EnterTheVoid Posted November 12, 2011 Author Posted November 12, 2011 Some pictures that have been floating on my hard drive.
EnterTheVoid Posted November 12, 2011 Author Posted November 12, 2011 Scary but worth it if you are an adrenaline junkie.
EnterTheVoid Posted November 12, 2011 Author Posted November 12, 2011 Brilliant stuff Sree Its not scary Ravi, its actually quite fun provided you're comfortable with heights. BTW, check your email.

EnterTheVoid Posted November 12, 2011 Author Posted November 12, 2011 There's actually nothing much to it. Go up, put the suit on, smile for the camera and jump off :rock:

The B.A.S.E jumping that Wiki is talking about is banned in many countries, the version I did is sanctioned and promoted by the government.
