Re: [kimemerson] do i have to skydive before i base jump?
In reply to:
After that it's a matter of common sense and good vs. bad advice
Like the advice in your post about shopping around. I take that as bad. Common sense doesn't live in a persons head yet when they have 0 jumps.
What you're suggesting is, if you don't like the answer you receive, keep asking around untill you hear the answer you want.
A person with 2 BASE jumps just broke their back in Moab because their BASE canopy flying skills weren't up to par. Just because it can be done...doesn't mean it should. There's almost no BASE jumpers out there, with a sound mind, that thinks it's a good Idea.
