I just watched it 1 year from when i started base jumping and i can tell you its still great video for jumpers and non jumpers to watch, little thing i would say you forgot to say is that most skydiving canopies are 9 cell but they are also 7 cell ones like winx :)
Thanks man! Stay safe out there🙏🏼
Man I just found your channel today and have been binging, this is exactly what I've been looking for as someone who's getting ready to get into BASE. I've met the requirements to enroll in a FJC, read the great book of base, and been browsing the minimal amount of online discussion forums I could find, but this content is exactly what I've been looking for (not just this video). Kind of 'here's what you can expect when you start' is great.
Hell yeah, happy I can help. I think it’s also good to feel reassurance that you’re not an outlier for feeling any certain way upon entering the community.
Thank you i learned so much your editing is amazing and your a very reliable base/skydiving youtuber
Thanks Piss Panda, happy you enjoyed dude
Just binged watched your channel and got to say the quality content you bringing in your well edited videos are great. Really enjoy the journey and storytelling approach mixing tech details, gear, conditions, thought process, risk evaluation, examples, emotion, feelings and final results. Like in the antenna video with the state of mind part. This is great knowledge sharing and quality content I know many will appreciate a lot when looking for useful insight into base jumping. Would love to watch more follow along videos on planning jumps. Looking forward to your next video.
Really appreciate that man. I hope I can keep that sort of transparency towards the way I’m thinking about things, whether good or bad, if it’s useful, honest and passes as entertaining I’m happy. That’s a great idea on a follow along jump. I had thoughts about breaking down the first 1,000ft jump I did with some friends, and how I approached thinking about it (measuring the object from satellite images, calculating static exit to track, glide ratio slick, lateral separation, etc.) is this sorta what you were thinking? Or moreso a simple follow along, no talking, only the experience itself in its rawest form?
Thanks for the feedback man! Appreciate your time.
@@DevMcLaughlin Why not do both? One creative stunning visuals serie and one more educational while the viewer follow the storyline and the message you want to get thru. There are so many none talking raw jump videos, but few video analyzes explaning the process of the jump on the tube. Personally I feel like I get a lot from light edited raw videos with voice overs, telling a little about the plan and goal of the jump, what gear in use, how pack job is done for this spesific jump if its slider up or down, pc size, the conditions, what to think of, risk analys, landing area etc. You know basicly the thought process and after thoughts of what we see and how it was executed wether it is from 1000 or 200ft. As an example I can mention Tucker Gott and how he goes into details when something doesnt go as planned out paragliding or just his summary after a base jump talking about how his body position felt etc etc. Or just pretty much like the first jump cource video you made. I thought you articulated details very well in your videos. And dont be afraid to throw some more details in there if you looking to build long term revisiting viewers. I thought your videos was a breath of fresh air and was left with a feel that actually learned something after watching insted of the high pace over edited redbull videos out there that seems to favour the algorithm these days. Quality content is getting harder to find so I be sticking around as an quality controller hahaha :) I hope you upload more frequent in near future. Have a great summer :)
Appreciate all of the insight man, truly. I feel the same way. So many beautiful videos that you can easily be moved by, but sometimes some of us want to see behind the curtain, which I’m really hoping to strive for, and maintain. I welcome any more recommendations and critiques. Definitely let me know when I’m straying off, I surely need the critique from time to time. I’m also working to upload more frequently, my excuse recently is actually being a bit busy pushing hard getting jumps in, something I’ll definitely document in the next video. Appreciate it dude, cheers!
Well done, Thank you
Thank you for taking time out of your day to not only gather all of this information from both experience and literature but to share it in a clear and concise way for people to understand!
Happy to share! And stoked you enjoyed. Lemme know if you have any material or insight you’d like to see and I’d love to work it into a video at some point🤟🏼
I agree. I never got hurt in 780+ skydives and broke my leg on the first BASE.
This just came up on my feed. I've been BASE jumping nearly 15 years and opened an object yesterday solo with no GC, even by phone.
