Base Jump World Record set by My Next-door Neighbor

in #adventure7 years ago (edited)

Miles Daisher was my neighbor several years back when I lived in Twin Falls, ID, USA. He's a sponsored RedBull Athlete who's base jumped around the world. Just four days ago he used the extended daylight of the Summer Solstice to set a new Base Jump World record of 63 jumps in 24 hours.

Twin Falls, Idaho is a hotspot for base jumpers. The city is built along the south rim of the Snake River Canyon and the I.B. Perrine Bridge connects the city to the northern interstate. I happened to be back in Twin Falls today and managed to take some photos and videos of the bridge and of base jumpers.

Very nice series.

@therightduke, there were so many things I should have done before having kids. A lot of bucket list items that will never been checked off. I just can't risk it! But I respect the men and women who do!

I don't blame you for putting kids first! World perspective focus shift when the little ones come about. Craziest thing is though, Miles Daisher has a wife and kids 😮
