Awesome Base Jumping

Well, here’s a stunt you don’t see every day.

BASE jumping takes serious balls, and the shorter the jump, the bigger they need to be.

The crazy thing is that this daredevil has done jumps from less than half that height.

The guys from BIT – BASE Inspired Travels climbed to the top of this abandoned wind turbine so they could jump off of it. The unusual Ferris wheel design of the windmill is just as interesting to look at as the brief 50-meter dive into the fog. We’d love to see footage of the climb, though.

(PG-13: Language) MrSlackline jumps from the Thug Mansion, a huge webbed structure that he built with nearly 100 other people. They used 21,000ft. of cords to make two large nets, both suspended from a height of 400ft. and connected by an 80ft. double slackline.
