I really want to base jump but obviously I need to skydive first to learn a little. I live in Texas about an hour from Dallas. How much money do I need to start and what are some places I need to go to to where I can skydive? What's a good website for base jumping/skydiving for beginners? Also, what equipment do I need to buy and what brands? Plz don't answer if you've never skydived.

Mate,
I’ve been skydiving for 17 years, so I guess I can be called qualified to answer your questions!
Check out this link – - it shows you all the dropzones in Texas. I’m from the UK, so I have no idea which ones are near to you!!!
The site dropzone.com is without question the best site for skydiving out there – it’ll have all the answers you’ll ever want there somewhere!
With regards to equipment, that’s not really a question that can be answered on here – how tall are you? how much do you weigh? etc. etc. etc. all need to be taken into account.
The type of course you’ll want to do is AFF (Accelerated Free Fall) and the cost will vary from dropzone to dropzone, so check them out from that link above.
Anyway, blue skies to you!!!
