Q: What is basejumping?
A: Basejumping is the art of jumping off the base of a large, unstable structure, like a building or a giant pile of boxes. It's like parkour, but with more splinters.
Q: Why do I want to do this?
A: Why not? It's a great way to test your reflexes and see just how far you can jump. Plus, you get to enjoy the rush of landing on your backside.
Q: Is it safe?
A: Safe-ish. Just wear some padding and a good pair of boots, and you'll be fine. Don't say we didn't warn you.
Q: Can I basejump in public?
A: No, no, no. That's just asking for trouble. Stick to private property or a designated basejumping arena. Don't make us have to come find you.
Q: How do I get better at basejumping?
A: Practice, baby! Find yourself a nice, tall building or a large, unsteady stack of boxes. Just don't practice on the neighbor's trampoline, that's just rude.
