The111 1 #26 January 19, 2004 QuoteSome of that wingsuit flying by the waterfall in Norway would really wow the masses! Any idea where I can get footage of that? (preferably for free on the web ) Sounds like it would really wow me...www.WingsuitPhotos.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CornishChris 5 #27 January 20, 2004 Caveat - not a BASE jumper but aspire to be... One of the coolest I have seen is (as fas as I am aware) the only ever jump off a rather prominent tower in Sydney, Aus. Looks to be late seveties if not earlier from the footage although i was a bit pissed when I saw it. The jumper exits a helicopter at c. 3K. Lands on the top of the tower (c. 1000 feet). Cuts away his main. Runs around like a fool for a bit then hoofs himself off and dumps his reserve. Lands in the park and cracks a bottle of Champagne open. Pretty badass in my book...

base689 0 #30 January 20, 2004 Yes indeed. It is showed on "A Fist Full of F-111" Australian BASE video. Jump performed by W.A. about beginning of 80's. Really OUTSTANDING is the landing on top of large cylinder nearly touching with his Parafoil the side of small cylinder. OUTSTANDING jump!!!!! Me too think it is one of the coolest BASE jump ever As far as the writing on the video says, it is the only BASE jump done by W.A. but Aussie BASE jumper think that, due to coolness of object jumped (and also to the way the whole action was performed), W.A. is a legend!!!!! And I agree with Aussie jumpers!!! Stay safe out there Blue Skies and Soft Walls BASE #689 - base_689AT_NO_123_SPAMyahoo.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some that come to mind: -The Low Pull Comp over about 6 rounds (slider still up on impact on the last round) -The Double Gainer from 57m -The Aerobatic Skysurfing jumps with me wearing & freeflying ( ;) ) a wingsuit (before Birdman started selling) & Dwain doing his magic -The 4way linked head down shuttle cock off KL Tower (+Slim & Johnny & Dwain) -The 3 way tube exit off KL Tower (+Slim & Dwain) -The 9 and 11 way world records off that dangerous but beautiful cliff in Oz (including wraps & cliff strikes) -The fog jump at Smellveggen - a week after Thor Alex - beautiful sunset, 1500 feet of cloud, Ed Trick with sprained ankle, Ed + Johnny + myself deciding to go for it. Visibility < 50 feet. Johnny & I made it (good balanced harness flying) - We found Ed hours later. The Norgies were NOT impressed. -24 way at Kjerag p.s. KM was the guy with 180 + upside down exit - I filmed it. etc etc etc I have been blessed with many great jumps. I am sure DJ would have some great stories of his adventures with DW.
