Skydiving Experience: 74 Skydive Jumps

Motivation: I started Skydiving in summer 2013 when i was 15 years old (my parents allowed it under one condition: I have to pay it all by myself... and i did)
I have been fascinated by this sport right away!
But it has always been a big dream of mine to travel around and doing BASE jumps! I hope someone messages me and maybe introduces my to this wonderful sport!

Re: Finding a Mentor

I will travel to the US in mars to pick up my rig and do a couple of hundred skydives. My budget offers 400 skydives and I will live at the dropzone until I feeling ready. I have been working my ass off in 14 months to save money for everything I need to fullfill my dreams. But I rather learn from a experienced jumper then a aff course. I think I can learn alot more with 1 200 euros then off a course. I want the learing to be "personal".

During my stay I will practise alot of precision landings, on heading openings, be really aware of my body position and effective tracking.

If you are experienced base jumper and want to learn to know me before you even think of to take me out join me for a couple of coached skydives. I pay your loadticket If you are a openminded and decent person.

Location: Norway, Stavanger. (USA Mars, April, May and maby June)

Skydiving Experience: 25 jumps - budget for 500 more and buffert for gear and travel.

BASE Experience: Not more than books, weather studying, in the dreams and earlier first timers on the base scene texts/stories.

Motivation: I want to experience freefall from earth and do a sport who I can only trust myself. I also want to do It exacly as in my dreams. I pretty much live for what Im dreaming off but I still have understanding that Im not superhuman. :)

Would be awesome If someone In the US would want to take me out during my stay. I will arrive in Cali and stay at Lodi dropzone but Im really flexible in traveling since this is something I really want to do (After alot of skydives).

Send me your E-mail and I can tell more about myself.

Base Experience: None, but very eager to learn!
MOtivation: I have been climbing nearly all my life and loved being up high, started skydiving this summer in the pursuit of eventually base jumping. Tons of practice on my canopy skills and now I am eager to slowly introduce myself into the world of base and am looking for a mentor or friend to help me start my journey!!

Look forward to hearing from some one out there!![/email]

Re: [xmesox] Finding a Mentor

Figured I'd give this thread one last go.

Location: Nor Cal/Bay Area
Skydiving Experience: 90
BASE Experience: 1
Motivation: The one jump I did was the most rewarding experience I've had, and I want more. Also flyings been my dream since I was little.

Hey guys, I have a few more jumps since last time, and one BASE jump (PCA). I'll be in Idaho for 10 days next week for a FJC, then back in Nor Cal. I have a few people willing to show me around once I'm back, and know a couple local objects fairly well (through GC and my 1st jump). I have someone willing to mentor me, but he mainly jumps terminal cliffs and mainly with wingsuits, so I'm looking to see if theres anyone better suited and willing to help me out along my journey in BASE as I get started and am jumping more beginner objects. Also, if anyones looking for a jump buddy in the area on more beginner objects, let me know. I should have my rig near the end of March. And if you aren't looking to mentor, an advice is appreciated!

PM's preferred.

I would suggest hiring a professional first. There are more than a few courses that will help with your dilemma. Sure it will cost you some money but you will get experience in a relatively safe and comforting environment and when you are done you'll have all the confidence in the world to take home and destroy those jumps there!

Finding a Mentor

Location: Denver, CO
Skydiving exp: 1200+, iad / tandem instructor, suck at freeflying
BASE exp: 35, most from the Perrine, a couple from a popular bridge in CA, and the most popular exit in Moab.
Motivation: Recently moved back to Denver, and am looking for a few people to jump with. I'd love to get my A and B this year, but really just don't know anyone to show me some local spots and help me learn which local lagers and pilsners go best after a jump. Can someone help me find something worthwhile to stuff my BOC with?

Re: [pyrotech] Finding a Mentor

There are a boatload of BASE jumpers around Denver. Be careful that you don't go jump anything without figuring out the scene or getting touch with people because most stuff has been jumped, a lot of it has heat/history, and it's an active area.

Yeah, the last thing I want to do is burn something. I'm patient and would want to get plenty of info and a local to help me out rather than trying anything dumb.

Re: [xmesox] Finding a Mentor

I would like to say thank all of you guys and gals, as I have been inspired by watching videos, and bridge day jumps for several years. I have completed several long rappels and may get the chance to rappel at bridge day next year.

I have always wanted to learn about Skydiving and BASE Jumping and how to get into it. Starting next spring I intend to begin working towards my Class A license and eventually work towards at least a Class B C and D. Licenses. We now have a drop zone in Huntington WV, and they appear to be very active and do a lot of jumps, and the prices are reasonable. . At this time I have the following.

O Skydives
0 BASE Jumps ( Dreaming of doing some).

Looking to learn more and be as safe as a person I can be.

Keep up the great attitude and willingness to learn and you'll find people are very open to sharing worthwhile knowledge with you. Good luck with your sky training and take pride in knowing the fun is all in the journey of getting to your goal so enjoy it!

Re: [xmesox] Finding a Mentor

UK north west but will travel.
0 experience in either base or skydive.
(Done a tandem) lol
But basically I want to get involved with a group in the UK, I'm not expecting someone to go out there way and teach me how to BASE jump but I would love to get involved and see watch and maybe help? I'm a steeplejack and spend my work days up large structures that I want to jump of!! But maybe my skills could be of help sometimes? So yea I know I want to do it. Don't want to rush tho just want to meet some guys who do it and learn abit about it.
Thanks would appreciate response.
Currently on a job in Rotterdam so any Dutch guys who speak English feel free to respond.
