Looking for a Mentor / Instructor
Hey guys,
I have been lurking in the forums and reading all I can about BASE Jumping. I live in Central FL and am looking for a mentor to lead me into this sport.
A little about myself:
I have been Skydiving for about 3 years, I have about 1200 jumps. I jump at ZHills. I have researched the sport, and understand the risks/dangers of BASE jumping and choose to accept them. I Plan to make my first jump at BD this year. I am looking for someone willing to take me in and teach me the ins and outs of jumping more safely. any suggestions on someone willing to do this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

DJ,

Morpheus Technologies is out of Z-hills also. They build some really nice BASE gear and do a FJC too. Rob and Kathy are super nice. What better way to learn than from one of the manufacturers. They're at www.baserigs.com
