Jonathan Cox from Twin Falls is endeavoring to make this attempt official for the Guinness World Record and complete 65 jumps beginning at 7 PM on September 15th.
If you haven’t seen this crazy video of a trampoline BASE jump from the Perrine Bridge, it’s definitely worth the ten second watch, and it’s a testament to the craziness that’s weaved into the soul of an extreme athlete.
I'm sure of the exact age of the jumper because the video description doesn't mention it, but it's the youngest I've ever seen pull it off. I applaud whoever this kid is for having courage beyond my own.
This story is one of the saddest that I have read in a long time. A BASE jumper by the name of Austin Carey went missing after landing safely from a jump. A friend posted a tribute to Austin.
BASE jumping has become about as Idaho as potatoes. Especially living in Southern Idaho where people come from around the world to jump off the Perrine Bridge.
