skydiver88 0 #1 March 12, 2008 so i have noticed a lot of hostility towards base jumping from skydivers. it totally makes sense to me that people dont approve but i have heard some mean shit from people. im wondering how many people have base jumped? and also how many people highly look down upon it or just think its whatever? also how many of you would suggest it?

D22369 0 #5 March 12, 2008 I have heard many skydivers say stuff like... "thats crazy man, just fuckin crazy" they jump from lower than I initiate my 270 to swoop, one parachute...fuck that... but I havent ever heard any who appeared to look down on it. My interest in base came to an abrupt end when I did ground crew and one of the jumpers had a mal and hit the river - he got very lucky, broken ankle and tailbone. My interest in the sport is gone, but I wouldnt ever talk shit about anyone doing it or the sport itself... I would never suggest it, but if someone made thier interest known, I would point them in the right direction to get more info and training. even though they ARE some craaaazyyyy peopleRoy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moto89 0 #7 March 12, 2008 Honestly... the hostility you are getting is because you are asking about getting into base with 30 jumps. That's all it comes down to my friend.Less talking, more flying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigway 4 #9 March 12, 2008 I dont see him getting any hostility at all. He is getting answers to his questions. Many people BASE jump and do not skydive. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
