explode, but once you get in the water the plane will sink. But you'll need to cheat to make it to the bottom.

When I have a friend over we usually go on roadtrips. Our main Destination is
Mt Chiliad. We've spend hours driving up that mountian and exploring it. We also fly off the ramp on top. One time I decided to put nitrus in the rancher we had and flew off the mountian. The Vechile gap right out to the road at the bottom. Imagine if you put nitrus in a sports car like the tursimo, or bullet, or what every the fastest car is.

Another thing I like to do is, on the bridge that goes from the second island to the third ( I forget the name of it but its not the Gant Bridge) I drive a motorcycle up the rope/wire on the side. It's not too hard but it's really easy to drive off the side. Sometimes I get enough speed to gap over the little platform at the top and land on the rope going down.

The rail bridge out of SF? I don't think it's very high up. It'd be more like a high dive then a base jump.

I didn't know you could jump off the power lines there, I'll have to check that out. I was talking about a different one though. Above where the Skimmer spawns just north of the dam there's a big mesa with a big protrusion sticking out over the water. You can find a parachute in an old shack on the same mesa a little to the north.
 
What i do when im bored is get a tall car, then park it next to the tram tracks and just as the tram goes past jump onto it, it takes a few tries but the trams come fairly regulary. then once you are on top start shooting everything. It is hard to stay on though. But the tram plows through everything even a SWAT van.
 
Another thing i do is see how fast i can get the train to go. Ive gotten it to 60mph before i derailed it. lots of fun.

I also pile up the cars on the traintracks waiting for the train to come and smash them.

Running over cars on the highway with the dump truck is also fun. As is hoping in a heavy vehicle like the securiecar or firetruck and smashing cars. securie car is very good at this.
 
I did that once. It didn't work too well, cops spawned in faster then I could shoot them.
If you park right on the tracks, the streetcar will push the car along and you don't have to jump on quite as fast.
 
you guys are creative i just go on sprees; killing ballas, crashing cars, eating till CJ vomits, shopping, HOOKERS!

one of my past times is killing hookers i find them "use them" then kill them and get my money back lol
or i half park my car in the pay and spray in idlewood and then shoot everything insight cops people cars ballas then when the stars bug me i jump in my car and drive it all the way in, revers back out and start again.

In Ganton i go out thru the ally way steal a bunch of cars and line them up in "the hood" pop the tyers and then shot them till they catch fire (good way to get hit man level on your guns) wait till the fire engines come steal that make that catch on fire then wait for the cops kill as many of them as i can mainly for the pistol bullets and then when i'm almost dead run inside and save!

as you can see i get bored but this only happens when i'm up to a mission i cant do and jimmy wont do it for me!!!
MIND YOU i did gray imports and reuniting the families ALL BY MYSELF (only because he wouldn't)
 
Ummmm.

What i like to do is get on the motorway and start a pileup. Wait till it gets big and then shoot my gun and watch them go!!. Try and stay ahead of the drivers and it looks like a wave of cars.

OMG!!! it works! i tried swimming down there but it didnt work :grumpy:
 
Also when i'm bored I just try stunts with different vehicles. I like doing frontflips on quads. And not the flips where your on the ground and do a stoppie and keep tipping over and roll around back on your wheels (which is still fun).

And at the export docks, I play around with the crane. Swing cars around. But I attach the magnet to the car and give it alot of slack. I exit the crane without detaching the magnet and get in the car. It's wicket cause you drive forward and then lift up into the air and swing back. I try doing tricks like 360's and stuff.
 
Usually, I'll just pick three OGs, hopefully ones packing some Desert Eagles or SMGs, then I'll go start trouble with the cops. I like to see them shooting out the windows or over the roof of the car.

If I'm really bored though I'll hang around Willowfield or any other area where those mechanics in the gray jumpsuits show up. They say some pretty funny lines whenever they have to start talking to another pedestrian:

Ped: "Hey man!"
Mechanic: "Oh God, what now?"
Ped: "Do you ever... do it yourself?"
Mechanic: "No, and is it any wonder?"
Ped: "Alright, seeya!"
Mechanic: "Go stick your head down a drain."
 
On the Las Venturas freeway system, I like to try & cause huge traffic pile-ups. Then if one vehicle explodes, an awsome chain reaction of vehicles blowing up happens. :p It also adds to your road vehicles destroyed stats. :sly:
 
Try taking a small plane UNDER all the roadbridges on the LV motorway - extra points for going against traffic.

Skydive from a great height and land on a moving vehicle.
 
I like helping out the police :D, get a police car, find a chase, and follow after the guy who is being chased and shoot at him :lol:. I also like making up my own storyline, and having weird obsessions, like when i go house hunting, i would have to take a stratus with me. I was about to start on a new storyline the otherday, where i have to act out normal life, like going to the grocery store ect.
 
I like to fly the hydra under bridges, the one just north of the SF airport, its a freeway bridge and its really low (you fly over it in the Military Service mission) thats close to the water and its hard to get the hydra under that.
 
Coming up with things to say as you freefall to your death after realising you dont have a parachute.

Those five seconds need filling...
 
Do the parachute lesson in the flight school in Las Venturas.. Do a headplant (i.e. don't open the parachute) quit the flight school and watch the sequence..
 
I recently got the gumption to get the last three golds in flight school & aquire the Hunter. Ooh, Baby! I`d forgotten what a blast it is to blow the crap outta everything with it! If you don`t have the Hunter, get it. 💡 You don`t know what you`re missing. :)

There's an unmarked Pay N' Spray near Caligula's where you can freefall all you want and not die. Have you been trying it at that place?
The structure of the building is glitched I guess, there's a space between the sidewalk and the inside where your car gets sprayed, you fall through 'grey hell' for a couple seconds, then you'll reappear at the sidewalk in front of the Pay N' Spray.

I get a kick out of the lines CJ says when he's freefalling like that.
 
ive driven around and shoot at cats so the speed off the after a 4 or five sec head start i try to catch up to them. If funny cause when the CPU is in panic mode the are almost as wreckless as me ;) Also I may stand on top of a car and shoot and bomb people while tring to stay on
 
I download HOT COFFEE MOD. :lol: :p But seriously, I grab my Jumbo Jet and crash it into the LS Skyscrapers downtown. THE ULTIMATE IN TARRORISM IN THE GAME! If you have a parachute sometimes you can bail out just in time to survive. :lol: I just wish you could damage buildings. Sometimes I just get in the Monster truck and run over the police cars and drift it down the wooden sidewalk killing about 50 people with the back wheels and getting 2 stars in the proccess. :lol: Sometimes I just drift a cop car around the SF Hospital loop by the front entrance. I never get bored in this game.
 
The reacting 9/11 is actually disturbing and sick, I know it's a video game and your just having fun, but that doesn't give you the right to disrespect the people who died on those planes.
 
Yeah that is a bit satanic.

Anyway back to topic, when im a bit bored on SA i just do some unique jumps or something, or try and recreate moments from films - using helicopters and such.

-Satanic? It's just anti-social.
I'll stop there...

I'm with Emohawk on this one. I'm well aware of what satanic is and is not, and that's just plain satirical and maybe a bit sick.
 
I wouldnt know what to do know consider my retarded brother plays it and scratched the hell out of it beyond repair. Time to visit a pwnshop, where i cna underage bye a barely illegal game for 10 bux. Cant beat it really.
