BASE Jump Tutorials with Sean Chuma: 1. How to do a TARD

I-D BASE presents the first in a series of Base Jump tutorial videos to help jumpers execute skills properly. It's always best to get live training from an experienced mentor/ instructor, however, these videos can help you improve your skills and safety. In this video Sean teaches you some important things about doing an unpacked jump known as a TARD (Totally Awesome Rapid Deployment). To learn how to get training from Sean Chuma visit seanchuma.com
* THIS AND ALL BASE JUMP TUTORIAL VIDEOS ARE FOR PEOPLE THAT ALREADY KNOW HOW TO BASE JUMP. THESE VIDEOS SHOULD NOT BE USED UNLESS YOU ARE AN EXPERIENCED JUMPER. TO LEARN TO BASE JUMP YOU SHOULD HAVE OVER 200 SKYDIVES FIRST. AFTER YOU HAVE DONE 200 SKYDIVES THEN YOU MIGHT BE READY TO TAKE ON THE HIGH RISK SPORT OF BASE JUMPING. IF YOU ARE NOT A BASE JUMPER DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TRYING BASE WITHOUT THE PROPER TRAINING OTHERWISE YOU COULD SEVERELY INJURE OR KILL YOURSELF.

[@SalvadorChangg]

Bro... What did you call me? All jokes aside this was a very informative video with great production value, Thanks for the drop.

[@dwightbernheimer331]

Interesting. Paragliders can do the same thing with mini wings and speed wings except getting the canopy ready is not quite as complicated. Good stuff thanks for posting

[@seanchumafly]

There are other safety measures that we have learned, that can help, so we do them. Its been a long process of doing them over many years. Realistically you could just throw the thing out there with no prep, but it is risky, because it seems more likely to malfunction if everything is not in order.

[@brandonleeps]

This is awesome

[@SeanChuma]

Brandon Lee thanks. More to come after the pandemic.

[@brandonleeps]

Sean Chuma Hell yeah

[@akmaljamalhassan]

[@shaunyb9491]

Love the video Sean. Got 24 BASE jumps and want to get a TARD in soon

[@SeanChuma]

Cool Shauny, just be sure to pick a safe spot like the bridge. No solid objects.

[@purrbunny]

A static line tutorial would be freakin sweet, especially at the perrine. I dont know how to safely rig a static line while getting over such a tall railing

[@SeanChuma]

ThNks I was thinking of doing that but it is very opinionated territory.

[@atmodude]

Great video! Thanks for it. What's your opinion to stow the lines in the tailpocket instead of in your hand?thanks 🎄

[@SeanChuma]

Yeah some people do that. It’s called a smart tard. I don’t see a problem with it.

[@RandomWorx]

Chuma! Your videos rule! I especially enjoyed the packing video. Can you do a video tutorial on static line jumps?

[@osvaldodiazfreeride7029]

Can u show the sistem of roll over unpacked jump? 👌Thanks

[@SeanChuma]

That is on the list

[@seanchumafly]
