Look up a guy on here named "Sangi". He is very helpful answering questions such as yours.

Hawaii has some great places to jump into. I don't know about in a track, but under canopy you can catch some killer thermals. Cool

Acctualy I didn't want to open a poll section, but I did Cool
But I see the opinions are equaly shared, so we're in ballance that's most important.
I'm new to base jumping and in the near future I want to give it a go and was wondering for nice and beautiful locations around the world.

But thanks for the reactions!

In a year, or maybe 2 I wil putt some video on the net.

any way you can get the video posted sooner? a year or two is a long time to wait, and I for one am on the edge of my seat. there's not enough base jumping footage posted on the interwebs right now...

just run it by Al Gore before you post on his internet.

I agree.

Every day when I wake up first thing I do is check Youtube for new radical videos of someone doing those super-cool PCA jumps from Perrine.

There is always the thing of practice and money... If I do something, I like to do as good as possible.

Two years should be the maximum ! But I will put another topic when time is ripe
I started this topic for planning my journey for the next year, in mean time I will search the best and most beautiful places
