102 Year Old BASE Jumps Idaho’s Perrine Bridge

TWIN FALLS – It was a busy weekend for Dorothy Custer who turned 102 last week.  Dorothy is no stranger to extreme sports. Or TV cameras. Last year, she zip-lined over the Snake River Canyon to celebrate her 101st birthday. And that came after two appearances on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

The harmonica-playing Twin Falls native quickly became an internet sensation after her national TV appearances, in which she was dubbed "America's Sweetheart." So how did she top last year's birthday zipline adventure? Sunday morning, in celebration of her 102nd birthday, Dorothy took part in a tandem BASE-jump off of Perrine Bridge.

As the parachute opened, Dorothy, and the BASE jump instructor she was fastened to, soared above the Snake River before coming to a gentle landing on the shore of the river. For someone who has live for more than ten decades Dorothy told KTVB-TV the Trip down wasn't long enough.

When she's not thrill-seeking, Dorothy says she tries to sew as much as she can. But we suspect she'll find another exciting way to celebrate her 103rd birthday next year. See her jump at www.ktvb.com
