I've seen that before and man I got to tell you, I don't think I could have done that even in my younger days.
There is another video out there of guy's skirting the side of a mountain just feet away from the jagged edge Wild.

Actually saw a TV special yesterday on that. Being a Pilot and Paratrooper, I am very interested. Being 40 something, I think it is crazy!!!!!

I did some sky-diving a few years ago - amazing experience. Never did any base jumping though. That and bunji jumping are on my "too risky" list.

Hey guys, Im a skydiver, and I can tell you that there is no feeling like it in the world! No drink or drug can compare. Ive never been to the Swiss alps but have jumped a lot of different aircraft and can tell you that a chopper or hot air balloon is very similar to B.A.S.E. without the danger. Not the same at all, but kinda the same feeling on exit.

Gonna attach a couple pics showing the type of skydiving I enjoy the most....CReW....Canopy Relative Work. Talk about a rush!!! A little more dangerous, but more fun in my opinion. If you've never jumped, do yourself a favor and do it! And its safer than dodging the cagers, just a little more expensive in the long run. RB
