Rockclimbing.com . . .
Every few months I check in at rockclimbing.com and type "BASE jumping" into their search page. It's interesting to me what people outside the sport perceive about BASE and as I've tracked this website for a few years I've noticed some changes. Climbers as a group are very aware of BASE jumpers. They encounter them in the field and climbing magazines frequently run stories on BASE. At first, years ago, they weren't too knowledgeable about what we do, but I notice a change in that now.
Due to the spread of BASE knowledge they, most of them anyway, seemed to have developed a respect for the sport. There are a few BASE/climbing types on the site who set things straight, and I've seen more than a few posts from our own Tom Aiello doing the same.
So take a look here http://rockclimbing.com/forums/newsearch.php and type in "BASE jumping" with the quotation marks.
If you decide to register and post, in order to correct something or add a comment, please play nice, as we need the climbing community on our side in the fight against our common foe who they refer to as, "the Tool" . . .
