BASE Jumping

I had the opportunity to witness some BASE Jumping from a local restaurant on Friday, but I didn't have as good a view as a guy operating a drone over the Perrine Bridge did.

A "low pull," is when a jumper tests the limits of the amount of space that separates the object the person jumps off to the ground beneath. It's a dangerous practice, and accounts for many impact deaths annually.

A Vermont BASE jumper who recently traveled to Twin Falls to attempt to set a jump / hike world record combination is back home awaiting confirmation.

Aside from the heat, conditions have been very good for those who passed through Twin Falls in July to take the leap off the Perrine Bridge.

BASEjumper.com states that body positioning is the most important thing a jumper must be aware of, and that it takes the average jumper approximately 200 jumps before they are considered experienced.

This is the first time I've ever seen our quiet, desert community of roughly 52,000 people, ever mentioned by "the worldwide leader in sports."

A 38-year-old California man who was BASE jumping at the Perrine Bridge plunged to his death on Monday after releasing his chute too late.

One person was injured Monday afternoon while BASE jumping into the Snake River Canyon, according to the Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office.

I saw a guy defying gravity at City of Rocks over the weekend.

All money raised will go to the Magic Valley Trails Enhancement Committee.

Epic Idaho could be called participatory tourism.

In the video, about a half dozen brave souls take the 480 foot leap to the canyon's bottom.

Local BASE jumpers want to give back to the community – something they’ve been doing for the past four years.

Many of us in Twin Falls witnessed many of Miles Daisher's jumps on June 21. In case you didn't, Red Bull has released a new video featuring Miles breaking the world record for most human-powered BASE jumps in one 24-hour period.

According to his personal Facebook page, Miles Daisher has broken the world record for most human-powered BASE jumps in one day.

Check out this video of Miles Daisher's first jump in his attempt at breaking a BASE jumping record.

UPDATE! Due to high wind concerns tomorrow, Miles will begin his jumps TODAY (Monday) starting at 11 am!  Miles Daisher will attempt to break the world record for most human-powered BASE jumps during a 24-hour period.

We have always thought that BASE jumpers loved Twin Falls, but now we can prove it with science - or actually a new video.

It's just a matter of time. The world's first drone jump has happened. Anyone want to wager on how long before someone does this off of the Perrine?

It's funny what you can learn when you browse through local videos on Instagram. For example, I learned that there are 2 episodes of an extreme sports show being filmed here right now.
