Shortcut
Delay
Just wondering what the longest delay is that has been done on a base jump?

Also what is the height of the tallest cliff that has been jumped? (not tallest in terms of altitude, but sheer cliff).....

I know a guy that took a good 2.5 sec off of 670 feet of tower. That's gotta be up there. He thought it was more like 4 but it wasn't.

He provided regurgitated dinner for windrift and kicked his legs all the way till linestrech.

T'was a sight BK.

I would imagine it would have been BASE Jumpers that have Taken it all the way to the Dirt.

How do you do that without Site-Naming and angering the management ?

He asked "what is the height of the tallest cliff".... He didn't ask for the name of the cliff!

5300ft/1600m from exit to landing to be exact. Tracking with Phoenix pants or other tracking suits. This is a legal cliff in Norway. Not sure if this is the highest, the illegal cliff might even be higher. 40-60sec delay depending on tracking style. But more important(for me) about 2km tracking distance... Still waiting for exact gps data. (Julian, were are you?!)
