B.A.S.E. is ilegal in the US exept for special events like Bridge Day in west virginia. They have a first jump course but you have to have at least 100 skydives…and it cost a lot. So if you dont have the time,money or guts scratch it off your list. Personally i find it amazing, i only have 17 skydives and hope to have my A license by the end of the summer. 8 more :]
How to bASE jump
How I did it: Well, I cheated. Turns out it takes a lot of training and money to finally be able to base jump by yourself. So I just went bungee jumping. It was fun, base jumping=too much training/money. Totally worth doing if you win the lottery or is your #1 goal in life.
Lessons & tips: Just do it

Base Jump off the sears tower in Chicago or any other super tall building structure.
I want to run with a parachute on my back, off of the top of a tall building and just slowly glide down to safety
I failed at this. To be honest, I havent even tried.
I’ve been evaluating all of my goals on my list and this one seemed a little out of my legue. It’s not something i’d wake up one morning and say “oh ill go base jumping today, looks fun!!”
The whole consept scares me a little. I mean, your jumping off a height of 1,000 feet. By yourself, with only a parachute. and you’d have no idea where you’re going to land. that scares me.
Sure, I wish i could do it. It looks exhilarating, but i dont think i could ever bring myself to jump on my own from a height of 1,000 feet off a mountain or volcano etc.
I think I’ll just stick to sky-diving sinse you can have an instructor dive with you =D lol
As for the rest of you base jumpers, you have more balls than I do XD
Im only 17 and it’ll probably take a while to cross this off my list but its somethin i really wanna do
