General BASE

Getting started
I heard I could get some info here on BASE. I was told at my local DZ
that people around my area do jump. And maybe I could come watch, learn and then jump-eventually. FYI I live in a 48-story building in Manhattan. Enough said!

Re: [felonie19] Getting started
You've only registered recently and your only posts have been asking about BASE activity in your area. The avatar and mentioning you live in a high rise building while probably intended to raise interest will definitely raise suspicion.

What is your local DZ? Perhaps one of us knows an active BASE jumper there who we can point in your direction.

I can’t wait to see the responses to this one. The site seems to be running slow. The over flow from your in box may be responsible for crashing the whole server.

Drama is for the internet. I don't encounter it all that often when BASE jumping in real life.

Felonie..what up? We met when you were on Student Status, I invited you up to the DZ I own in PA. We have some A's within 30 minutes up here, if you want to come up and check it out. Also, I will PM you the name of someone in NYC I know.

Re: [980] Getting started

Re: [magot] Getting started
Thanks for all the replies and the PMs!

magot, I would love to be ground crew on one of your urban jumps, and we do live so close one another!

Hey if you want you can jump from my appartment, the landing area does not look bad, I could probably land there myself Wink

I still do not know what route to go: a FJC as many suggested in the PM or learn from a mentor as some are willing to be.

Any ideas?

Both.

Those are complementary learning courses, not exclusive ones. Get a mentor, then take a FJC, hopefully stick around in TF with your mentor for a week or so, then head home and learn more.

How about getting a mentor, talking with him about BASE and agreeing on doing a FJC, he could then mentor you after you would have had the basic knowledge?

Re: [blitzkrieg] Getting started
You guys leave maggot alone he is a good guy trying to help his fellow jumper maybe he should give Jimmy a call and get Felonie and Clair together for Partying, Horses, Guys, Girls and BASE! Sly
