Re: [ngfone] Oldest BASE jumper ever
Jim Guyer was possibly the oldest active jumper making jumps well into his 70's I believe. I don't think he started until pretty late in age too. He is one tough SOB!
Re: [Ronald] Oldest BASE jumper ever
39 is not old!! Besides, ronald is older than me, so is neil 'granddad' jarvis- or at least he looks it!😉
Re: [hjumper33] Oldest BASE jumper ever
"your not old, you just look it." Classic line from King of Poland. AKA Olek.
Re: [base570] Oldest BASE jumper ever
At 75 I got all four and earned #719. I'm 89 now but no longer jumping.

Don Cripps. He's now 87 and just recently made his 4000th skydive at Skydive Panama City. Super Nice guy.

I'm pretty sure the oldest BASE jumper is wasatchrider at 46 years old.
Re: [ngfone] Oldest BASE jumper ever
Well not the least youngest jumper ever then but here's my friend Jerry Balint making his first BASE jump at age 81. He performed well and wants to make more jumps!
Re: [TomAiello] Oldest BASE jumper ever
Tom, I am 78 now. If I jump next year I will be the oldest base jumper in more ways than one, right?
