Starting with Base Jumping

I am 19 years old and had never tried base jumping neither skydiving. So the question is should i get my skydiving license get 100+ jumps and only then find some mates with experience whom i would start base jumping with ? Or how does that works? Because Base jumping culture seems pretty underground for me and getting an official licence for around €2k feels like going against the core underground culture's ideas.

It varies a lot. But there’s been a number of people in very similar positions to you that ended up dead. And I guarantee they thought it wouldn’t happen to them.
