Base Documentary
Ok, so back in the mid to late 90's there was a documentary done on base jumping on the Discovery channel I believe, it may have been the History channel or some other though. For the life of me I can't find it or even evidence that it ever existed. Anybody remember it?
Thanks

If I remember correctly, Mike Allen and Mark and Marta Hewitt were in it doing some tower jumps in Maine.

Re: [Landrite] Base Documentary
I remember it. The title was 'BASE Jumpers' and it aired on the Discovery Channel back in the early '90s. I believe it was a Tom Sanders film. I've been looking for it for years and haven't been able to find it.

As Walt indicated, it included great footage of Mike Allen and Mark and Marta Hewitt jumping from a terminal tower (although I believe tower was in FL), Angel Falls, Bridge Day, etc.

Was it the one with Tom Sanders and Moe Viletto jumping a legal antenna? I probably have a copy of it if so.

That tower you speak of was/in Maine.

I remember talking with Mike about it. He said he was about to exit and one of the media people was asking him, "How do you feel right now?", kind of questions. LOL

BTW, I believe that is where that spectacular footage of Mark Hewitt doing a gainer off a tall tower came from.

If copyrights don't apply post it on YouTube or something so we all can enjoy it. :)
