BASE jumping

The name "BASE Jumping," comes from the English verb jump («jump") and the first letters of the words "building» (building), «antenna» (antenna), «bridge span» (span), and "the earth» (earth). It is in these places most likely to commit jumping fans of extreme sports. In Yekaterinburg, ends the construction of 140-meter skyscraper towers "Iset". The boys decided to visit this place and make a fantastic jump. Details of training and the jump itself look further. So, a group of persons by prior conspiracy was conceived bold and dangerous plan. One of us has to come down from the 38th floor faster than the others. In other words - to jump down.





But everyone can just jump off, so decided to complicate the task. The jump will be done by a double somersault and a parachute opens for a second before impact with the ground.



This is technically a complicated jump wanted to remove the photos and videos. We decided to record video and take pictures in a phone, and to take a top professional photo and video equipment with a set of lenses, studio lights with heavy batteries, microphones, reflectors, tripods, ...



Another invited experienced operator of TV shooting from the ground, and a few people to shoot from the air with unmanned flying machine-copter.



Date jump had moved several times. That the weather is not favorable for the movie, the wind is too strong or is blowing in the wrong direction. I had many times up and down the tower. Several times went to the exploration, then there were "fighting" outs, but again transferred jump for various reasons.



Still, one morning it all came together, and we are already on a high floor and watch the sleeping city under dense blanket of fog.



We have a bunch of photos and a video equipment and take this opportunity to remove the dawn of great beauty.



With the first rays of the sun at the foot of the tower attracts our friends, each of them has an important role in the overall business. It was then estimated to participate in this event 14 people.



It was interesting to watch how the light. For a short time the city of black steel blue with yellow street, then turn off the illumination of roads, everything was gray, but with the sun has changed dramatically in the orange and smoothly flowed into the yellow and then to white.









We decided that would be jumping Ratmir. But as always



First, he needs to wake jellyfish, strongly pulling its tail.





Then he took off to the movies, to a couple of interviews. Such a complex and dangerous jump has not yet nobody made a so low altitude!



POOOOOEEEEEHAAALIIIiiiii !!!





Not early! We took advantage of this floor to prepare and train before jumping. After all rehearsed, we went to want us to 38 floor. Here, the top run-builders Tajiks, they do not understand Russian words, but they can hold in their hands the camera.



And yet a couple of floors below - a safety net. It seems Ratmir decided to err. Or is he going to jump her ?!
All ready, a Tajik-Russian operator learned first word - "film!"
What will be next?! Watch the video below.
