RE: Best BASE JUMPING Video you have ever seen!!! - The Real Oktoberfest!

in #halloween6 years ago

Damn dude, you got WAY bigger balls than I do lol. I can barely watch the video. That's the scary part for me hahaha

Where was the bridge located? Looks like a cool location. Can't believe you did it in the dark with glow sticks though.

Is it just a crazy rush of adrenaline? Is there any special timing to when you release the parachute or is it just try to drop it as soon as possible? Terrifying man.

Great masks and good music choice. Were you able to see the ground when you landed in the dark? Looked black AF in the video.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks man!
The bridge is a few hours outside of Italy (can't give a specific location I'm afraid).

On this bridge you have 4 seconds from when you jump until you would hit the ground, so we don't want to leave it more than 2 seconds before deploying our parachute. So yeah you wanna get it out pretty quick haha.

I couldn't see the ground on the night jump, all I could see was the car headlights, and a glow stick on the ground as a target. I flared a little early when coming in to land as I thought the ground was closer than it was, which is why I fell over :-)

Hahaha damn man that is gnarly. I can see why that was the scariest thing you've done lol I was just sitting on my end, mouth agape. Were you able to get an angle from the ground of you coming in with the glow sticks or something? I'm just trying to imagine what it must have looked like from the other end to see some dude floating through the air with neon lights hanging all over him hahaha

Still, looks like you can have a lot of fun with it. Not sure I'd ever have the balls to do it but I don't mind watching from my laptop. Stay safe man! Four seconds is such a short time hahahahaha

Thanks! And yeah I was a little gutted we didn't have any cameras about on the ground for the night jump. I asked my buddy who jumped before me and he said he couldn't really see me on the bridge when he was on the ground, but he said it looked cool as I came down as I came out of nowhere haha

That's all I could think about hahaha I wonder what it looked like as you came in. All good though, the rest of the vid makes up for it. Probably would have just been a blurry neon blur floating through a screen of black lol Cheers mate! Thanks again for sharing!
