Hi,

I`ve got this picture. It`s an abandoned diamond mine in Siberia. The hole is about 1,5 km deep and 540m wide. It takes about 90-120 minutes to drive a track down.

euhm?? and the picture is ....???

Cool down! :).

They are coming.

*no BASE experience thinkin* wouldn't you have to be a hell of a tracker to get tis one... Or start the WS flying early...

That may be ther perfect place to construct the BASE trebuchet!

LMAO.

Once I've progressed to succesfully jumping from pyramids, I'll immediately jump this site.

Draw a rope between the diameter points and make sure there's a truck waiting for you at the bottom, as a walk along the spiral is a few miles easily.

Cool find!

The "steps" look to be about 90 to 100m high. If so, yes its jumpable

A quick getaway might prove difficult :)

Found a little something about the site. You got the wide/depth-thingy the wrong way. The answer is; 1 1/2 km wide, 500 m deep. Also found a picture with snow in the mine, and i guess it's better suited for a snowboardride A answer would be to bring a 1,5 km wire and two trucks so than one could exit in the middle, but this kind of blew me off;
Call me chicken, but beeing held up with a kalosnikow in Siberia Russia is not my kind of thrill... But i wont stop anyone

Classic!
keep em coming.


1 day I'll upload some photo's of all the local objects in my area, if that isnt breaking policy.
well as long as I dont say where they are i think it'll be allowed.

I`ve suspect that without any prior knowledge.
Beer for the Pyramid jumpers, of course just right after any jump :).

Mines. Beauty.

Check out Chuiquicamata in Northern Chile, or, better even, the biggest man made hole in Kimberley, South Africa.
However, the remarks above apply....
