BASE jumping is a sport where the user
straps on a parachute and jumps off of a
fixed object (ie not a airplane). BASE is an
acronym from the various different objects
from where a user can jump:
Building
Antenna
Span
Earth
BASE jumping is similar to
and related to both
Skydiving
and
Wingsuit flying. I recommend you read up

the super cool videos. At the bottom there
are many books and videos to learn about

Good Luck and Have Fun!
