Hege Ringard is one badass chick. Remember her bikini BASE jump and setting the new women’s BASE world record? Yeah, she’s that badass! Here’s another vid from Hege with fun tunes and fun times.

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.

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.

One Chance. One Life to Live. Live Well!

Shannon Seyb — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 12:50:27 +0000

“We can go to where nobody flies.” That’s the line in the song that I heard watching Brandon Chance and his friends BASE jumping in some of the most stunning landscapes in the world. Greece, Switzerland, Norway and Kuala Lumpur — a kaleidoscope of crystal clear waters, endless mountains and magnificence in every direction. More beauty than your eyes can handle.

Friday Freakout: BASE Low Pull, Seconds From Impact

Andrew — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 12:50:41 +0000

It’s hard to tell from this angle just how close this BASE jumper was from pounding in, but it looks like he was seconds away from impact. He’s lucky he didn’t fumble his PC, like this guy.

Well it was bound to happen… Santa Claus has finally traded in his outdated sleigh and reindeer for a slick new BASE rig — although it’s not as practical for delivering gifts.

Insane Freefly-BASE: Soul Flyers Hit Norway

Andrew — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 12:50:01 +0000

Three-time freefly world champions Vince Reffet and Fred Fugen don’t drop new videos every day, so naturally I get a little excited to see new footage of them doing some very technical flying next to big cliffs. The Red Bull Soul Flyers have a new video project, featuring more incredible freefly-BASE and impressive tracking in Norway. Tell me you don’t have a half chub right now.

“It makes you understand how valuable your life is.” This short doc follows the journey of two newcomers to BASE who went to Romsdal in Norway to interview Tigern “Tiger” Helgestad and other incredibly talented jumpers. This is their portrayal of some of the most amazing sights of their lives, and the relentless beauty and freedom they witnessed in BASE jumping.

The Flying Monkeys: Walking On Air, Bitches!

Shannon Seyb — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 12:43:23 +0000

Monkeys can fly? Really? I call fake. Oh, wait I get it… it’s another badass tunnel video coming out of Voss. This is Rune and Kenny rippin’ it up in their “office”. And most of the ape family is probably über jealous of their mad skillz. Swinging from trees was so yesterday — we’re walking on air now, bitches!

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?

Damn, that’s a lot of BASE jumpers in one spot. Norway’s famous Heliboogie is back for the 2012 season with more incredible views from more incredible flyers. And is that Varial Freefly rockin’ a 4-way head down only a few feet away from the wall?? WOW. Speaking of which, check out the Soul Flyers’ pulling off some freefly-BASE.

80 Jumps Later…

Andrew — Mon, 11 Jun 2012 11:50:00 +0000

I feel compelled to buy a pole for my GoPro, then jump off cliffs and antennas after watching this video. Trond Bjelde shares a collection of clips as he makes his way towards his first 100 BASE jumps. Looks like he had an awesome year, and many more jumps to come.

The Wingsuit Matrix: Flying In Wonderland

Andrew — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:00:32 +0000

At last, more wingsuit proximity flying from Tigern “Tiger” Helgestad. Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain. But you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life. That there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there. Like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. Now, the question is: do you take the red pill or the blue pill?

Voss Show Reel… Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.

Melanie Curtis — Tue, 22 May 2012 11:50:56 +0000

HOLY… SHIT. Damn, I don’t even know where to begin. Freakin’ downright not-fucking-around amazing footage. I mean, a snowmobiler does a flip over a swooping parachute. And that’s after killer paraglider and swoop demo footage, on top of swooping the mountains, and jumping over snow-capped everything. This is a must watch! These Scandanavians do some cool shit, and got some mad talent.

T is for Tracking

T is for tracking, tracking and more tracking. Coincidentally, T is also for Trond Tiegen — the man behind this edit, as well as some amazing skydiving and BASE jumping photography like this wild wingsuit flight by Jokke Sommer, this golden sunset shot, and a successful swoop and chug. Nice work Trond!

Highlights from one of the best wingsuit flyers in the world, Jokke Sommer, and his amazing proximity flying lines in South Africa, China and Norway during the 2011 season. With sponsorship from Red Bull and GoPro, it’s safe to say Jokke’s living the dream and flying lines that most of us would only dream of. Cheers to another great year and more success buddy!

Just another day at the office for Jokke Sommer and Halvor Angvik as they chase their shadows down some new slopes in the Norwegian mountains. Wingsuit proximity flying at its best, with a gorgeous view to boot.

Skywalkers Freefly Camp

Andrew — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 12:50:04 +0000

I found some footage from the Skywalkers’ 2007 freefly training camp in Tønsberg, Norway. Since then, the Skywalkers have upped their game over the past few years, as evidenced by this recent tunnel session — the best 3 minutes so far.
