There is a forum from 2006 asking the age of the oldest BASE jumper. It then proceeds with what is the lowest BASE number. As most of these forums go, they go way off the subject. So I am wondering what is the lowest BASE number still actively jumping? Or simply has made a recent (within the year) jump.

we got a base #twenty something that's active, Maybe 23 or so.

BASE #25 is known to do the occasional lob

38 still falls off things, but for the first time ever for me, it's been a over a year from last base jump.

38

PS. I think I need some more encouragement from a couple locals.

I think I'm ready to go when you are man.

yeah me too, i need 16 hrs notice

Pick me up on your way west

seems like a party y'all. Houston is fun.

#27 is still active, and getting more so. I'm the #twenty something that Dan mentioned. I was at Kjerag for a few last august, and I'm going again this year. Jump an Ace 260 in a Snekor or a Baser. Mostly like big cliffs now but there are some cool bridges and smaller cliffs here in South Africa that i like to play on.
#10 is still active skydiving; I did a team with him at the world meet in Dubai last month. I'll check if he's active in base.

we jumped a few months ago !! remember the dual? ha

I'm 72 years old, and I believe I have been a BASE jumper longer than any other living person on the planet. I'd be happy to hear from anyone who can refute this.

Especially if you have been jumping for 42 years

Even if you haven't been jumping for 42 years, I am very grateful to you and the other pioneers of BASE. I enjoy BASE jumping, but I couldn't do what you all did...

I think #10 just skydives now. I tried to get him to jump a couple years ago.
