List of Legal BASE Sites?

[guest]

Is there (on the web or on paper) a list of legal BASE sites, maybe with details of access, permits, special rules, etc?

Or are there so few of them (NRG Bridge Day, Kjerag, Angel Falls, er, er ....) that it'd be a very short list.

Thanks.

If you are a real BASE jumper, ask your friends. Many of the sites are legal because no one knows they're being jumped and no laws have been made yet. Many others are legal because it has not become an "issue" because of hundreds of "beginners" going in left and right. Let's keep it that way and not start posting the locations. That would not be a good idea. Just ask your fellow jumpers.

The Fox speaks wisely.

Just this last weekend, 7 friends and I made over 100 BASE jumps from a "legal" site. Sure, I would love to post and talk about what a wonderful experience it was.

But! If I did that, truckloads of beginners would run out to the site and incidents would result. Laws and prohibitions would follow.

I'm not trying to be "cliqish" and keep people out of the sport. But under the current system, a person wanting to get into the sport must spend a good deal of time learning about the many intricacies of modern-day BASE so they don't burn sites left and right.

Now take a look at a well-thought out licensing system. Legal sites could be had and a person could follow the system, learning the skills necessary for the jump. Can you see a pattern emerging here...

BASE will always be dangerous and accidents will happen - but to earn credibility with the U.S.'s closed-minded society, a system must exist.
