Friday Freakout: Low Hook Turn. Bad Idea.

Andrew — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 12:15:48 +0000

Don’t try this at home. Initiating a hook turn 100 feet lower than normal will get you a broken femur, a nice piece of titanium and a few screws in your leg. And if you do attempt to pull off a stunt like this, you may consider trying it at the end of the summer… not the beginning. For those of you looking for some swooping advice, Hitler had mad swooping skillz. Who knew?

BASE Jump + Low Opening = Tree Swing

Andrew — Mon, 23 May 2011 12:31:29 +0000

Have you ever wanted your very own tree swing? Just go BASE jumping with a wingsuit and pull low like this crazy Russian. So I got the “no good, no good” part, but can anyone translate what he says?

Paraglider Cutaway With BASE Rig

This adds new meaning to “ParaBASE.” Instead of jumping from a tandem paraglider, Benjamin Zenhäusern thought he’d have a little fun by cutting away his own paraglider while wearing a BASE rig. As if that weren’t fun enough, Ben adds a long delay too!

Distracted BASE Jumper Pulls Low

Andrew — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 13:22:03 +0000

This jump might not outdo this other crazy low pull, but it’s still too close for comfort. According to this BASE jumper, he unintentionally pulled low because he got distracted by his own shadow on the ground. As a result, he panicked when reaching for his pilot chute once he realized he was too low. Lesson learned: when you see your own shadow, it’s time to pull! Pay attention and be safe. How low would you say he was once his canopy was fully open?

Crazy Low Pull on Balloon Jump

Andrew — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 15:51:08 +0000

Now THIS is ground rush! Watch this nutter with a BASE rig jump from a balloon and pull very, very low. He’s wearing a BASE rig, but jumping from a balloon… so let the debate begin: is this considered a skydive or BASE jump?

This BASE jumper catches a bit of fresh air on this short, but sweet winter BASE jump. Fortunately he’s not in freefall long enough to get cold.
