as i see it no one is ever totaly acepted everywhere but it is smarter to listen look and learn and ask questions before even concidering taking the 1st step on a very long hard journy if it was cool i wanted id turn on the a/c lol the way i see it i hate wasting time but you guys are probably 10 times more saftey oriented due to the risk factor, you have to be the best every timeas i read alot of posts in other areasthe base forum seems to take it to a new level you guys deserve everyones respect you earned it the hard way !!!

lol at age 40 i gotta take baby steps and lern to skydive and may never get to or want to do base but the dark side does attract me

I totaly agree my point is pilots must me very calculated and percise i am here to lear and as in planning a x country a base jumper can do all the calculations prepare for the jump all day but half the rush has got to be gettin in or on to a site and pulling it off without anyone finding out the planning and execution of the experience as a whole not just the jump is what interests me

might also try searching gorge and dam i use searches to find new hiking and fishing grounds and have run across some great out of the way places

Thanks i read alot of posts and the rules thats why im getting to my point slowly. I live in an area that could be an awsome playground for you guys but aint giving up any info on it in a public forum and unless i know im not gona get some half jacked idiot with a superman comic hurt or killed im not talking. with that i will say in almost 20 years here not 1 time have i heard of anyone doing any base from some possible 1st jumps and this is the 1st forum i have found that i feel ok with trying to make a few friends. I would realy like to even just find out if anyone has done a few spots in the southeastern us. Thanks hope im not out of line

maybe i should clarify myself i just think the planning of an adventure is half the fun even if you dont jump alot more goes into it than just rigging and jumping i.e. site selection wind and turbulent factor alternative plan and that kind of stuff

1st let me say i found this site looking around for skydive training so i dont know chit however as a private pilot i have followed base for maybe 7 or 8 years just due to the fact your planning, training and risk calculation are very similar. my question is are non jumpers welcome... your posts have helped me to learn alot and will make me a safer skydiver and pilot .
