base tandemjump
The jump has been done before, but not less impressive. Tomorrow sunday 7th on Dutch TV on the "Try before you die" series on BNN. For the promo, just scroll down a bit below the pic. Jump starts at 2.26 min. The passenger has no base experience and AFAIK 1 tandemjump.

As I recall, didn't they do a tandem off the norwegian cliff like five years ago?

Re: [Rauk] base tandemjump
It has been done by Thor Alex and Eric Fradet.

It was done by Ted Strong and Robin Hide at BD many years ago, still it's quite a stunt not to be taken lightly and the TI (BTI?) has some big brass ones.....

Fast Eddie has taken total novices on BASE tandems at NRGB Day...back in the 1990's.

Redbullshit will be all over this now. Especially since it's been done so many times before.

After all doesn't Red Swill give you wings?

And soon enough they'll have "invented" it instead of ole "Bill Botch whatever what's his name" . . .
