Re: [njh82] Best/Most daring Base Jumper in the World

your question is fairly vague. BASE jumpers tend to be a confident lot. how you define "best" will greatly affect your answer. some define the "best" as the jumper who keeps very quiet about their exploits.

"most daring" just means they should have died, but failed to date.

and if you just want to learn the name of the fellow who jumped with the Frenchie in Dubai, I doubt you'll get it.

Regardless if he's cool on a personal level (which people claim and I have no problem with), I'm sick of the way he presents himself and the sport while in the limelight. Please find someone CHILL, down to earth, whose reasons for jumping go beyond an ego and a death wish.

No way in hell to have only One as a choice. You definitely need a cross-cut of currant pinnacle jumpers from all disciplines while slipping in even the leading manufactures and jumpers of WS. Canopy and Container. One choice will not even be close to a factual representation of the truth.

Reminds me a good line from Old School:

"Come on, tell me the truth, this is the
first time you have done this, right?"

"Well do you want me to tell you the
truth or do you want me to say this
was the first time?"

In my opinion the BEST would be the guy
or gal with the most jumps from the most
objects with ZERO injuries and ZERO busts.

As for the most DARING, well there have
been quite a few of those, some of which
are on the fatality list.

There is a delightful chap from Paraguay that I don't believe anyone has mentioned. He has done some amazing things, and is the normally the first to do new things..... being the first must make him the most daring?

In reply to:

I heard that he got BASE in ONE JUMP. Supposedly he jumped off a 20 story building in Paraguay at the edge of a 300 foot cliff, with two large antennas on top that are connected by a bridge....and i think also that he landed in a cave.
