Base Jumping

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the sport of base jumping, this is essentially a sport that involves jumping off of very high place that are not airborne. This would include such things as cliffs and tall buildings. Typically a parachute of some type is involved as not doing so would be far more dangerous than the sport already is.

Kyle recently decided to start practicing, though on a much smaller scale, his own style of base jumping. This was not something he came up with on his own, however. His cousin, Nathan, was instrumental in “helping” him learn this concept as Nathan loves jumping off of things, too.


This started with Kyle figuring out how to jump up and use his momentum to get himself on top of the bed at our Disneyland hotel room. By the time I got the video camera, he was starting to get a bit tired, so it took him a few tries. For a while, he was getting up there first time, every time.

So, here’s the video of the bed jumping. One more note on this…this was nap time. I’m just saying…

TTFN!

Thanks. Yeah, I just wish I'd have gotten the camera earlier. He was slowing down by the time I started recording. He was a wild man!
