Optimize your jumps to get more chicks - A basejump safety talk by David Laffargue

I got the opportunity to give a talk at the Free Base Weekend organized by Phoenix Fly.
As I had 30 minutes to talk about something meaningful, I decided to dedicate my speaking time to the one and only topic that matters: how to optimize your jumps to get more chicks!
The idea is simple: since basejumping won't make you more attractive, the only way to get more girls is to be safe so you can increase your life expectancy... that longer life span should give you the opportunity to meet more girls!
Basejumping is an amazing sport, but unfortunately the research of performance can make it dangerous.
Please remember that safety is the only thing that matters: if we start promoting safety rather than performance, we will live longer and not only get more chicks, but also enjoy all the beautiful things that life has to offer: love, friendship, family, travels and french cheese!
A big thanks to baselifepodcast.podbean.com/ for providing decent audio!

It's obviously far from Ted Talk quality as I don't have a public speaking experience behind me, and the stress was making me stutter and forget many things, but I think everyone gets my point anyway. Speaking in front of people scared me more than a jumping off a cliff: it was a really rewarding experience, and if it can save at least one person, then it was totally worth it!

Just like how I sit in a simulator twice a year... I watch this video once a year. It's a good safety reminder

That's a shame as I'm going to be jumping either way and would rather not become a statistic on the group I can't see due to not being invited to the party! Thanks flight risk, I appreciate the info

@@jbertucci40 Sorry buddy, the administrators of the group want it exclusively for jumpers as we can't take the risk of outsiders sharing the videos with media. No need to fill up your head with scary footage at the beginning anyway: choose or a good mentor or course and start from there. Once your out of the course you'll be added to the group and can enjoy the carnage ^^

If you survived 2000 jumps you probably didn’t need the video anyway!

Just would not have worked so hard for the chicks. Seriously though, I think your videos are great and your attention to safety and the mental component is spot on. Great to see guys like you sharing your wisdom to such a broad audience. We did not have YT in my day so we learned what we could from those that would share and figured out the rest as we went. As the saying goes...there are old jumpers and bold jumpers but no a lot of old bold jumpers. Cheers!
