Re: [Sane] SOMEBODY GIVE THIS KID A PARACHUTE!!!!!
In reply to:
I actually started training this stuff after I wanted to get into BASE, because I thought it was the closest I could get to jumping without a rig...
I imagine there have been many different training or "gateway" sports to BASE, for different people. For me, I'm currently training most intensely with climbing, of late getting more comfortable taking large lead falls (as well as the general strength, endurance, and equipment knowledge needed for various forms of outdoor climbing). I can see platform diving being a good training route too, or gymnastics.
