Best 2 American cities for BASE:
Twin Falls, Idaho or Moab, Utah

Yes, Martial Training helps one learn
to control their emotion, breathing,
balance, etc. at the exit point.

Good Luck Cool

Is this really you? Because Seattle isn't a bad place for BASE either now that I think about it.

Holy crap where did you find that picture??? :-O

I've never been to Moab, it seems like a wonderful place to BASE and highline hehehe

I want to leave here within the next 2 months, I think I'm maybe looking for an excuse to go to some random exotic country lol or just trying to avoid spending a cold winter in the USA...

Re: [Crucial] Hi everyone!
Washington is the only place in the world that has volcanos, Orca, Octopus, a rain forest, a desert, hippies (we call them hipsters, but they all slackline the same) and jobs all within 60 miles of each other. Just sayin...
For everyone else, I am of course lying about the jobs. Please stay where you are.

Re: [OuttaBounZ] Hi everyone!
lol except for the part where I think I'm being included in a category of slacklining hipsters?

but ignoring that bit, are any of those volcanoes highlineable?

Try South Africa. Capetown is really nice, a lot warmer than the USA in the winter, and has a good BASE scene. It's also less expensive than the USA.

Re: [TomAiello] Hi everyone!
True, But again... Jobs is an issue.

Try Johannesburg, i'm sure you can all overlook the crime and corruption for the good objects Tongue

This must be Nick?

If it is Nick
Yeah, unfortunately the CPT Crew was up in JHB for a bit on different jobs. POC one of the CPT guys is headed back south on Monday and should be able to help you out. He is keen for jumping and I'm sure he won't mind pointing you in the right direction.

If this isn't nick...
maybe the locals don't want to be contacted??? Tongue

This picture is named incorrectly. That's a (one armed/one handed) elbow lever, not front lever. A front lever is something entirely different.

That's why I can be frank and "honest" instead of saying what will make people like me.

CLO, you're worse than I was when I started here. Do yourself a favor and go learn something instead of pissing people off.

I seem to be behaving fairly normally - people tend to just get upset because it's "the internet" and words in type seem somehow more aggressive. It's a shame if some people get pissed off by my posts but I can't really help that.
