base jumping trip

[drkramm]

so ive been skydiving for awhile now and decided "hey this is getting kinda boring" .. still fun and the wingsuit makes it more of a challenge but still ... so in a never ending quest to play ding dong ditch with death i took up base jumping here are some of my jumps .. some were night some are not shown for legality issues

(this was a first jump course

the video ! note all vids are mine some jumps were not filmed (night jumps and such as stated above)

The bridge is the perrine bridge one of the few places where its legal to base jump the bridge is 486ft tall (to the water 480 to the landing area) and to put that in perspective once your feet leave the bridge you have 5 seconds before hitting the water at around 90 mph (not survivable)


order of jumps (in video)
1-2 pca jumps (someone else is holding my pilot chute)
3 hand held no delay
4 hand held 1 second delay
5 hand held 2 second delay
6 stowed no delay
7 static line
8 solo handheld 2-3ish delay
9 solo stowed 1-2 second
10 stowed 3 second delay
11 (actually the same jump as 10 just camera on my wrist)
12 pca to get cool shot of my O face

wow man. I would LOVE to do that someday... looks like so much fun

def loving the wrist cam too because it really helps see what exactly is going on as compared to the guy standing on the bridge with the camera.. so awesome.
