JaapSuter 0 #5 October 21, 2005 QuoteWhat's the Highest? Highest about point of impact, highest above landing area or highest above sea-level? QuoteWhat's the Lowest? What kind of jump? Freefall, PCA, static-line, D-bag or unpacked (which to some people isn't a BASE jump anymore). Over water or over hard ground? It's a big difference. Quote180 ft? Wow! Not much room for error that low. But a lot more room than the guy taking a wingsuit off a really high exit point where he barely clears a little ledge. Sorry for being pedantic. I do think you asked a great question, if only because it demonstrates that numbers rarely mean anything in BASE. You will begin to touch heaven in the moment that you touch perfect speed. And that isn’t flying at a thousand, miles an hour or a million or flying at the speed of light. Because any number is a limit and perfection doesn’t have limits. Perfection is being there That said, I'm going to defeat my own argument by pointing you to the records section of BASE WIKI in the hope that other people will look there too and provide information for some of the unknown records.

outrager 6 #14 October 22, 2005 QuoteWhat's the Highest? What's the Lowest? BASE jump you've ever made? I believe the highest was a cliff on acid, but could've also been a bridge on mushrooms. I'm not quite sure how to compare apples and oranges here since blow probably doesn't count 'coz we would never ever do it. The lowest must have been an anal orgy with a virgin underage female base student i promised to marry but dumped at a lousy freestander instead. bsbd! Yuri.
