Hi all. I am new here. I have done no B.A.S.E jumps but find it very interesting. I have done a few short of 200 skydives and would love to one day do a few B.A.S.E. jumps.

I have no one to learn from as I am the only Skydiver in my town with my nearest DZ being 200km from my home. Time will tell.

The object I am interested in for now is the [ ] bridge some 1800km from home. I spend each December in that area and have Bungeed from it before. Any one here jumped it?

this site has a policy against site naming. in some regions it helps keep the site open and in all areas, we'd rather slow down the unprepared newbies from just getting locations and going.

Cool I understand. Sorry. That explains why I couldn't find anything on it in the search function.

It's been jumped by several people on the forums.

It's actually one of the country's more popular sites.

Hi xmesox. I have seen videos of jumps made from it. About a 3 sec delay? Landings seem to be tight. Are you from that area?

Can I PM you for info?

I'd recommend you pm dan_inagap, he should be able to help you out :)

Cheers

Thank you, that is most helpful.

Hey duuude, send me a pm and we can chat about BASE in SA.

Funny, you remove the name and then leave the link. Nice looking bridge though.

haha fail

Thanks Dan...PM sent.
