What do we call ourselves
I was talking to a non-jumper and she asked:

i guess you are in their, i dont know the term, club?

So I was thinking; what exactly do we call our 'club'?

I always thought it was just called the BASE community, but would love to know if there is a more specific term for it.

HELLO!!!!

You don't NEED to classify yourselves as anything. Do you also eat? Oh your in the eating club.. Are you a breather? Do you have sex? You fucker! We're fucking humanoid earthlings.. That's it. From time to time we jump off shit. So what. I don't think it's anything we should define ourselves by.

When I went to get things looked at after eight months or so recovery last year, the doctor assured me that my "association" certainly wasn't going to clear me to jump again after an injury like that.

Interestingly, the Hell's Angels refer to themselves as being in a motorcycle club and not as a motorcycle gang.
