Hey guys, I live in the chicago area and want to know if their was anybody who would be willing to mentor me. I am a skydiver, but I have no base experience what so ever. Im planning to attend FJC in early march. Any information helps! THANKS!

I am willing to bet that there are BASE jumpers you skydive with or at least at the same dz. if there is non there, find another dz. meet the jumpers, build a friendship with them. over time bring up your desire to BASE. make sure you know as much as possible about base before you talk to them. you must do your own work to get where you want to go, mentors are there to assist in your own education.
