yeah you have to have alot of skydives in though before you can basejump though i think.

my uncle is a hard core sky diver, he has over 1000 jumps i think. But im stoked, he told me that he will take me when i turn 18. Ya, base jumping looks really sick too, but hell of a lot more dangerous than sky diving, so much timing and skill involved.

BASE jumping scares the shit out of me. I'd rather go skydiving.

skydiving gives you the same feeling and you fall longer. I guess it would be cool to jump off a building or something though. I wanna go skydiving.

I saw a movie about Shane McConkeys expidition to Baffin Island where they BASED jump for about a week. In that time Shane lived more that some people do in their lifetimes. I can only imagine the thrill of it.

I think that would be so cool. it'd be like jumping, except for a couple minutes. Parachuting is fun by itself, too. I would ski off the biggest cliff I could find, like mcconkey

eah that guy in Cold Fusion free falled for a few minutes and set some world record for base jumping. It looks sort of fun, but I'd rather do something that I have a little more control over, rock climbing, hang gliding, almost anything.

Good luck with base jumping on yoru first ever sky dive...you do realize that the first like 200 jumps has to be with an instructor and that if you base jumped without and previous knowledge you'd probably freak out and not pull the cord in time

-at least you went down naked-

no i figured it out when he over shot the bowl and shit on the back of the toilet. then he signed my beanie.-Hoodratz47 in response to being in the same public bathroom with mike wilson

I'm pretty sure BASE jumping is out of the question until you've gotten a serious amount of sky dives under your belt. And some specific BASE jump training. Not to mention that almost every BASE jump you do in the US or Canada is illegal. But hey, if you just wanna go jump off a building with a parachute, good luck!
