I was feeling a little nostalgic so I thought I put up a video of me doing some of my most favorite Base jumps from around the world.
Enjoy 
Base Jumping |

Quoted:
After a thousand skydives, I just wanted to try some different aspects of parachuting. Don't get me wrong, skydiving's great but once you step off of the roof of a 300' building, airplanes sorta lose their thrill  Winner of Arfcom's BAMF award for the month. |
I never had a hero but you might just be it.. freeking sick

Those were awesome.
That one under the bridge and through the support beams was sketchy dude.....bigger nuts than me. My first jump. BASE VID |
|
Quoted: I think I saw the clip you're talking about. The guy jumped off a dam, the wind blew him back into it and he ended up hitting the ground hard.I thought it was going to be the video where the chute didn't work and the guy was spitting out blood and making death moans. |

BASE VID Hey MovinMan, nice video also. it doesn't matter how many times ya do it, videos like that still get my heart pumping. Gotta love the "Sorcerer" rig. Those things sure are hard to close lol. |
How many of those were legal jumps? 
I'd love to try this some time. Honestly, I think we should build bungiee/base jump platforms on a lot of these spans/bridges to help pay for them and their upkeep. Imagine a legal jump station on the Golden Gate. Bungiee from one side, BASE jump from the other. I bet they could cut fees to drivers 50% if not eliminate the toll booths altogether and free up traffic to just drive on over. Keep safe. Quoted:

Very nice video's.....
I too use to jump a good bit when I was younger. 2 kids later and the rig sits in my closet. Hoping to get back in the air. Anytime you roll out to Leeds let me know. Maybe we could do some shootin together. ETA- Post 556. Very nice. Jumping and guns. My 2 favorite things.

Cool video.
I knew a guy that I went to high school with that jumped off the World Trade Center back in the day. His name is John Vincent. I didn't believe him when he told me about it shortly after he did it, but then he went out to his Jeep and brought in the VHS tape to prove it.
I've jumped out of planes a few times, but no base jumping for me. I'm too chicken...bawk bawk.

I might like to try that some day but not anytime soon. I've got some things I'd like to do with my life before taking risks like that.
