Possible newbie in OK.
Hello all, I have been lurking here for awhile. I have tried to read as many posts and articles as possible but surely plan to read many more in the future. I know this may be a long shot but is there anyone located in Ok, specifically the Tulsa Area that is just starting out in the sport that would like to have a partner to train with and bounce ideas off of. When I say just starting out I mean that. I am signed up to start my Skydiving school in a couple of weeks. BASE is not something I am ready to Jump into (pun intended) right away. To be honest I am not sure I will even go through with it but I would like to get prepared in the proper manner and then make that decision. I am very familiar with dangerous sports and am used to my share of broken bones and emergency room visits. I have been roadracing motorcycles for the past 9 years for my adrenaline fix but have recently decided that it has consumed me and I am going to cut back. I realize that Base could become consuming but at least it would be something that other members of my family could enjoy. I mean we could all go on the same trip, I could make a jump or two and not be stuck at the track all weekend. Long story short I realize that Base for me will be a journey just like the last 9 years of racing has been. I do not plan to take shortcuts and I am fully prepared to wait for a year or two for my first actuall base jump and then another year or two to recieve my number (if ever). So if anyone reading this in my area would like to take the slow approach send me a PM. Oh and to all of you Crazy **cks I want you to know that I respect and admire your courage and your zest for life!!!! Later, Jive
