newbie4ever 0 #1 October 18, 2006 i recently went out of state to do some "real" base jumps and realized: where i'm at now kinda sucks and i'm going back again=work realated. and if i have the same experience i did the last time i'm actually thinking about asking for a transfer of work out west. is there something wrong with this? imean it's all about moving for base i'll actually be losing money i,e cost of living but gaining sites/weather and being around some cooler people etc. bye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blitzkrieg 0 #2 October 18, 2006 i guess that would depend on your definition of "real". East side is da best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newbie4ever 0 #3 October 18, 2006 i didnt mean better(west only) i just meant in paticular to my surroundings. and what i had done out there and some of the people i met etc. and "real" again was just to my experiences. sorry about mywording! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blitzkrieg 0 #4 October 18, 2006 ...in that case... what makes you most happy, is best for you... but not necessarily for anyone else... if that makes sense. my backyard playground is great... but the TRAVEL to other and new objects is more than half the fun. good luck.

The leaves in the fall aren't all that great! But you gotta make do w/what you got, and if you don't like sliders, than the EC can be real fun. Plus the fines are nothing like they are if busted in CA. And maybe I'm just spoiled, but anything over a grand just doesn't sound like that big of a rush..... Plus 9/10's of the people in the east are assholes! but that just limits the number of personal relationships that might inhibit your selfish activities. isn't a "real" base jump: illegal, at night, and usually involves evading security..... or have i just been tainted by NY?....
