hey guys.
Hi guys. My names Stefan and I live in D.C. I just recently saw a thing on base jumping on tv about a week ago and quite frankly, I would love to do it. I love extreme sports and any other info I could on where to get started would be awesome.

what you saw on tv, yeah, you see, that was C.G. and special effects. that does not actualy happen in real life. are you crazy?

To see if BASE is right for you start small:

1st jump off of the roof of your car, if that
goes well then try jumping off a 1 story roof.

Keeping trying higher heights till
you break somethingTongue

Stefan.

Ideally you need to start skydiving first and learn about parachutes. Go to dz.com and search out a dropzone in your area.

We all had a dream coming from somewhere! He is just happy to find something he have been searching for in his life!

Hard to understand for some hardcore internet basers!
