11. Base Jumping base jumping is without a doubt my favorite sport in the world. If I had to give up all other activities and keep only one, it would be BASE. The feeling you get when you leap off of a stationary object is like nothing else in the world. http://www.troyhartman.com/base_jumping.htm

BASE jumping is without a doubt my favorite sport in the world. If I had to give up all other activities and keep only one, it would be BASE. The feeling you get when you leap off of a stationary object is like nothing else in the world. Nothing. You are jumping into dead space, with absolutely no noise or wind resistance. Since the jump starts from a standstill, you experience the full effect of acceleration toward terminal velocity. This is entirely different from jumping out of a noisy airplane that already has velocity and is creating wind resistance. Don't get me wrong. Jumping out of an airplane still feels incredible, but just cannot touch a fixed object exit. BASE stands for four different types of objects: Building, Antenna, Span, or Earth. Span is just a nifty word for bridge or cable car. I have by far most of my jumps off of a bridge (probably 150 or so), followed by Earth (cliffs) and only a handful of jumps off of buildings and antennas. I don't like antennas (AM/FM towers) only because of the harmful radiation effect and voltage zaps you get from climbing around on them. Buildings are a rush because you have to sneak into them, get elevator access (or climb stairs, which sucks) and then usually trip some sort of alarm getting on the roof. So you have to be geared up in the stairwell and ready to jump right away. Then, once you land, you need a getaway car ready to blaze out of there, fast. Cliff jumps are my favorite because you have to hike your ass off and you get to hang out in beautiful places.

Home Mountaineering Yosemite Rock information BASE jumping in Yosemite By Q.-Tuan Luong for the Yosemite Rock page Summary: a detailed history of base jumping in Yosemite, from how it came to be illegal, to some recent events. Please note that this is from the perspective of a non-base jumper A personal view The first time I had heard of El Capitan, more than fifteen years ago, was not from another climber, but from a French army officer of the Air Force Fusilliers Commandos . He was traveling to California and couldn't pass up on the opportunity. He hiked by himself in the afternoon to the top of the mountain, waited a few hours into the night, and jumped and landed in the dark without any fear. Aftewards, he had a custom T-shirt made, and was amused to see how some American skydivers seemed outraged. BASE jumping refers to the four general types of structures from which people jump: Buildings, Antennas, Spans (bridges) and Earth (cliffs). It is the most extreme form of skydiving because altitudes can be ridiculously low, the objects themselves represent a hazard, and landing areas can be quite small. Of course, the more extreme it is, the more it attracts some people. At one point, I looked seriously into it, but fortunately :-) I was distracted by other pursuits. The sport really begin in earnest in 1978, when freefall photographer Carl Boenish led a group of jumpers to El Capitan's summit and produced a spectacular short film of their skydives. The film inspired jumpers to visit Yosemite Valley and NPS, not knowing how to

Main Page Recent changes Edit this page Page history ... Printable version Not logged in Log in Help Other languages: BASE jumping From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. BASE jumping is the sport of using a parachute to jump from fixed objects. "BASE" is an acronym that stands for the four categories of objects from which one can jump; (B) uilding, (A) ntenna, (S) pan (the word used for a bridge), and (E) arth (the word used for a cliff). BASE jumps are generally from much lower height than a traditional airplane parachute jump, although there are notable exceptions. In the United States, an "advanced" skydiver (over 100 airplane skydives) is recommended, on an airplane jump, to deploy the main parachute no lower than 2,000 feet (610 m). At that time, if the airplane jumper had already been in freefall for at least 1,000 feet (305 m), the jumper is traveling 120 miles per hour (54 m/s), and is 11 seconds from the ground. Some BASE jumps, very high cliffs, can be from heights of over 5,000 feet (1524 m), though these are rare. Most BASE jumps are made from less than 1,000 feet (305 m). A BASE jump from a 500 foot (152 m) object is about 6 seconds from the ground. At these lower heights, it is not recommended to use airplane

BASE JUMPING HISTORY By Nick Di Giovanni, BASE 194 Delving fully into the history of BASE jumping is outside the scope of this web site. However, in brief, here's how the sport evolved. A note to Para-historians, I learned early two people can see the same thing yet disagree on what they saw, so be careful. A Word About Carl Boenish Carl Boenish is known as the "Father of Modern BASE jumping." This is because he is the first to apply modern gear (ram air parachutes) and modern freefall techniques (tracking) to fixed object jumps. He is also the first to show the world through his films that fixed object jumps are not one-off stunts but jumps that are actually repeatable. Known to his family as Ronnie, Carl is 21 years of age in 1960 when he begins jumping at the DZ in Lake Elsinore, California. He becomes an Electrical Engineer working for the Hughes Corporation and in 1966 he's heavily involved in photographing the early days of RW on the West Coast. One day in the summer of 1966 Carl hears a weird story. A story that would change the course of his life. Two skydivers from Barstow, California, Michael Pelky, an accountant, age 25 and Brian Schubert, a truck driver, age 26, decided to parachute off Yosemite's El Capitan. They jumped side by side on a Sunday afternoon at around 5:00 PM and both did decent delays but did not track away from the wall. Their round Paracommander canopies opened fine but the updrafts and swirling winds pushed them back into the face and both repeatedly banged into the wall on the way down. By the time they landed in the rocky talus below both are pretty beaten up. Pelky has numerous abrasions and a broken ankle. Schubert also had many abrasions plus a broken leg and broken foot. Both were ambulanced to a local hospital.

Click to enlarge Many forms of jumping are available in the area, from BASE jumping and sky diving, to the involuntary leap from rock cliffs and the occasional suicide. Most popular, though, are base jumping and sky diving. BASE Jumping BASE ( B uildings, A ntennae, S pans, E arth) jumping takes place at the New River Gorge Bridge on Bridge Day. The bridge is 876 feet high and overlooks the New River. Bridge Day, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., is the only time BASE jumping is legal. There are a limited number of slots available so you must register in advance to sure you will have the opportunity to jump. Bridge Day is the third Saturday in October. You should plan to arrive at least one day before the event and plan to stay at the Carnifex Ferry Cottages or the Driftwood Lodge , if available. Bridge Day is organized by Andy Calistrat of the World BASE Association. He’s organized it for the past several years. He holds the permit for the jumping, and everyone who jumps has to be registered through the WBA. His e-mail address is andy@starbase.neosoft.com, and his phone number is (713) 437-0323, evenings. You can also write to him via snail mail at World BASE Association PO Box 451636 Houston TX 77245-1636 Rental gear has not been available in the past but you can get what you need to convert your own gear as long as you have the basics. You should also have reasonable accuracy skills, some exit practice, and live wet-water training. One-hundred jumps (sky diving) is a good minimum experience level.
