...That being said, anyone and everyone is welcome to join my team. All you need to do is practice with us a few times. There are a few prerequisite rappels first before you go to Bridge Day. Those are 300 and 600 ft. Then you do some weighted rappels to simulate what 800 ft of rope feels like. Our required practices will be in the summer in Alabama, North Carolina, and Maryland. Some but not all of the practices are mandatory. ...




let me know when in the summer.

There is a team fee of at least $500.



You could always just go on a different day. Then its free.

I wouldn't recommend trying to rappel or BASE jump there any other day. It's pretty well locked down from what I understand. Just think about how you'd have to derig or loose your expensive rope, escape via water, etc.

On Bridge Day, they do a background check when you register, there are bomb sniffing dogs, and snipers in the forest. I personally saw one. It's considered a terrorist target, and it was closed down for a while after 9/11.

But, if you wanna do it legally, there is some info here:
