karenmeal 0 #4 May 2, 2006 Thanks Captain Obvious. I was presenting alternative activities for when skydiving gets too expensive. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #6 May 2, 2006 Quote There is always ground launching and BASE jumping. I think I'm currently paying about $150-$175 per BASE jump that I have made (factoring in the two rigs that I own, the initial FJC training and the travel to the various sites that I have jumped). On the surface it may appear to be cheaper than skydiving, but contrary to popular belief, BASE jumping is not free and neither is Ground Launching. Now if you've got an exit point that you don't get bored of, or a launchable hill, count yourself lucky. But in many cases a lot of travel and all the costs associated with travel must be factored in. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FIREFLYR 0 #8 May 2, 2006 My home dropzone BAS just went to $22 looks like I'm driving the 50 extra miles to Lodi, for $15 jumps. And oh yeah, BASE jumps are Wayyyyy more expensive! Even going to the 'nearest dropzone' for multiple jumps. Gas to Potato land : $160 Speeding ticket in Elko NV. :$187 Hotel for a week;$225 # of jumps:15 price per jump: $38 .....Don't even ask about Norway....
