BEST BASE JUMP VIDEO

Hi everyone, I hope that you are having an excellent time, I am sorry that I have not put any post in the last days but mi head in this moment is the school. Remember that I told you about “PLANILLAS” well, we WON!! We are now student society for next year; we have different ideas like making theme days, and promoting the honesty between the students. I am really excited to entered and started participating with the school projects. Well, after telling you a short summary about my week, I would return to my topic about BASE jumping.

The video that is in the top of the post presents different short videos or takes about different people practicing BASE jumping. I get shock and amazed by the same time when I saw how two persons practice BASE jumping together; when making this fall, both of the persons need balance and a lot of organization to don’t make a mistake.

I enjoy this video and I hope you do it to.

Let's go!

Hello everyone! Next week we are having Planillas at Prepa Tec, planillas is when we give food to promote ourselves in the school, so people can vote for us to be the next in charge of the student council. For this week blog I would post opinion of a person that already realized BASE jumping, and with this, you can get an idea of how is making BASE jumping.

“BASE jumping is without a doubt my favorite sport in the world. If I had to give up all other activities and keep only one, it would be BASE. The feeling you get when you leap off of a stationary object is like nothing else in the world. NOTHING. You are jumping into dead space, with absolutely no noise or wind resistance. Since the object starts from a standstill, you experience the full effect of acceleration toward terminal velocity. This is entirely different form jumping out of a noisy airplane that already has velocity and is creating wind resistance. Don’t get me wrong. Jumping out of an airplane still fells incredible, but just cannot touch a fixed object exit”. (Troyhartman)

This adventurist also comment in his blog that BASE jumping has little “secrets” because is illegal in a huge number of places.  Try something new, and ALWAYS use the right protection for your safety. And remember:

Underwater BASE Jumping

Hello, I hope that you are doing really well! On my last blog I post that I was going to jump in a bungee. I was planning this with my friends, but unfortunately my friends in the last minute they decide that they don’t want to jump, so I didn’t had someone that go with me. But I really want to make this jump, and I will plan it again. I am entering to third partial, I cannot believe that my third semester is almost over, time is going really fast! My advice for you is to enjoy every moment and experiment new things like BASE JUMPING. I would continue talking about this activity and I promise that I will research each time more to make it more interesting for you.

If you click on the last link that I put, you would see a video of UNDERWATER BASE JUMPING. This is not an official sport like BASE Jumping, but it was like an experiment for a group of people. For me, underwater base jumping, is more scary that normal BASE jumping, because is dark and you don’t see were you are going or what is under there. Yes, is true that you are falling more slowly, but I preferred to have a rapidly fall, than a constant, scary fall.

Well, have an excellent week! And remember

Bungee Jumping

Hi everyone, yesterday my grades were complete and I magically got 91 in my English class. Believe me; I don’t know how I did that. Next Wednesday I’m getting seventeen and for my present I ask to go to Cola de Caballo and make a bungee jump. I would tell you how everything goes next week. Bungee in a way is similar to BASE jumping because with the both of them you make a free fall. So in this blog I would tell you more about bungee.

The difference between BASE jumping and bungee jumping is that in this activity, it involved jumping from a high surface while you are attached to an elastic cord. One end of this elastic cord is attached to the jumper’s body, while the other is attached to a stationary object at the jumping point. Typically, bungee jumping involves leaping from jumping points that are several hundred feet or meters high. The elastic cord used in this activity is designed to stretch during the jumper’s fall and snap back up rapidity. This causes the jumper to bounce up and down over the length of the jumping area until the energy from the jump has been depleted. Successful bungee jumps can be attributed to the development of safety standards and the strict adherence to guidelines for jumping. (Wisegeek)

So I would tell you in my next blog how is the feeling of developing this kind of sport.

I also research about an Australian BASE jumping course in USA 2011, this curse was held at the end of May in USA. USA provides a perfect, legal environment that can introduce the students In the sport of the BASE jumping.

The first week the curse was at Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls, Idaho. The weather was ideal for the most part; at the end of the week, all of the students had progress to stowed jumps and even floaters. Several students got in excess of 25 jumps for the week. The following week was spent in Moab, Utah. This region has an abundant of legal cliffs and provides a good practice in the BASE jumping practice. Here the students can practice several times their jumps, they also have a regular theory sessions included.

Including instructors and assistants, the course has around a total of 560 jumps for the 2 weeks, each student average around 40 jumps daily and only the best 3 make around 50 jumps daily.

So after this blog I hope that you think about practicing this sport that I actually love to do it.

WINGSUIT

Hello guys! I hope you are doing great, we finish this first partial maybe not so well in some subjects, like Spanish for me, but we are going for the hundred next partial! 2 weeks I go I mentioned the Wingsuit that the BASE jumper used to practice this sport. But now, let me explain you better what is the Wingsuit.

First, watch the video that I put in my last post. Now, what exactly is Wingsuit in BASE jumping? This special suit let the people that jump from cliffs, airplanes or towers to let them slow down and control the fall. Sometimes some jumpers start by skiing and throw away the ski while the air. Then they are flying with the jumpsuit of certain amount of time, which depends on the high of the jump. “The Wingsuit slow down the fall about 30m per second and lets you move 20% more horizontally than you would without it”(Safeskydiving).

I always tell you in my post that you need to take your precautions if you are going to practice BASE jumping, and the Wingsuit is a way to reduce the risk. It reduced it because of the better horizontal movement it allow you to do.  However, the advantage of the Wingsuit can turn against you; the low fall can change your perception of the attitude and distance of the objects and can cause accidents.

But we also know that with this extra safety that the Wingsuit gives you, doing these things of jumps are more dangerous. So come on try BASE jumping but remember to be always safety

LET’S GO, WHEREVER YOU JUMP; TAKE ONLY PICTURES, LEAVE ONLY FOOTRPINTS!
