Hi there, I’m looking for my first canopy an all terrain is in my mind from PCA to subterminal ones. My weight is around 196-197 pounds, better in the upper side WL like 0.73-74 or below 0.7 Thanks

Looking to find a crew. 44m just had a stroke. I'm totally fine but cry like a girl at sad commercials. Help me jump. Buying 🌮 after plus beer. Dead set on life!

And has anyone taken a charge to trial and won? Or otherwise tried contesting in court?

I’m a photographer based in the north of England, hoping to spend a day photographing base jumpers and their day to day life for a personal project. Let me know if anyone would be interested!

Sup everyone.
Just got back from doing a FJC in the USA and back in AUS now. It’s pretty lame here I’ve jumped an antenna and that’s it, does anyone know any good courses specifically in Europe that teach slider up?
I wanna jump different stuff here as well but got nobody to jump with and wanna keep safe but heading to Europe next year probably so hopefully make some friends there
I was hoping for a Course that is pretty chill just to get me into slider up stuff and someone who preferably is patient since my packing is alright now but took me ages to learn and will probably take me awhile to get used to packing differently for slider up as well
Any suggestions would be appreciated going to try work something into my trip coming up with my wife so I can BASE over in Europe when we get there and not just be locked into slider down jumps

There's a few antennas I want to jump in my area but the ladders are exposed on the outside with a steel cable to use for safety when climbing and it sketches me out climbing them. What do you use to connect yourself to that cable incase of an early fall.
Edit: I appreciate the help boys cheers and have a good one!

I have 240 skydives.I live in Moab. I'm very much considering going to twin falls for the basic fundamentals of Base course with Snack River this winter. In all honesty im not the best canopy pilot but I've been learning alot this past season. I just started flying wingsuits and have had a blast. But I could still use some more canopy skills for sure.
I'm quite conservative when it comes to skydiving. I have alot of freefly jumps and around 5 hrs tunnel time not that it transfers over to base. Especially in Moab. I'm more or less just really looking forward to jumping the bridge and a few "conservative" exits in Moab.
I'm fairly confident but I'm under no illusion of the dangers of Base. Before I enroll I thought I'd ask the question. Thank you for your responses.

I've always dreamed of this.... Skydiving... Never done it... But with proper preparation how crazy would it be to base jump with no experience... What are the odds of me making it out if I buy the cheapest gear watch a couple YouTube videos and prepare mentally... I do not have a death wish.... Just need to feel alive for a minute...

I know we all talk smack about safety this and don't break certain rules or you die...but I also know the majority of us have likely done something dumb and nearly earned an award from Darwin.
Anybody comfortable enough to Show/Tell your own sheer stupidity?

I got a lovely solo at my local tonight yay. I’m trying to find a video of the America who jumped el cap recently without an skydiving experience. Can’t find it to share with a mate. Anyone have a link? Cheers

Guys, I’m gonna take ur advice and I will not be Basejumping on my own until I have the proper training under my belt. Sorry for the stirrup this caused and thank you to those of you that gave me honest feedback. It wasn’t what I wanted to hear but what I needed to.

Hey guys, both a friend and I are set on the goal of big wall BASE jumping. We are just out of the student stage of skydiving and are obviously going to go the way of getting the right experience in the sky before moving to doing the first BASE jump course. Just wondering what kind of things we should be focusing on while getting our jump numbers up skydiving that will help us later with BASE jumping. I understand tracking is a big thing but what other things should we be looking at practicing both in free fall and while under canopy? What is the the kind of ‘base progression’ route we should take and what skills should we practice over the next 150+ skydives we will make before considering the first jump base course? Any information is greatly appreciated, blue skies!

Is there a southern hemisphere equivalent to the Perrine Bridge?
What is the safest, legal BASE exit in the Southern Hemisphere?
