Does anybody do any kind of exercises for BASE jumping? What about cross training? It seems to help in other sports. I think this exercise video could really prove useful in BASE, it would help with your exit and freefall skills. By doing this routine at the exit point I can't imagine what could go wrong.


clicky

That would be extremely dangerous at the exit point. You might be fine, but the jumpers with you would probably get hurt when they fell off the object because they were laughing at you.

Thanks for sharing that. Made my day.

The comments are priceless

how bout this one :P

haha....I better not, in that case! can't risk!!!

Thanks !

That aint office safe and i dont even think it is internet safe , that must be the sickest thing i have ever seen...why are there so many fucked up peopel in this world...[cool

Dont watch it! Its fuckin sick.

FAR from it

i dont even think it is internet safe

Dont watch it! Its fuckin sick.


hmm....getting more and more interested now! :-)

ahh....it just occurred to me. I always forget I have a phone I can go on. Let me. Would you recommend before or after lunch? :-D


on a serious note. If its gory..I don't think I will feel good. I feel really really sick at the sight of blood. (am sure am not the only one here).
Was watching this "I shouldn't be alive" episode of these two teenage boys who went for a casual fishing day out in the sea and got drifted for over 90 miles into the ocean. Spent 6 days in a small boat without food, water and shelter..... on 4/5th the younger was so vulnerable that he started eating his own skin that was already peeling off from the heat and sea water. And then he went further to dig the knife a bit deeper so that he can at least get something in his mouth. Hunger was driving him mad. I skipped that part before he went ahead with that idea.

I've heard of some jumpers that like to do a "new and politically correct" military workout routine. It will improve body position, cause a greater percentage of on heading openings, and make you a badass mofo.. Possibly side effects include uncomfortable stares from gay men...


Sorry can't seem to make it a clicky from my phone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS0kHGMiPH8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

okay ...closed the window in about just over a second.
Did anyone at all survive the whole video???

I think I will stick to that original exercise video by GGuide. (but that whipping part........sigh...what to say?!)

GauleyGuide,

Well, I was just running and strength training. You know, the regular stuff. But now I'm going to incorporate Double Dream Hands into my schedule twice a week.

I'll let you all know if I'm able climb antennas any quicker after a couple months of this.

Thanks for a great post!

thats the worst fucking thing ive ever seen in my life, and i took a picture of my father with the poorly patched bullet wound in his temple before the closed casket funeral.

I'll bet he doesn't have the balls to do it again.

He doesn't have to worry about people saying he has bigger balls than brains anymore.

Seriously though, that was the most disgusting, disturbing thing I have ever seen. I had nightmares last night because of that video.

LMAO.

Yall were warned.

Fuck me, that is truly the roughest video I have ever seen! Just watching that made my balls retract so far in that it hurt.

Seriously... do NOT watch it... it's not human

I didn't watch the whole thing, did anyone make it through the whole video?

A reminder that while we do allow the posting of videos related to BASE incidents which may be deemed gory. Gore videos unrelated to BASE may find themselves being edited and replaced by happy pictures of bunnies, unicorns and rainbows... Or just removed all together :)

OMFG, and ill quote someones comment on youtube.........

"this guy is the bastard lovechild of patrick swayze and gary busy"

..................................i just pissed myself laughing

bossman, I can't comment on that video. I read enough comments that I realized it was in my best interest to avoid it!

it's hard to assess something I won't watch...

Lots and lots of sex and running/hiking 20-25 miles/week. I climb towers fast (330' in 8 minutes) and run away even faster

Though originally geared toward skiing, I believe these exercises could be useful for BASE jumpers, too:
