I had the pleasure to take the FiveTen adventure mobile on the road for a few weeks on a massive BASE jumping safari through the western United States. Starting in Seattle, fellow BASE jumper and badass Braden Dean and I moved into our temporary home (a sick Mercedes Sprinter vans all FiveTen'ed up) and started driving down the coast. First stop, Lodi California for some skydiving. Skydiving is a crucial part of BASE jumping and is a really great opportunity to get current and practice wingsuit flying. The dropzone in Lodi is... ]]> Thu, 16 May 2013 19:05:00 -0400 14081 2013-05-16 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-0698-1368731113.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_screen-shot-2013-05-08-at-7-39-12-pm-1368731114.png http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-0707-1368731115.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_screen-shot-2013-05-08-at-7-29-15-pm-1368731116.png http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-0713-1368731117.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_screen-shot-2013-05-08-at-7-44-23-pm-1368731118.png http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13996-five-ten-airborne-drops-from-balloon-jt-holmes http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13996-five-ten-airborne-drops-from-balloon-jt-holmes JT Holmes and Timy Dutton drove out to Utah to meet up with Jesse Hall, Suz Graham, Neil Amonson and Marshal Miller in order to jump, jump and do some more jumping.  This trip highlight was a creative and spontaneous balloon jump above Tooele Valley.  It is ver fun what can happen with some extra altitude! The Chase shoe from Five Ten provided nice grip on the railing of the balloon basket.   ]]> Wed, 03 Apr 2013 21:51:00 -0400 13996 2013-04-03 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13996_ballon-1365092114.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13651-jt-holmes-tim-dutton-and-espen-fadnes-rage-early-season-squaw http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13651-jt-holmes-tim-dutton-and-espen-fadnes-rage-early-season-squaw Shot entirely on GoPro with early access to Squaw Valley, JT, Tim and Espen skydive to Squaw's upper mountain slopes, have some good clean fun.. and then of course, take the cable car down... but not all the way down! ]]> Tue, 27 Nov 2012 09:30:00 -0500 13651 2012-11-27 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13651_jt-1-1354122852.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13534-china-aizhai-bridge-base-jumping-festival-suz-graham http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13534-china-aizhai-bridge-base-jumping-festival-suz-graham I have never been to China before- had a tease last year when a similar event was planned and I was invited, but then was cancelled last minute. So this time, when I started getting a string of emails with official invitations from the Hunan Government I was hopeful it would actually happen this time. With things ‘like this,’ you never really know- my world is filled with lots of really great ideas, fantastical assurances about lifetime trips and reality tv series’ so you have to take everything with a grain of salt. However, once in a while it... ]]> Fri, 12 Oct 2012 06:18:00 -0400 13534 2012-10-12 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_Screen Shot 2012-10-11 at 10.54.35-pm-1350022684.png http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_Screen Shot 2012-10-11 at 10.51.24-pm-1350022685.png http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_Screen Shot 2012-09-20 at 3.46.05-pm-1350022685.png http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13416-balloons-and-helicopters-and-wingsuits-oh-my-suz-graham http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13416-balloons-and-helicopters-and-wingsuits-oh-my-suz-graham One very early, very chilly desert morning- actually, this was the second consecutive morning we tried this, so a 3:30 AM wake up call x2- some friends and I found ourselves in the middle of the flat, dusty, desert watching the moon and the stars disappear and the sun gradually start to shed it's light over the golden landscape. A little windy considering most balloons won't leave the ground if there is the slightest breath of wind- but our balloon pilot is a cowboy and was determined to get us off the ground. Hence the scary part.

Bottom line: Open road. Great people. Mountain Biking, Kayaking, Skydiving, and partying. How could I say no?! Sign me up. Such a killer trip and amazing experience.

The trip was a whirlwind, with the emphasis on wind... definitely challenging as it seemed like everything was working against us, we literally had to sit around for days and days, waking up early, staging, just to watch the wind blow. We tried everything we could, different locations, different plans, but it was just too windy for us to safely jump, paraglide, speedfly, anything.
