go BASE jumping

I want to go skydiving next summer. It’s only $125 for the first tandem jump. I say next summer because there is too much, this summer, that’s begging for my money(mostly savings haha). Also I say “only” $125 because over the course of a year, that’s not really that much.

I did some more research and to get certified, it’s about $1500. That’s a lot, I don’t care who you are or how much time you have. So here’s the plan.
Go skydiving once. Become super good friends with one of the instructors. Have them teach me for free and get me certified.

Sounds good to me. After all, it’s what you know, it’s who you know, right?

I have always wanted to go BASE jumping. BASE stands for building, antenna, span(bridge), and earth. If you don’t know what BASE jumping involves these things in, find out.
This is actually a pretty lofty goal. You first have to be a certified skydiver. That’s no easy task. You have to tandem jump something like 10 times or so just to jump solo. Then you have to make so many solo jumps. Thats not cheap! I’m gonna need a pretty lucrative job and a pretty generous wife to pull this off.
Even if I never get certified or anything, I really just wanna get a chute and jump off a huge cliff…after climbing it.
