    BASE jumping = death (I hope not)

    I am moving to London - UK from Perth Australia in a month or so, for good.

    I've been skydiving once (tandem) and I loved it....

    I have always been interested in BASE jumping and I have decided to start when I get to the UK.

    I have done A LOT of reading on the internet about what I need to do to get started eg: complete 200 skydives first....

    Whilst reading up on BASE jumping I can't help noticing how much people say it's dangerous.

    Sure, I know it would be a dangerous sport but its got to the stage now where Im under the impression that; if you are a BASE jumper... it will eventually kill you!

    Hopefully I've just read all the negative sides to BASE jumping.

    I still want to get into it but I need a bit of positive feedback....can anybody help ?!

    Thanks

    Check out http://www.bpa.org.uk/ to find the nearest DZ to you when you land in the country of terrible weather! Go learn to skydive. This in itself can be all comsuming and very much enjoyable. Go have fun turning the world upside down with your friends at 180mph - you will find many rewards in skydiving - it opens up many doors to you. You may even find that you dont want to BASE once you get into it. Take your time.

    Do a search on these forums with key words like "newbie, teachers, mentors, learning, first jump, help" et cetera et cetera - you will find many old posts relating to yours (probably including some of mine when i was trying to break in!!)

    Moving from Austrailia to the UK - now your the bloody mad one! :o
