Who are they and how old were they when they earned they're number?
Who is the oldest base jumper still jumping?

There was an aussie guy who completed b.a.s.e in 4 jumps, I believe he was in his 60's at the time too. I think his name was Norm Hocking.

Was?

44

Been one I know that earned BASE about 12 years ago and he was in his 70's.

I was 52 when I got mine but that seems quite young going by the above

Haven't jumped for well over a year as my kit "went missing" at ISC New York but my new BJ and Velcro PII are ready for collection.

Yahooooooo!

We did a jump with a dude at the weekend who was 78. Thats pretty fuckin bad ass in my book....

did johnny gates have a BASE #?

Yes, it was Jim. He got hurt badly within a couple years, but I don't know how he's doing now.

2 possible candidates, DtM from UK and Frank the W from Deutschland.

I think you've been spending too much time in your famous dutch coffee shops smoking. Whatever my age i'll always be a few years behind you my friend.
As for frank the w, we would never have made it out of the venezuelan jungle without him to lead us!!

DTM (forever39.)

I'm doing fine at age 83, Rick.