When I'm teaching or with newer guys, I have minimal fear as I assume the role of the teacher. But yesterday I did a double climb over the rail as I realised I was rushing and hadn't done any visualisation, my heart was racing and I was just not in the right head space.
BASE is majority mental in my opinion. When you're calm you enter that flow state and perform. It wasn't a great jump performance wise yesterday, but it was good to feel that again.
Edit: I just realised you're the same guy who I made a comment about in regards to toggles and speed to them. I'm far less worried now I see your analytical mind. I do sense that people are jumping smaller BASE canopies these days though, I'm 140lbs naked and jump a 220. I always heard a WL of 0.7, and I've come to agree over the years.
That’s really interesting, I can see how knowing that no one will know something has gone wrong (in the event of) will really change things in the back of your mind, it seems even having that safety crutch of ‘having someone in the know’ can be just as important for existing mental relief as it could be for emergency physical relief if something were to go wrong. I’m definitely going to keep that noted. Also very interesting considering the way a jump is framed to your mind; solo participant vs teacher, can give the busy kind something to focus on, and change the way the mind responds to stressors. Happy to hear you’re back at it man.
I think I’m quickly categorizing, like you said, the numerous things that can quickly add up to conscious mental weight to any given jump. After reading on and listening to a number of incidents time and time again, it seems there are consistently a number of internal and external stressors that eventually lead to a serious incident. As pseudo as this may sound, I think enough a pattern exists to know how easily your mental state projects into your physical state. And BASE has made that abundantly clear to me personally.
Appreciate you saying that man, but I like most can probably use a reality check in this sport as often as I can get it.
That is about the same wing loading I was taught as well. I hear the “your body weight plus 100 is the square foot you should be jumping” tossed around quite a bit these days. As far as I can tell 0.65-0.75 seems to be a good area. Many jumpers gasp at the fact that I’m jumping a 210, until they hear I weigh 130 and jump a 210, sitting at a 0.62 wing loading.
Appreciate the insight man, I’d love to talk more about all you’ve seen over the years and anything else you could share with a new jumper like myself.
@Devon McLaughlin I think when you are the most experienced or skilled on the load (experience isn't always skill. I know that personally) you adopt the responsibility.
We teach best what we most need to learn. Not sure who said that, but it rings true for me. I think it was Richard Bach. So when the weight on responsibility hits, for me personally, it's time to step up and I perform at my best.
Enjoy the ride bro.
As an experienced BASE jumper, you addressed the topic well. Nice work 👍
Thanks man, definitely don’t hesitate to stop me where I mislead. It’s very easy to muddy the water with two very complex topics when trying to condense the information down.
u linked me this on reddit, one of the most informative vids on youtube wish there were more people that did videos like this
Glad it can help man. I always wished there were too, which drove me to make this in the first place.
Wow! It’s a heck of a lot more technical than I thought it was. Very interesting.
It really is, glad you enjoyed🤟🏼
Your BASE videos are very entertaining and informative
Hey I appreciate that very much, glad you enjoyed. Let me know if there’s ever anything you’d like to see and I’ll definitely get around to it!
'Deceleration Specialist' would go well on a resume.
High quality content! Thanks dude
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed🤟🏼
Super thorough video, nice job!
I would highly caution against tying the risers together with a pull up cord while packing though.
I know it sounds like a minor thing, but at some point you will forget to take it off. I've seen multiple peoples pack jobs come out with the pull up cord still on. A good alternative is to get an extra clamp to keep the risers together, very hard to pack into the tray, and will come off easier in the event you left it there.
Definitely noted. I’ve definitely heard about a number of incidents. I still go back and fourth on worrying about it. But in keeping only a single pull up cord on me while packing, and always turning my risers outward before placing my canopy in the packing tray, it’s very unlikely I’ll be able to close my container without removing the pull up cord from my soft links. But I’m definitely going to keep this in mind more every time I pack, thanks man!
