Re: [konstantine] In search of mentor in Galveston or Houston… will drive 300miles if I have too
Konstantin,
It's about three weeks until Bridge Day in West Virginia.
http://www.bridgeday.info/ If you can't afford the gas, hop a Greyhound bus, a freight train, or just stick your thumb out right now and start hitchhiking.
You'll be able to watch close to a thousand BASE jumps up close and in the daylight, observe hundreds of BASE pack jobs, and party and make friends with who knows how many BASE jumpers.
It's the best freebie BASE education in the world.
The first thing to do when you get there is find Jason, the Bridge Day Organizer. And follow him around like a puppy dog. Whenever he bends down to pick up something beat him to it. Sooner than later he'll give you a job. It might be crowd control on the bridge, helping with the waivers, or even emptying trash cans in the camp ground. Whatever it is just do it and you'll be on your way.
After that the ground's the limit!
