General BASE

Shortcut
Trinidad and Tabago
So I knew I had this trip to Tabago coming up in June but just found out I have to be there for 9 days!

Anyone familiar with the scene there? Anything to jump? Any locals? Any information on legalities or law enforcement there? I know its somewhat close to AF but I am pretty sure thats still a no go.

Any information would be appreciated.

I will def have to check out the surf scene if i cant find a base adventure, always wanted to try it.

Anyway...I just heard from a very good source that apparently jumpers can hire guides to get them to exit points. Anyone feel like making an South American Base Adventure? I dont care where, i just need an adventure out of this.

$20 bucks you end up in a South American Prison.

You're on!


However...if you win and intend on collecting then i would suggest helping with the extradition process. Wink

Re: [FreeFallFiend] Trinidad and Tabago
Came back from Trinidad recently from a business trip there.
The mountains they do have look to be more suitable for ground launching than BASE, although they all looked to be heavily forrested - at least I didn't see any big dropoffs that screamed BASE at me.
Of more interest to you might be some of the new buildings on the waterfront around the Hyatt hotel in Port of Spain. Wink

$20,000,000 bucks he cries and shit stains his underpants if he does end up in prison. In fact he'd probably do that if he even had the cop approach him!
