I am in NO rush to get in a WS. I’d like to take one off a plane, but WS BASE is WAYYYYY out for me… A tracking suit, however, is in my future… ---

Ironic considering my last post, but I ordered a wingsuit FOR SKYDIVING. Anyway, here’s another pic.

God I hope I can starts skydiving this year. The closest place is 7h away and my last 3 summers have been fucked up from work. I wanna start jumping from planes with the express purpose of heading into BASE. I don’t get to look death closely enough in the eye in my daily life. ---

I wanna start jumping from planes with the express purpose of heading into BASE. I don’t get to look death closely enough in the eye in my daily life. One word of advice. When you start skydiving… don’t talk about BASE to people at the DZ. Serious. Just go there, make at least 200 skydives and focus on canopy accuracy, then go to Idaho and take a first jump course. ---

Awesome. And dig it on the Skydiving/BASE thing. I can kinda understand why they might not want to hear about how you’re in this just to BASE jump… Sick drop off that old trestle. How many jumps/times a week do you actually get out to do this? (I’m assuming it’ll be more with your new canopy opening up new possiblities) ---
