Last week I mentioned that I’ve been thinking more and more about my participation in BASE jumping.
Since then, it seems that the universe is tempting me even more by placing BASE videos square in front of my face. The BASE gods are calling me to the dark side (wait, that’s freefly…I’m confusing myself here).
Anyhow, given that it’s the day before Thanksgiving, I thought it appropriate to make a quick post about how thankful I am for the opportunities I have to huck myself out of aircraft, off balloons and one day, static objects.
I’m also extremely thankful for the video technologies available for us narcisistic jumpers to capture all these adventures and show them off to all our whuffo friends.
Here are a few of the videos that have found their way into my life recently. Hope they make your mouth water for BASE as much as they have mine. Enjoy!
A video by Dan Pushies, one of the tandem instructors at Skydive Tecumseh, featuring Ian, another jumper buddy I met in Michigan this year. This is going to be BAD ASS!

Blue Skies, turkeys!
