General BASE

Shortcut
South Dakota?
Just getting out to South Dakota. Been looking around, seen some possibilities and wanted to see if there was anyone else who's active in the South-West SD area. Hit me up
Cheers

Re: [Rifter] South Dakota?
To my knowledge there is only one active jumper in Rapid City although he is currently deployed and only recently finished his FJC in Twin Falls.

The dropzone in Hot Springs has a few BASE jumpers but they've all retired to skyjumping. They used to have the keys to a huge antenna with an elevator but that fell down a few years back.

Heya thanks for hitting me back. Sounds like some champagne base there, keys to an elevator to the top, haha. Tried to hit up some of the hot springs skydive crew but no reply. Will head out that way when they start jumping again. Keep rocking,

Re: [Rifter] South Dakota?
Sometimes I fly for Hot Springs and do coach jumps. They are on a break for the winter but whole group usually goes to Eloy for a week or two early in the year.

How did you end up in South Dakota?
