The next day Will took me to 800 feet in a hot air balloon for my first low altitude jump with BASE gear. The haze looked like a cloud below, but not the kind you'd want to fall through because somewhere in the middle of it was the ground. That jump was truly an adrenaline rush as was the second jump that day. Bridge Day at the New River Gorge was our next stop. Will and I made three bridge jumps that day and interviewed with Dan Cortez.
Bridge day is an incredible event.
The jumps are legal and hundreds are made while an audience of thousands cheers on. Finally, we journied to Venzuela to jump from the tallest waterfall in the world, Angel Falls. Sitting quietly at the top of the falls, peering over the edge, the view is nothing less than breathtaking. The jump was a spiritual moment, a taste of living.
