BASE Beginners

Hi

I am on the downhill side of 30 and very interested in BASE jumping.I am also aware that not all dreams turn into reality, but willing to work hard to give my dream the best chance of becoming reality.

I do have skydives logged but realise that I will need a lot more including balloon jumps.I have attended canopy control courses and is currently focused on attaining my packing license and hopefully my riggers license in due course.

We have BASE jumpers in South Africa and I will be doing some ground control for them whenever the chance presents itself.

I hope that this community will accept me and be patient with me lurking here reading and absorbing information and sometimes asking a you must be joking dumbass question as I go along.

? All it takes is dedication, time and money. and comparitively, its not that much money. I'd say its all up to you if you do it or not (or really want to do it or not). -my $.02