The important thing is you limit and keep track of your packing tools. Depending on how your able to weight the container, fixing your risers can certainly improve the ability to keep symmetric line tension.
Definitely. Counting the tools before and after. Packing all the way through from start to finish. Any distraction and I’m starting from the beginning and making checks all the way through back to my stopping point.
MORE VIDEO LIOKE THIS PLZ
More on the way👌🏼
Hi mate, have you ever thought about wearing motorcycle trousers which got knee pads in them and hip protectors(not leather trousers) and jacket with elbow and back protector for your base jump to minimalize potential injuries during your base jumps? Or is not good idea? As im not base jumper yet i cant try it myself :/ i was thinking about that today. By the way this is best ever video explaining differences between two sports and it was pleasure to watch :)
This actually is something I have considered! Great idea man. There are some applications where I think they could be very useful. I’ve felt the best option would be the more modern motorcycle pants that disguise as casual jeans, woven with Kevlar and removable inserts. Any sort of padding is always a good idea, problem is people can be lazy to remember their pads, some worry about not looking [cool], and motorcycle pants can easily reach into the hundreds of dollars, but I think this route eliminates the first two drawbacks traditional padding brings. You’re the first person I’ve heard mention the use of motorcycle gear in BASE beyond myself simply entertaining the idea and I think that’s super cool! Appreciate the suggestion, it’s definitely something I’ll be thinking about moving forward.
@@DevMcLaughlin thank you :) i m not base jumper yet but when i watched so many base jumping videos and compilation i was thinking about them pants with all protection from waist to shins, plus kevlar armor if someone doesnt want full jacket- just get armor over shoulders and sorted- arm protectors and kevlar gloves( if you like), i believe it would save a lot of pain, and save somebodys life :) i forgot to mention motorcycle boots that are light but they have( or are made from) goretex - breathable material& waterproof- not leather ones, the ones i got are that comfy you can literally walk hours in them and you will feel good, over ankle protection as well. Lets try make this sport safer :)
Great point man, I think the biggest drawbacks are increasing wing loading due to the increased weight, limited dexterity and mobility, and comfort from temperature fluxes. All said, there’s gotta be some balance to find there where it adds much more positives than negatives.
@@DevMcLaughlin i absolutely agree with you- when i will start base i will test it :) do you have any interest in wingsuit flying? Skydiving or base
I’ve thought about getting into WS skydiving, but trying to lock in my skills free flying first, enjoying the process. I have no plans to get into WS BASE. The odds are stacked just too heavily against you, even compared to slick BASE jumping. The BFL statistics are a sure testament to that.
Thanks 👍
Awesome information
Happy to help man🤟🏼
@@DevMcLaughlin i got some time before i can even think about BASE only on jump 38, but got a taste of the feeling from my first heli jump last Saturday at 5500ft. The stomach drop for what first 1000 ft till you catch air was the best!
A helicopter or hot air balloon jump is just about as close as you can get to a BASE jump without being tethered to anything. Love to hear it man! That sensation of freefall is not found many other places. I definitely encourage you to do a hot air balloon jump as soon as you can as well, the lack of any engine, and the quiet before the jump is something that’ll definitely get you in your head.
@@DevMcLaughlin i can only imagine how erie that would be
Am going to try base jumping first!!!🪂🪂🪂
I loved this. Everything was cool until I saw that Wings container. I still phucks with you tho. 🤗
Dude DOM is 2003, I’m poor, give me a break lol.
@@DevMcLaughlin, you're not poor. You're smart. I just have this thing about my colors so I buy new and regret it because I wanna start downsizing and progressing.
Downsizing is overrated. Show me someone swooping a 170+ and they have my respect.
This guy pronounces 700 words per second
Dude I know, when I speak it sounds like a normal video played on 2x😅
It’s a work in progress.
Pack fast. Pull low. Date your rigger's wife.
This guy knows what he’s talking about.
@@DevMcLaughlin As do you good sir.
