    ^Forest Hill Bridge in Auburn, it is not. Tallest bridge in CA and 3rd in the nation and one of the most beautiful/fun places to explore in CA.
    On a side note a base jumper got caught in a tree jumping off that bridge this weekend and had to be heli-rescued. Police don't like people jumping off that bridge.

    Dope vids btw.

        How do you even get into this sport, become a skilled skydiver and just say fuck planes?

            but i know your from the east coast lol

            It's the new river gorge bridge. Its only legal to jump 6 hours a year. It's 876 feet or something. There was a video on Tosh.0 the other day of some dude hitting the water with no canopy... that guy jumped about 20 people before me. :( He IS alive though. SO far 2 people I have jumped with died this year. :(

            Basically. I started skydiving to get into base. I don't like a lot of the waiting around that you have to do to skydive.

            I made my 100th jump a few weeks ago off of a police radio station tower with a camera on it. Had to scale a building and then jump onto the antenna to avoid the camera. :D Flew right over a cop car. They never knew.


            Oh yeah, and here's a LOW jump that I don't think I posted:






            And a few more piczzzzzzzz:

                  I spent a few hours putting this video together...

                  My first trip to Moab. My exits could be flatter.

                        Pretty cool man. I've been wanting to skydive for the last 7 years. I need to save up and go. Or maybe just not spend money on the E30 for once. Ive don't the indoor before and that was cool but I'm sure it doesn't compare to the real thing.

                        So is the biggest issue peoples chutes not opening or a bunch of factors like wind, chute etc?

                        And have you thought about what Ur doing next? RB26 E30. Now base jumping.
                        DENY IGNORANCE!
