Some BASE jumping lunacy

So let us know when you're making your first jump.

Crazy people are good entertainment.

I really don't think they are crazy, at least unhinged crazy. Everything I see from multiple videos is well planned, well executed. The one turn left, around the rock and into the valley is the most radical maneuver, and it is no more than 15 AOB.



Falling with style.



Cameras are integrated, the air looks perfect (little turbulence, good air), the wing (suit) loading and stability is rock steady...I just have to hand it to these folks.

Wow, spectacular. I can't even fathom what that would feel like. I suspect that takes normal sky diving and turns it up a notch or twelve. Granted, the experience is probably made much, much more exciting if you have that sort of terrain to work with. Trying it in Florida or here in Houston wouldn't translate as well.

This guy takes it one step further - he adds a couple of small jet engines



And another (won't let me embed) - this one can climb

When I tried skydiving I never got the thrill I was looking for. The thrill of speeding thru the air. This I think would do that. Man that looks like a blast. When they flew by the overlook with the folks there, that would have something to see go by.
