looking for a mentor in n.j.
I curently have 9 base jumps with instuction from Jonny Utah I'm am looking for someone to help me progress in the all aspects of the sport. If someone wants to take me in to the dark side so I can learn without making a mistake or buring an object. I do own my own gear wich is a perigeen 2 / ace 240 with a 46" pioletchute.
Thanks

Re: [mattsplat] looking for a mentor in n.j.
Last night I recieved a phone call from Johny Utah. I compleated his starter course at Twin Falls last July. With his years of expierience and skill level He deffenetly made my new found expierience wishing for more. He was able to introduce me to a local jumper that will progress me in skill, safty, object, and the enviroment. I feel like a little kid before christmas becuse he is taking me on my first A in a week after we compleate some ground work. I defenetly owe this to Utah for mking this happen.
thanks.

if you get bored on a rainy day, start a blog, so when others are bored they can read you bloggings (spelling) on your base career from the start, if ya do just dont go out of ya way to impress readers.

I could add a few more links of Russian base jumpers but they are, duh, in Russian Wink

Speaking of Russians, here's a fresh video from one of their local playgrounds:
