base jump

Personally, I think you have to be certifiably crazy to attempt any BASE jump, let alone one from the roof of a moving vehicle.

With the exception of a single oncoming truck, there are no other human beings or motorists in sight at the time of the jump too, which I found to be pretty awesome.

Austin Carey was the BASE jumper who was lost for over a week after performing a jump with his friend. His body was eventually recovered. His friends commemorated him with one last jump with his ashes. It was all caught on video.

I'm not sure if this area is off limits to this type of recreation, but nonetheless, it was an impressive jump in ideal conditions.

The fall is ONLY 197 feet for crying out loud, and the fact he landed perfectly on a trail below with basically no room for error, is pretty amazing.

Any jump off the Perrine Bridge is insane to me. I've seen people take the plunge on skateboards, in costumes, from the top of passing trucks, and even on fire, but this raises the bar really high.

Since the announcement was made on the Southern Idaho Tourism website in May, locals are growing more and more excited about the opportunity to host jumpers from across the globe in this first ever organized competition in Twin Falls.

A well executed backflip, followed by a textbook landing by one of the day's jumpers, provides a unique angle of both the bridge and the activity itself, and at the same time is a stark reminder of how tiny human beings are compared to nature.

It blows my mind that there are people who not only willingly BASE jump from the bridge, but they enjoy it.

A BASE jumper was flown to the hospital after a hard landing Monday evening in the Snake River Canyon.

This latest post gives viewers a little different perspective of what it's like standing on that ledge, and taking that beautiful leap above the Snake River.

These brave soles make this look ridiculously easy.

When Danny Weiland attempted to set the record for most BASE jumps in a day at the Perrine, something special happened at the end and it was captured in an amazing Instagram pic.

There are some things that can only happen in Twin Falls. Here's an example. A guy on top of a truck going 45 mph across the Perrine Bridge jumps off. Yep, that happened and I have the picture to prove it.

Jumping off a bridge and sailing to the Snake River Canyon floor may look like fun but remains very dangerous.  The latest to die in Twin Falls is a 73-year-old man who leaped off the Perrine Bridge just after 5:30 yesterday afternoon.  His chute failed to open and he fell hard into the ri…
