Slim (R.I.P) A BASE Life - Awesome BASE Jumping Footage

[reabase]

legend !!!



[dannyfsr]

take it he hit the floor on this one?

[imnot15im84]

anyone got the vid of him dying?

[Catapultandclingfilm]

@imnot15im84

no, cos he died in a hospital about 3 days after his last jump.

[djblahblah]

how did he die? did his parachute not deploy correctly?

[licespray]

@djblahblah I think I read something about having a twist in the line, and hitting another building..

He was unconcious for around 2 weeks before passing away. (Days arent exact, i cant recall exactly what i read)

Rest in Peace, most of us can only dream of doing what he did.

[natebooce]

i dont get it... all your doing is falling, if you need to experience near death too, "live" then fair play all the power too you

[SPINO495]

hey isnt base jumping illigal in the usa?

[VossenDesign]

very awesome video, RIP Slim you're awesome!

[122mja]

Best base jumo video.

[122mja]

Best base jump video.

[lynn125lynn]

Was that Dwain Weston @ 2:00?

[Lehmann108]

It seems like it's inevitable, but all these guys eventually die not through any fault of their own, but they open into a tension knot or a line twist and there's no altitude to recover.

[natebooce]

@Lehmann108 no fault of their own? They jumped off a cliff hahahaa

[StickLightMusic]

how did he die? =(

[healaryclenton]

jumped off a bridge and hit the ground. whoops

[SealedBMX]

@healaryclenton he actually hit a building, but yeah...

[clamb147]

Probably the best way to end your life, and I'm not saying that sarcasticly. Doing the shit you love, and living your life to the fullest. Forget the buisness office, this is how we are supposed to live.

[hellerase]

@clamb147 very true!

[natebooce]

@clamb147 nope its a retarded way to die throwing yourself off a cliff, its natural selection

[TheeGoldenOreo]

@natebooce dont be mad that you are a pussy. its ok

[nikai123456789]

my opinion he was one of the best.... he's up there right now no doubt with dwain weston and a carton of beers ! thanx for the inspiration mate !

[ReBootLord]

er If anyone could give me a link to itt =D

[ReBootLord]

Wat is the Ending Song called?

Anyone Kno?

[AVIVCHOU]

@ReBootLord

MM9 by trains =]

[AVIVCHOU]

@ReBootLord

[artismiezitis]

@ReBootLord MM9 - Trains

[chicano117]

At least the guy died doing what he loved, which is not what many people will do. But seriously everybody lives and everybody dies. We ALL LIVE. It's all perspective. Jumping off a building is not living; it's an unecessary risk. The guy could have lived another 40 years. Now his atoms are energy.

[SamuelKroell11]

slim was so amazing!!!

can't wait to start skydiving

[BOYLOBOYLO]

how could 15 cunts click the dislike button , that was one of the best videos ever , its inspiration to live life

[standubz]

Incredible. RIP Slim. Truly Living Life To Its Full Potential.

[oReDeFiNeDx]

I just thought of something. 3:21 how do you get back out lol

[Longway2fall]

@oReDeFiNeDx A gas powered winch pulls the jumpers on a rope to the top of the cave. Look at 3:30, this is a shot while hanging from the rope.

[monkeybuttgut]

@oReDeFiNeDx ik i was thinkin that too i guess the climb out?

[GankityGank]

RIP bro. Definitely one of the few people that actually experienced all life had to offer.

[wiimaster10]

much respect. rip

[guitarguru1191]

wow this is one of the coolest base jumping videos i've ever seen. It's amazing how one man can do some much in the span of only a decade or a little more. You are a great man and will be missed!! RIP

[Sendar12]

For all of u guys who wonder how he died:

Simpson was injured when the parachute lines on his wing suit became twisted. He landed on the roof of an adjacent building. Simpson fractured his skull and went into coma, not recovering from it.

R.I.P.

[Insertnameheretoo]

R.I:P. dude awesome vid *thumbs up*

[teddasj]

R.I.P Slim.. you was awesome !

[Mihawkler]

[limegnirts]

does anything similar to Cypres 2 exist for base jumpers?

