Bob Burnquist’s Grand Canyon Skateboard BASE Jump

Sydney Williams — Wed, 15 May 2013 11:45:46 +0000

Pro skater Bob Burnquist is badass. True story. Why hike the Grand Canyon or sit there and stare at it when you can ride your skateboard off a kicker, grind a rail, then BASE jump INTO it?! I mean, really. THIS is the way to see the glory that is the Grand Canyon.

Andrew — Wed, 01 May 2013 11:50:17 +0000

We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing! Alexander Polli, the man-child behind the unbelievable wingsuit cave flight, is at it again… only this time he’s doing a 3,000 foot rope swing BASE jump with Julien Millot. Take this playful POV ride with Polli and feel like a kid again.

What’re you gonna do on this jump… a gainer? Naw. Not this time. How about a car jump? Hmmm…

Next, check out this BASE jump from a moving truck.

BASE 3-Way CRW Stack?? Yup, That Just Happened!

Andrew — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:50:43 +0000

As if BASE jumping isn’t already an inherently dangerous sport… now let’s add some CRW (canopy relative work) for shits and giggles. Congrats to Max Bruffell, Jamie Flynn, and Maria Steinmayr for pulling this off. BASE and CRW go together like, um…. bah, I’ve got nothin’. This is new to me, and pretty crazy/awesome.

Friday Freakout: Sled BASE Jump Almost Ends In Disaster

Andrew — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:50:43 +0000

Instead of a tried and true ski-BASE exit, Dennis Ohlsen opted to ride a sled off the edge of a snowy cliff. Sure, a fun idea in theory… until your sled gets stuck on the edge, sending you off said cliff with almost no forward speed. Dennis comes incredibly close to the cliff in his first few seconds of freefall, but luckily he escapes without a scratch.

Stupid Human Tricks: Slackline BASE Jump

Andrew — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 11:50:23 +0000

Hucking a gainer off a slackline takes practice, and anyone who knows Sketchy Andy knows there’s nothing stupid about this. He’s spent more time on a slackline than he has on the ground. He also helped pave the way for people like the Skyliners, who took slacklining and BASE jumping to the next level in Norway.

Stunt Junkies: Jonathan Tagle’s 3-in-1 Stunt

Sydney Williams — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:50:48 +0000

The late Jonathan Tagle is flying high, wherever he is (RIP buddy), but his legendary stunts will stay with us forever. In this episode of Stunt Junkies, the one and only Tizzle attempts a rad 3-in-1 trifecta that goes from swooping to cutaway to BASE jump.

Friday Freakout: Tent + Rope + Duct Tape = “Wingsuit BASE Jump”

Andrew — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 12:50:51 +0000

So you want to try wingsuit BASE jumping, huh? Well here’s an idea. Find a camouflage tent, duct tape it to your wrists and ankles, tie a really long rope to your belt, then jump of a massive cliff. And don’t forget your helmet! This has to be one of the most epic attempts at human flight I’ve ever seen. Sure, we all dream about flying, but this is hilarious/ridiculous/crazy. What d’you think: win or fail?

The Craziest Dirt Bike BASE Jump Stunt EVER!!

Andrew — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 12:55:56 +0000

This might be the craziest dirt bike BASE jump stunt you’ll ever see a human being do. For all I know, this could be his daily commute to work. But I’m not sure which is crazier, the dude falling from the sky or the cameraman who can walk on water!

As Seen On The Internet: BASE Jump Cutaway From 486ft!

Andrew — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 11:50:45 +0000

Getting bored of your daily BASE jumping routine? Looking for more excitement on your sub-500ft jumps? Look no further. For the low cost of a rollover off the Perrine Bridge, followed by a cutaway, you too can shit your pants jumping off a 486ft bridge.

Friday Freakout: High Bar BASE Jump Goes Horribly Wrong

Andrew — Fri, 12 Oct 2012 11:59:13 +0000

Every time I see a BASE jump, I’m always thinking, “You know what this needs… more gymnastics. Particularly, the high bar!” It turns out Norwegian BASE jumper Richard Henriksen had the same thought and did just that. Unfortunately for him, the stunt goes horribly wrong and the high bar structure collapses at the edge of the cliff. Not only does Richard survive, but luckily he avoids being struck by the rod and chains that fall along with him. What do you think: cool concept or bad idea to begin with?

Felix Baumgartner’s Top 5 Freefall Stunts

Andrew — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 11:59:40 +0000

With a passion for expanding boundaries, professional BASE jumper and Red Bull Stratos pilot Felix Baumgartner has been living the dream for over 15 years. All the incredible jumps throughout his career have been whittled down to just 5 of the best, with a focus on his race against a plane, his BASE jump from Petronas Tower, the unprecedented wingsuit flight across the English Channel, and more incredible feats. Red Bull Stratos is Baumgartner’s current project — a mission to the edge of space where he plans to ascend 120,000 feet into the atmosphere in a helium ballon, then jump towards Earth at supersonic speeds. On a side note, I suddenly feel the need to accomplish more in life. Much more.

BASE Jump… From A Moving Truck… Off A Bridge!!

Sydney Williams — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 11:50:03 +0000

Sean Chuma and Donald Schultz thought a regular bridge BASE jump into a canyon just wasn’t cool enough. Watch as they jump off a moving semi-trailer truck. Yeah, a semi-trailer!

BASE jumping is pretty exciting, is it not? Mr. Bills are sometimes difficult to execute out of a plane, but on a BASE jump? Let’s do this. Check out this Mr. Bill BASE jump at Bridge Day. Have you ever attempted a jump like this? How did it go?

The “Hang-By-Your-Feet-Off-A-Bridge” BASE Jump

Andrew — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 11:50:22 +0000

Although accurate and descriptive, the “hang-by-your-feet-off-a-bridge” exit doesn’t quite roll off the tip of your tongue. So let’s just stick with The Idaho Toe-Grabber Gainer (TIT Double G, for short) and call it a day.

The King Of Cork Flips

Andrew — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 11:50:38 +0000

Hartman Rector is the king of cork flips, and he likes showing off new tricks. What are they called, you ask? May I present to you… the roly poly, misty 2160, lincon-rodeo, double-cork 1440, and sushi roll. Mmmmmm. Sushi.

Stadium Demos, Cool. Stadium BASE, Better.

Sydney Williams — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 11:50:05 +0000

So, if you’re into the whole PRO rating thing, you probably have “do a stadium demo” on your bucket list. But what about a stadium BASE jump? Check out Red Bull’s Cedric Dumont as he rocks the indoor BASE. Nice work, sir!

Awesome Human Catapult!

Melanie Curtis — Mon, 28 May 2012 11:50:28 +0000

Thirty-four seconds to watch this guy get hucked in the air by some big-ass rubber bands in what looks like a plastic cocoon. What goes up, must come down! Put it this way.. there’s no way I’d ever do this. Watch and let us know in the comments if you would.

Wingsuit + Car + Canyon = Insane Attempt At Human Flight

Andrew — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 12:00:09 +0000

What do you get when you use the new MINI Cooper Countryman to launch a wingsuit off a cliff into a canyon? An insane attempt at human flight! Or maybe just some clever special effects from the people at MINI/BMW. Either way, what’s the driver so excited about? All he did was drive a car.
