jacketsdb23 45 #33 December 17, 2010 Quote and most young skydivers today will say BASE is something they'd like to do someday. Nick - love reading most of your posts...but I disagree with this statement. MOST is pretty strong. I would wager that its less than 50% of skydivers wish to BASE someday. It would be an interesting pole if you could get accurate results...I bet its in the 15-20% range. They are completely different sports. None better or worse than the other, but different, and there is a huge Risk/Reward gap...for me at least. And the chest strap...DUDE!Losers make excuses, Winners make it happen God is Good Beer is Great Swoopers are crazy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickDG 23 #35 December 17, 2010 I see what you're saying, but I used the word "most" because I recall when it was "none" so to me it does seem like most. NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickD I dunno...I think most watching something like Jeb's Year in the Life have said deep down...yeah, maybe someday! As a youngish skydiver that tends to associate with other younger skydivers I would agree that it is most. I would not say that most have a strong desire to BASE or ever will, but most do tip their hats to BASE and say that possibly/maybe they might like to try BASE later. It's nice to see that the stigma associated with BASE is starting to disipate a bit as high profile jumpres like Jeb progress and shine more light on the sport. The "old days" of skydiving have been romanticized a bit and the spirit of many of those stories (balls out, "no shit there I was..") tends to currently reside more (IMHO) in base than skydive. Skydive as a sport seems to have developed to a point where if you have the desire, time, some basic athleticism and a huge wad of cash you can become a great flyer quickly... I don't (again IMHO) think that held true for skydive 30-40 years ago or BASE today...for those of use that are new coming into the sport that gives BASE a certain allure.

If you just want to do a recreational jump from the Perrine, well, go ahead. But if you want to jump different objects, you need to learn more. Reaction time, canopy control, and judgment is required.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
