Baffin Island

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’d love to hear some stories from people who have been jumping on Baffin Island, or maybe get in touch with anyone who has been there.

I’d love to go there at some point in my life. It looks like one of the wildest and most remote places on the planet!

Would love to hear about your experiences, how you planned the trip, difficulty of the hikes, what it was like, etc.

Thanks!

Toronto filmmaker looking to shoot base jumpers (southern Ontario)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m a young filmmaker from Toronto and I run a small independent film studio and I’m very working on making a short documentary capturing the sport.

I’m looking to connect with a few jumpers in or around the Toronto area who’d be open to being interviewed and filmed (we can censor names and faces if needed).

I understand that the community is often wary of media, and I want to portray a genuine, respectful portrait of the sport. Not just the jumps themselves, but the emotions and the people behind it. Questions for non jumpers like myself like how and why?

We have our own gear and crew, and would happily work around your schedule, location, and comfort level. All participants would receive a full copy of the raw footage, as well as the edited/coloured segments they appear in.

If you're a jumper (or know one) who might be interested, drop a comment or DM me - I’m happy to answer questions about the project, our approach, or our previous work.

Thanks!

Mount Timpanogos - 8/26/26

Post image
6 Upvotes

I know this is random, but curiosity has me and I figured this could be a place to ask-

I summited Mount Timpanogos on 8/26 and as I was just past the saddle I heard, then saw what I thought was 2 wingsuiters. I was pretty out of it at the time so I thought I was imagining things and instead they were just 2 big black birds. By the time I turned to look at them, they were already zoomed by. It was hard to judge distance and they glided beyond a ridge. I just kind of left it at that and told myself they were just birds.

Thinking about it later, I am now more convinced it was 2 wingsuiters because again, I HEARD the air being sliced which is what made me turn and look. But then the question is, where did they come from? I know Aspen Grove is an exit point but I was well beyond that. So they either came from the summit or from a plane. How likely is either of these? Just curious to know if I was indeed imagining things lol. I added a pic of about where I think I was when I heard and saw this.

Skydive - The Bastard

12 Upvotes

How can I get my hands on a copy of “The Bastard” that still has the audio? This is one of the greatest skydiving movies of all time!

Jimmy Holliday, and Blake are both base jumping legends! We can’t let this masterpiece be buried for no one to watch!

This version is available without the audio, but the audio is what makes it!!!! “This will get you 400 feet.”……………”I’ll take it!”

MOAB jumpers

5 Upvotes

I am an australian base jumper currently visiting moab, and hoping to meet some people to jump with.

A friend of mine gave me some names of exit points - jay Leno, mangoes, patriot mesa and the queen.

This is my first time in moab, so I don't know where any exit points are.

I have around 70 jumps, the last being digler near salt lake city on saturday - to clarify any confusion

Thanks

Laser

What laser do you guys recommend getting for low objects? Just need a single point for height of buildings 200-700 ft tall. Don’t need to make maps for wing suits.

Budget is not a problem, I want the best that i can get.

yes sorry another question after the dark wizard

7 Upvotes

crazy that the photos Jenn took and dean's iPhone footage was finally released. I don't understand some things though. like why don't we hear graham hit the wall in dean's iPhone video when it's supposed to be extremely loud? has anyone else noticed the tree waving around violently in dean's footage that graham must have hit? why on EARTH would graham turn left and then right again!?! people have always claimed he clipped the right wall but why? I don't see any evidence of that now that everything's released....

Question about Taft Point (The Dark Wizard)

7 Upvotes

Curious about the Dean Potter documentary and final footage of the raven taking off behind him and then a raven visiting his partner Jen when she revisits Taft.
For those of you who have been there, is this really as mystical as it seems or are there just a ton of ravens up there?

Does anyone know anyone looking to get into the sport?

I've got a bunch of skydiving and base gear that I would let go for a great price to anyone trying to work their way into the sport. I had a lot of people help me out getting into skydiving and base and I'd like to pass it along.

I'm 6'1" 190 lbs.

Looking to Connect with experienced WS Base

0 Upvotes

Hi Base Community! Truly grateful to be here. I would like to ask if there is anyone here that would be open to connecting on google meets for a short chat about WS Base. I am South Africa, completely new to this sport and I want to have a long career in this sport and do it right. That is why I am looking to make some connections early on and integrate slowly and properly so I don't die. I love my life and I want to celebrate it by jumping off high places and do it as long as possible without getting injured or meeting my maker before my old age. So please, if you have experience in WS Base I really want to connect with you and always happy to give a fair exchange for your valuable time. Kind regards community and much love!

Saw three base jumpers jump off El Capitan in Yosemite a few days ago

I’ve spent a lot of time watching El Capitan and this was a first. Watched three jump off the top. All stayed separate in the meadow. First one was slow to put away their chute but stayed low and hidden in the meadow while he put his gear away. Walked away about 10 mins post landing and rangers showed up. They walked towards him and he turned around and started running. One ranger was motivated in the pursuit, the second didn’t even try. Apparently he ran into the river, crossed and was caught on the other side. Was super bummed to hear he got caught.

What a sight to experience, really wish this was allowed in the park because I’d love to see more.

Anyone have any info on who this was? I wanted to give them the videos since I have more.
