Word of advice to new wingsuit BASE jumpers. If you are going to a jump you have never been to, and you watch a youtube video of the “sickest line ever!!!”, you might want to ask a few questions:
1. Are you as current and experienced as the person flying that line?
2. Is that person on the BFL now?
3. What were the weather conditions and time of day when that person flew it?
4. Do you really need to fly a super flat highly committed line on your first jump at a place?
5. Can you not wait till next year to come back with more training and experience?
Be honest with yourself, think long term…the mountains arn’t going anywhere.
Rant over…
