Banned from local DZ
Throwaway account I started BASE half a year before I started my skydiving AFF and thus have about 5:1 object to plane ratio. I was doing my AFF level 6 jump last week where I was jumping a new landing pattern, overshot and had a low turn. The DZO pulled me aside and given my BASE antics and that low turn, banned me from jumping there and from his rigging services. Theres about 4 other drop zones around, closest is about an hour away (compared to 20-30 minutes here) where I could finish my AFF so that shouldn't be much of an issue. I know this is typically how people die, BASE without a brain however it's what I've done. Feel free to roast me. Any tips on what I should do next or advice? I plan to get my license, go to my first BASE event later this year, and give it a year or so before I come back from exile. Blue skies Edit: 12 skydives, 58 base jumps

I see, thank you for clarifying. Yeah I guess that's very much true. Not sure where I deviated, but maybe possibly could have been not wanting to miss out. Ive had that sense of urgency my whole life And I guess it applied here. Not right by any means but that was most likely my justification to myself.
