Base Jumping in Norway

[Kriger]

I just happened to stumble across this while searching for other material. I had not realized that such a thing was possible, let alone being done. It's totally amazing and breath taking....

This one has some incredible low-flying passes. It's sometimes difficult to gauge how close these guys get to the ground, but on this one the guy looks down and his shadow is just feet away:

When I first discovered YouTube whatever many years ago, one of the first things I searched out was B.A.S.E Jumping vids. It's a pretty obscure sport and hardly ever seen on TV. I remember the guys who base jumped off the Eiffel Tower making the news and I think that's what led me on the search for more of these vids.

And the stunts are hair-raising. I can't imagine those few seconds just before jumping.

Thanks for posting these!
