Now you know what BASEjumpers does as they dont BASE driving alot of km´s is apart of jumping. It dosnt matter how long you´ll need to travel aslong as you had a good time..

Racenic 0 #10 August 31, 2003 I've driven 115 miles, and as I was pulling up the otter was getting airborne, No problem I'll be ready to go when it lands. The wind picked up 25-30 with max to 50. 30 minutes after the otter landed it was pulled into the hanger for the day! Jumped in the car drove 186 miles and got one jump in. Damn skydiving is fun!

freeflir29 0 #18 September 2, 2003 I flew from Cleveland, OH to Houston, TX. Then drove an hour or more south to Spaceland. Only to have afternoon thunder showers move in before we got the Otter up. A friend is about to become the manager of Skydive Houston though....so I'm going there next time. MUCH shorter drive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
