General BASE

Shortcut
Realism
After an afternoon drinking and surfing and reading posts on here I thought I would make a suggestion! – Rather than the romantic looks cool looks hardcore videos around that makes skydivers want to BASE I think they should also watch the not so cool the not so hardcore driving miles hanging around industrial estates missing out on nights out hanging out in far out places not sleeping etc etc etc! Cause they way I see it to make a BASE jump you have to do a lot of that for those precious few seconds!!! It aint like jumping on a plane and getting out and kicking around the DZ!!! – There is no idealised version there! Its lonely its personal – is it really what you want?!?!?!Crazy

DONT!!!Sly

Well you have a point there,ill tell what ill do for a regular jump,on a open object.

First ill deside which alti ill jump from(if im not packed for it ill have to do a packjob),ill then pack my stash bag,ill drive 3-40min to the object.Ill climb atleast 20 min(yes i climb slow),prepere myself to the jump,do the jump,say hello to the nabourg(yes im drunk too),have a beer and a chat 15 min drive home and do a packjob(i usaly use 45min-1hour).Ill caculate 2hours for 1 jump..on a open freindly site..in 2 hours i could get 3 skydives if im quick...
