I vowed during my AFF that I would do a naked one for my 100th... little did I realize how soon my 100th would come! I'm at 87 jumps now... and will be reaching 100 in about 2 weeks. So Naked Skydive!!! I am doing no video though, and I'm not going to reveal which dropzone I'm going to do it at. PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

Good job J!! I'm so proud of you!! Keep it up!! PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

Ok, I worded that wrong. I was referring to this paragraph. Some men try to use the mystique of BASE jumping to attract women. There are few seduction tactics as tried and true as “being the teacher” (just ask a Tandem Master). Many women are attracted to the knowledge, confidence, and (supposed) power of a guy who can “teach” them to BASE jump. This is not a secret to the boys. Worse, men are tempted to overstate their qualifications as a teacher when they are interested in a woman. What guy will admit to an attractive BASE-curious skydiver that he isn’t qualified to teach? He will try to impress her with his “expert” credentials, saying “of course I can take you BASE jumping—just stick with me and you’ll go a long way, baby.” If his goal is to get laid, he isn’t an appropriate teacher. Hang out with him, date him, have fun with him, skydive with him, sleep with him—but learn BASE from someone else. I do not mean to discredit any of the other females. I do apologize. I was trying to find on the internet, but I'm having some trouble with my search of places high enough, that you can use your real rig. Is there such a thing as a 2,000-3,000 ft. object one could jump off of? I am just trying to gather information. Don't worry, I am not going to go out and buy a BASE rig and rush into it. I have gotten many PM's and more responses on here saying 200 jumps is not enough and to wait. That is what I am going to do.... I do like the idea about going with BASE jumpers to watch them jump and video them/drive them. Thank you for all your input. PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

I go to UCF, and no school all day.... hehe it's not even raining right now! PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

Does anyone know where the nearest pendulator to Florida is? PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

What's that suppose to mean! This forum was my starting point, and now I can't wait to venture out and learn more and hopefully network with other BASE jumpers in the area. I am going to wait until I have 200 jumpsl, but I now have new goals in mind to help prepare me. As for the swimming pool idea from above, should I practice doing belly flops into the pool? And from what height? Finally, today a friend told me that a high number of student, girl, BASE jumpers die.... why is the number higher in females rather than men? Is it because of strength, reflexes, or is it like the thread posted above about guys pressuring them into jumping (ex: boyfriends)??

Could I practice BASE exits from hot air baloons? PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

hehe..... I want to do them! My accuracy and landings have gotten better, and I have a B license.... so I don't want to wait any longer! PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

So hurricane party anyone? :o) PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

Thanks everyone! I think I have a long way to go before I do my first BASE jump.... such as working on my exits, accuracy, and canopy control. I can't wait to start reading and learning about the sport. Even though I may not be ready now... my first BASE jump will come! Until then, I plan to soak up as much information as possible and practice!! PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

Thanks! I'll be there next weekend! PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

Can someone maybe PM me a name of a person who is around deland/titusville/z-hills who does B.A.S.E. that could possibly be a mentor in future BASE jumps? PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

Does anyone know where one can do night jumps in florida soon? I haven't heard anything about them going on. PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

lol thanks! PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

Lately, everytime I see a tall building or bridge, I think to myself... "I wonder what it would be like to jump that... and how/where would I land." I'm still pretty new to skydiving with only 87 jumps... but am considering BASE jumping. How many jumps do you suggest one to have before they start BASE and is there anything I can be doing in skydiving now to prepare me for future BASE jumps? Finally, is there a BASE class offered anywhere for your first BASE jump? PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

Crap, I didn't know a hurricane was coming! PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

They will definitely drill in your brain during your first jump course how to handle malfunctions! Some places have a training harness that you can practice in as well. Even after my first jump course training, I would ask an instructor to go over EP's (emergency procedures) with me if it was raining or too windy. Glad you are joining the sport! I'm a newbie myself, and loving it! PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

0:2:0 Shitty weather came in on saturday... but my 2 jumps were fun!! Plus, I got to make 2 scuba dives this morning :o) PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

Looks Like I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue! haha....Airplane is my favorite movie of all time! PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233

I think the coaching rating should be way higher. I have 85 jumps right now, and there is no way I could coach someone in 15 jumps. I am a major newbie.... I would say maybe 200-250 jumps at least to get a coaches rating. PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233
