WS BASE Rodeo
Its 2017, I"m wondering if this will be the year of the first WS BASE rodeo. We've evolved a lot over the years, and keep doing more and more epic stuff for videos. I think the next step of epicness would be the first wingsuit BASE rodeo. Lets do it 2017.

Re: [spoofqueen] WS BASE Rodeo
There's a rigger near Brento who has a photo of a BASE wing suit rodeo on the wall of his loft. I believe the photo was taken in 2006, but I might have the year wrong.

I think the best part might have been that special tom was back up, packed and ready in his wingsuit about 30 min later until he was talked out of it. He was quite special.

Re: [hjumper33] WS BASE Rodeo
I was there for his first cliff jumps. Never thought he would make it out of this game alive. Special Tom for the win!

LOL... I didn't know who that was but it was pretty obvious during the interview that he was definitely "special..."

that's what i thought. I remember that one -- PC bridle snagged on her go-pro mount, not enough altitude left after she cleared it.

kudos to Gary C for keeping everyone but her alive all these years.

Is there photo proof? Julian says he did a lot of things "first" so he can jerk people's chain with that deliciously twisted spec ops sense of humor he has.

Re: [base44] WS BASE Rodeo
Well geez, don't that make me look like an idiot. I just ASSUMED it had never been done in the BASE environment, but we all know what happens when you assume. Well then,

How about in 2017, someone jumps off a high cliff without a rig, only for 2 other people fly up to him/her in free fall to put a rig on and then pull... much like Travis Pastrana did out of the airplane... But BASE!!!
Dont tell me this has been done already!!!!!

Re: [MBA-FRANK] WS BASE Rodeo

Re: [markus36] WS BASE Rodeo
I thought I heard quite a few years ago that he isn't jumping anymore, but I'm not sure if this was (or still is) true.
