I've been wanting to travel to this area for more than half my life. The stunning tropics. Warm humid air. Big cities. Rural farmlands. Monkeys. Palm trees. Ten flights. It is to be my biggest adventure yet. And I get to do it with friends.First stop is Borneo. I arrive after a full day of travel. 6 of us split a cab to the lovely Wisma Sanyan building. I'm delirious by this point. I feel like I lost an entire day, but we push on.

This is the only bridge in the US that it is legal to jump off at any time. It stands at 480 feet and is one of the most popular BASE jumping spots around. Jumpers come from all over the world to make their first jumps, learn new tricks and dial in aerials. Bridges are arguably the safest objects. Unlike cliffs, antennas and buildings, an off-heading opening (having your parachute open any direction other than forwards) doesn't require instant action to... ]]> Mon, 27 Aug 2012 08:25:00 -0400 13402 2012-08-27 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_gopr0646-1346055932.JPG http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13298-the-desert-is-hot-jill-kuzman http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13298-the-desert-is-hot-jill-kuzman The temperatures in Moab soar to over 105 degrees in the summer. Its brutal out there, but the ripping spring winds have calmed and I can't spend a nice day not jumping. Being a bartender, I work nights, so early morning jumps are a rarity for me. I've been hunting down the exit points with shorter hikes or shady hikes to try and avoid heat stroke and such. Ha.Over the last year, I've fallen in love with the low stuff. By low stuff, about 200 feet or less. One of my favorite low jumps is Looking Glass Arch, just... ]]> Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:26:00 -0400 13298 2012-07-25 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-9710-1343233590.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-9715-1343233590.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-9727-1343233591.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-9833-1343233592.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-9847-1343233592.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13037-another-day-in-paradise-jill-kuzman http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13037-another-day-in-paradise-jill-kuzman This is how I spent the last year of my life.

The annual Turkey Boogie is in full swing in Moab, UT! A day out at Mineral Bottom Canyon is full of super packed truck rides up the switchbacks, cliffs as far as the eye can see and tons of friends around to play! Nothing like some unpacked jumps for saving time and maximizing jump numbers!! Happy Thanksgiving!! ]]> Fri, 02 Dec 2011 23:44:00 -0500 12386 2011-12-02 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/12386_jill1_1322871683.jpg
