BASE jumping is about as far from a team sport as you can get. At the end of the jump we are all responsible for ourselves....

that said, it sure is a lot of fun to jump off things together!

I am not very experienced doing multi person jumps in my new suit, so jakob smoked me off the exit ;D I still have lots of training to do if I want to be able to fly as fast as him while still keeping a decent glide ratio! you can see that he gets a much better start and zooms off leaving me in the dust!

flying with another person is a great reference point and I learned a lot on this jump of how to get myself flying sooner by jumping slightly less steep, but keeping myself there and not flattening out too early.

just taking my time and dialing in the new suit and having a BLAST along the way, we say in BASE jumping "you have the rest of your life to figure it out" and I hope by progressing conservatively I have a lot of life left to progress!

Ah a onesie, very nice :-)

I jump an Airglide mono and love it SO much, great price, SUPER FAST turn from order to delivery (3weeks) and flies way better in my opinion than the onsie, it's closer to a onsie power. The suit in the pictures is the triple X by rgbase aka antoine Laporte also an amazing suit, in-between a mono and onsie in size but SUPER efficient
