Close Cliffs. Tall Trees. Long Lines.
Wingsuit proximity flying at it's best. Some women never wear the same outfit twice. Matt Gerdes -- author of The Great Book of BASE -- never jumps the same cliff twice (so far this season). Matt and his friends hike in the mountains, toss rocks, and fly long lines around cliffs and through tall trees. Check out "40 seconds of tickle" -- more proxy flying goodness from Matt: http://bit.ly/oLeVAY Watch Video »

Tigern Odd-Martin Helgestad (aka “Tiger”) is no stranger to skimming treetops in wingsuits. This is a compilation of his BASE jumping, wingsuit proximity flying and cow-riding from the 2011 season in Norway. I’ll have to keep cow-riding in mind next time we’re on a weather hold. Watch Video »
Husband + Wife BASE Jumping Duo
Husband and wife duo, Sparky and Rima, BASE jumping from Kjerag in Norway. At it’s highest point of 3,600+ feet (1,110 meters) AGL, this is pretty much a skydiving hop and pop — minus the plane, altimeter, reserve and AAD. Photo by Anders Lau Nielsen. View Photo »

In Memory of Arne Aarset. Fly Free.
Midgetbase recently lost one of their brothers: Arne Aarset. He died doing what he loved most — wingsuit proximity flying — not to defy death, but to celebrate life on the edge (and what a view he had). R.I.P. Arne. You now have the best wings any soul can have. Fly free brother. Watch Video »

Earlier this week I posted a video of a BASE jump off the Perrine Bridge, as well as a BASE jumping photo of Marshall Miller’s “scared face.” So it only seemed natural to combine the two: Marshall Miller + Perrine Bridge. Here’s Marshall doing a paraglider rollover at Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls, Idaho. Watch Video »

Extreme Sports Week: Wingsuit Proximity Flying by ...
Jokke Sommer and Tom Erik Heimen scout out a new line in Gudvangen, Norway during Extreme Sports Week 2011 — an annual festival more commonly known as “Ekstremsportveko” or “Veko” by the locals. This type of BASE jumping really should be called “wingsuit landscaping” instead of wingsuit proximity flying because I’m pretty sure Jokke clipped... Watch Video »
