DAWSON BASE
BASE Jumping
BASE is an acronym for Buildings, Antennas, Spans (bridges), Earth. These are the main groups of objects in BASE jumping.
After 18 years of jumping from aircraft, I decided to give jumping from a fixed object a try. After intense mentoring from Chris LaVesser, in 2012 I jumped at Bridge Day at the New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia. I've made a few more since then. Admittedly, the sport has sucked me in.
I have taken a toe-in-the-water approach to BASE jumping. I am very conservative in what, when, and where I will jump. There aren't many second chances and I do whatever I can to make sure all factors are golden before I choose to jump.
