Moto Base jumping?

Green Goblin
I notice it's mainly one guy named Bradley Slums Oneal doing it, and he only has 500 subscribers on Youtube... I'm sure the cool kids have already seen this but to those who have yet to see it, this is what I am talking about. How many of you, given the opportunity, would give it a try?

I know Evil Kenevil and Pastrana have both done it at the grand canyon, but it seems like Bradley is doing it quite often where he can find a proper area, and trying to make some type of sport out of it.

I've been skydiving since 1991 but B.A.S.E. is a completely different animal. It's not hard to learn after being a competent skydiver.
It takes completely different gear and emergency procedures. Skydiving has 2 parachutes in one container inside deployment bags with lines stowed whereas base is just one main canopy usually a 7 cell.

I would love to do it after becoming a competent base jumper.

That's awesome man. Definitely need to know what you're doing. My only worry would be after you've experienced something like this, every single day would be incredibly mundane in the normal world. What would beat the adrenaline rush of this? Haha

Moto racing is a great adrenaline rush but I have to put in a great deal of exercise and seat time but with skydiving you don't have to be in shape.......lol.
When I raced Vet A class it was way more nerve racking than jumping out of a plane.

Base jumping aside, there is some awesome dune riding in that first vid starting after the 5 min mark.

How do you get to the point of being able to do this stuff? Is there a course to be able jump off whatever on your own?

Not sure if it is different for each state but I believe in Wa, you need to be attached nuts to butt with a "dive instructor" and jump 30 times together before you can even solo sky dive. Not unless it's changed over the years... And a lot of class listening to someone talk...

Base jumping is basically the outlaw version and highly illegal 99% of the time and cops try and fine them for attempted suicide and other B.S, as for moto base jumping who knows...

Oh wow. Yeah in Texas I saw a course here that seems like $2000ish for 9 jumps and you can do solo skydive towards the end. Then some base stuff I looked up recommends 100-200 skydives before attempting base. There are legal base areas. Sounds expensive to get into and a lot of time.
