I beat it to, and yes you have to hit the "exit" square when the big square is in the middle, do that a few times and you move on. Greenie in training.

Thanks for that Jaap, it was a great read. Is the entire book about the trip or what does the rest of it consist of? Greenie in training.

I fully agree. As I stated earlier I think you should have at least some skydiving background and that I think that will always be the primary sport that leads to BASE. Greenie in training.

eww... no keyboard. glorified legal pad. Greenie in training. -
Wow, way to take that out of context. I love the fact that because I have my skydives listed as 50 everyone jumps down my throat on that comment. I was not saying that it is trivial. It definitely takes skill, just not as much as you would like to believe. Greenie in training.

Aside from teaching you about gear, it'll also help in developing reflexes and the right spirit as described by TVPB in this post. I'm still looking forward to my first skydiving malfunction. The one that I survive, that is. At least quote the whole sentence next time. Skydiving gear and BASE gear have similarities but there are also big differences. Besides, that is something that can be taught on the ground. A PCA off of a 200ft bridge is, step off, pop your toggles, turn to landing area, land. The packing is probably the hardest thing to learn for that. Anyone with an A license could probably steer the canopy to the landing area and land it if properly instructed how to do so. If you had a mal or offheading that would have to be dealt with as well, but once again that is something taught on the ground that you are not going to experience until you are on a BASE jump.

Skydiving will always be the primary first step in learning to BASE I think. That being said, take this with a grain of salt because I have yet to make my first BASE. I don't see how skydiving helps at all when flicking a 200ft bridge, outside of knowing how to fly and land a ram air canopy. Accuracy is a big issue I know, but jumping a fully eliptical canopy loaded down is a whole different ballgame than a large BASE canopy. Is there something I am missing? Greenie in training.

You have to understand that you don't drink absinthe the same way you do normal alcohol. It is served differently and generally in much smaller volumes. You get what you pay for, and that is especially true for absinthe. Greenie in training.

I love all of the stuff from unplugged that show they used to do on MTV. It is cool hearing some great music played through an acoustic with no effects. Greenie in training.
