Just fookin curious...anybody else think it would be interesting to have an adventure race that somehow incorporated BASE?

Like have a competition down in Moab that involved running, bicycling, climbing, jumping, kayaking etc etc...

That sounds like a neat idea. You should put a poll on this. I bet you could do an anual event or something out of it and draw in some positive attention.

Awesome idea!

I like the idea of combining climbing, kayaking and maybe downhill biking with jumping, But I personally wouldn't like swimming, running and road riding.
Just don't let it become another triathlon with the addition of base jumpers.



I can't wait to see where this idea ends up though, i'll be watching this thread

I think a kind of race like that was actually done in SA some years ago, organised by an israeli jumper Omer Mei-Dan (who hurt himself on table mountain). Jeb and Juri were there. http://www.natgeoprogramming.com/...ng-death-base-jumper

What about Extreme Body Modification, penguin wrestling and grenade dueling? I am very offended that my top leisure activities were not included.

Can we please please include Shark Fucking?

Oops, I forgot about the real sports. We also need strippers bitch slapping each other topless
(For those of you who haven't seen this sport, points are awarded on wobblyness, not slaps )

Please host this event in SA

There is / was a race just like that. I remember watching a documentary on it.

There was several teams of about 5 people. Each team was a certain country (England, USA etc), and they started with running and it included lots of sports. Each team had to work together and it finnished by climbing up one side of a cliff... base of the other side... straight in to a plane and skydiving across the finnish line.

Unfortunatly I have no idea what it was called! Im sure someone knows...

Very cool :o)

well...shit balls

I'd still like to see something a little more geared towards the style of an adventure race. And more for the average base jumper, not sick rock climbers knockin out 5.12's and what not....ya know, a 5.6 is still fun for me

hey man i think its a killer idea.
applications for team florida are currently be accepted.

up with team florida.
down with team SLC.
those guys are wierdos, with thier skis and gingers and such.

fook yeah i would be all about that!

I'm in, trail run, mountain bike, climb, BASE sounds like a blast. Anyone gonna seriously try to organize this? if Moab is the place, maybe talking to jimmy and marta would be a good starting point? perhaps apex will sponsor event?

i work with some guys in europe that put events on around the world, we have been trying to get LV and dubai on the list for a while, but i am sure they would be interested in something like this... ill chat with them this week and see what they think. they come with a whole slue of sponsors and organization.

Awesome video. That seemed way more dated then 2007. I also like the cut at the end from BASE jump opening to crossfire(I think, definitely not BASE canopy), and back to BASE canopy collapsing. Truly awesome.

Being stupid, where is LV?

Shark Fucking is for [religious group] and Pussy's. Should try honey badger fucking. They are one of the fiercest, most predatory animals on the planet. The race should include a crazy bar fight, a beer chugging contest ,and a obstacle course in a building where you have to run from an angry stripper who is trying to kick your ass for her money then jump off the roof.


edited to not inflame any specific religious group. -- wwarped

The sad thing is, that has actually happened to me before...seriously
