In this video, a group of extreme athletes traveled to the amazing landscapes of Utah to attempt a version of BASE jumping that I’ve never seen before. It’s called Zip-BASE and it involves first ziplining down a long line before letting go and parachuting back to Earth. In this case, that long zipline is spread out across a large canyon and looks like quite a ride in and and of itself. But, mid-way through the descent things get even more interesting. Looks like fun, but I never want to try this.
