Bet it's a rush and no way I could do it, but what's it pioneering?

No-one else has BASEd without a BASE - takes vision to have an idea like that and massive cojones to follow it through!

Well it's not flat ground is it - wouldn't work otherwise.

The E in base stands for earth, I'm pretty sure he set from some of that.

Good jump though.

fast forward to 5.04, turn it of at 5.14. Why do these videos needed to be accompanied by drivel?

This. Way too much waffle. And one more more close ups of yet another of his deeply meaningful/ironic/philosophical/etc tats I'd a hurled. Rather impressive jump though.

My first and overwhelming thought about the whole thing was 'what a waste of a motorbike'. After that it was just melodramatic bobbins. Was more impressed with his base jump off the bridge.

I don't think that their definition of 'flat ground' is the same as mine:

That video almost cost me a set of pants. Watching vids whilst turtle heading is not recommended.

True

Now, pulling a 'chute whilst on a motorbike at speed on something like an airfield at speed would be impressive, massive air brake, shoot off the back! 😀
