Default The Craziest Sport on the Planet !

Folks !!! This is for sure the Craziest Sport on the Planet !

Has anyone heard of wingsuit base jumping? Well, for those who have never heard here is a video that better than words the pictures say it all, is breath-taking.

Video - Pure Adrenaline (http://ac-investor.blogspot.com/2008/12/pure-adrenaline.html)

Throughout history there have been many Base jumpers, but unfortunately, many of them have died. One of those pioneers was Dwain Weston, the first to introduce the stunts in this sport. He died during an extreme stunt in 2003 when calculating the distance wrong with the bridge to be overcome. Dwain was a milestone for many people, who were impressed with their jumps and followed in their footsteps.

Wikipedia - http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_jumping

Problem is they are going over 100 mph and landing is not safe. I'm not actually sure if anybody has accomplished it or not but I jump (not basejump) quite a bit and there are a lot of guys getting into the wingsuite thing lately but they're not landing w/o chutes that's for sure.

Base jumping is a deadly sport man. That site's a list of all basejump fatalities...

Totally stunning, there is nothing more needed to be said.EEK!

I've never seen it with those wing suits before. That is a truly awesome sport. I'd love to try it, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to jump. ;)
