New to BASE
'Sup guys - I'm an adrenaline junky who just knows that one of them squirrel suits is my thing and they look super easy to fly. Will someone teach me? .
.

...Ahem, what I meant to say is: I'm a young(ish) jumper who's looking to find out if the risk/reward of BASE computes for me.
A little about me: 550-ish skydives over 3 years, mostly RW and Classic Accuracy. Coach, senior rigger, etc... The freefall is great, but the canopy ride is really why I skydive - can't get enough of it! I get a kick out of older gear and the history of the sport, and enjoy the rigging as well as the jumping.
Given the above sentiments, BASE seems to have a lot of the things that appeal to me: learning, planning, rigging, canopy challenges. I'll be at Twin Falls in September for some PCAs with a qualified mentor, and I am signed up for both Bridge Day and the preceding 3 day course. Looking to find out if the reward exceeds the risk for me.
Looking forward to meeting a few of you and learning - If anyone needs ground grew in the central Ohio area (or surrounding states on weekends) I'm happy to pitch in, deliver beer, and soak up the knowledge that I can.
Cheers!
