Yosemite park banned base jumping because it was dangerous a few years ago and some woman decided to jump from el capitan to show how safe the sport was in protest.

She went splat in front of her husband who was filming it and a few hundred other onlookers

A couple of people who I used to go to university with were avid base jumpers - they reckoned that jumping from a cliff really fucked with your senses, as it just felt like the cliff face was the ground and you were flying above it...

Gotta try it one day - tried just about everything else that insane

Fletch XXX · 06-05-2003, 10:19 AM

Ive jumped off a few high places, but always into water and never with a parachute.

Theres a railroad crossing in Mississippi when I was in college we would go on the weekends some time, its about a 10 second drop into a creek. Rail road bridges are a common starting base for jumpers, as they usually go over water and are quite high.

Ive always wanted to get into base jumping.

Back home there was always places to jump from, but again nothing nearly as high as real base jumpers, but i admit it is very addictive.

Where do you surf ? If that is what you are speaking of ?
Don't say Hawaii either .............lol

All your base jumpers are belong to us

BrutalMaster · 06-05-2003, 10:34 AM

I'll just stick with skydiving.

hollywood · 06-05-2003, 10:36 AM

I BASE jump and skydive. About 1200 skydives and did my 25 base jump weekend before last.

I've base jumped 3,500 ft cliffs in Norway, 350 ft cliffs in Moab, 400-900 ft cliffs in WA, antennae's, bridges in W. Virginia, Washington, Idaho, California.

I fucking love it, it's the only reason I work - to pay for more base jumping expeditions. It's an epic adventure every time, once you start - you won't stop. Takes years of skydiving training though, without it, you will die.

I have hours of video footage just not online yet. Crazy shit.

Buff · 06-05-2003, 10:55 AM

I have 282 Static Line Jumps with Uncle Sam, and 19 hours of Free Fall time. Never based jump yet.

Don't rush it. You should have around 500 before you even start thinking about it.. base jumping ain't disneyland - it's no bullshit life or death base jumping;=)

I've been jumping since '92 -- wouldn't exactly be rushing it.

But it's not top on my list of things I wanna try. For instance, I'm thinking of getting a motorcycle.

C_U_Next_Tuesday · 06-05-2003, 11:56 AM

I only climb mountains..i dont jump off... my hubby is a skydiver, and is looking into this sport..
bah, and he wanted to increase my life insurance for climbing

either way - static line does not prepare you for base at all, trust me. you need free fall time and experience dealing with malfunctioning canopies etc.

but i hear you, if it's not something you 100% want to do, you should not do it.