[troyapple]

nice video! One of the few people who truly does what he loves! You can tell by his attitude. Happy!

[mmmarinakis]

Great video. Seemed like he had a great sense of humor and found great joy in the basejump. What happened on the final jump? Chute malfunction, air shift, etc.?

[VIT3RRORIV]

Rest in peace slim, massive respect

[whoppadonk]

does anybody know the names of these songs..... he lived off the edge -RESPECT to that ... awesome

[mmmarinakis]

[bcpeterbuilt]

Hey when it says 25 secound delay , what do you mean? 25 secounds till hit the ground that would make sense if it 5000 ft, . or 25 secounds apart from eath other?, that cave base jump was nuts, and good camera angles, rip Slim Didnt know you, but you have inspried me to do Sum of your jumps

[brotherlybrother11]

no 25 seconds till he opened his parachute

[Shortpaulio]

Pretty sure the delay is how long they wait to pull their chute.

[SupaG87]

could anyone plz tell me where to get that mm9 song?

[joshbanford]

its hard to get it on the net as they are a little known Aussie band although i got it from JB-HIFI

[RetroTune]

RIP

[marka1236]

he was the best and died having more fun than most people could dream of,

[cceu79]

[FearThePinkBlueMist]

What a dumb motherfucker.

[ianbrooks]

wooow youre a bitch

[bettyboop392]

you're an asshole, and probably boring.

[xXKnightShiftXx]

you can die livin' or you can die dyin'...

Slim obviously died livin'

Keep flying high bro...peace for you was not rest, but rather beastin', so beast in peace my brother.

[Dhragonfly]

excellent video R.I.P. Roland Simpson

[UnearthlySounds]

So did he die because his parachut didn't work?

[montgerson64]

No... It worked, but the line twists difficult him to deviate from building and he crashed...

[fistteam]

I guess his nickname went from "Slim" to "Tiny" in the end!!...Heee! Heeee!

[RoberTraumA]

he died living a dream who could ask for anything better?

[BIGMAC1227]

allhopeisgone19994 and graverobber35 can suck my asshole ur a fag ur like making fun of the guy u have no souls......ass holes

[graverobber35]

SO , he tempted fate and lost. You people think that is smart? I have an automatic pistol you can use to play Russian roulette.

[allhopeisgone19994]

wtf is ur problem

[acccrew01]

Every second you breathe you tempt fate. You wanna die while you sleep, or die doing what you love? We all gotta die, So pick your poison.

Keep hiding in your padded room, You do not understand what it means.. TO LIVE!

[IamDaReAlSeaN]

when you live in a padded room, and are brought up in a bubble, you do not live, you only survive. ''never underestimate a man with ambition, for he will act on them conciously, while those who dream in the dark recesses of their mind shall never experience what it is to accomplish something.''

[cceu79]

3:27 INSANEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[JohnFrusciante70]

[vgrozdev]

Even dead he inspires!

[hookitbigger]

Shit I quit jumping in the Spring of 2004 I didnt know Slim died. That sucks to find out. Oh well at least he did what he loved and died living large.

[turboed99]

great video, he looked like an inspirational character

RIP

[droznig]

Slim you are still a legend, and still remembered in the base community of Australia. You inspired a whole generation of base jumpers.

R.I.P.

[daniel52587]

How in the hell did he recover enough to land a parachute?! That looks like some serious surgery.

[kraftdinner35]

Gravity 1.... Prick Zero..

[a0p0a070]

[cceu79]

AWESOME...intense and powerful as hell!

[whakatumonkeymagic]

Mad respect, sick video. To phantom planet BE YOU OWN GOD

[Hurdles45]

very respectful and honorable of you guys to make this video r.i.p Slim

[phantomplanet]

i'm going to get soo much bashing for this..but when got hunt the 1st time,maybe god was trying to say something?

[lenaisabel9]

there is no god you fucktard!

[phantomplanet]

I ARE GAWD that was 2 months ago why waste your time? comment on the video,not me,disrepectful person.

[phantomplanet]

i meant hurt lol

[seandeyoung]

What saddens me the most is that this guy gave up the majority of his life for an addition to adrenaline. The way he played it was extraordinary that he lived as long as he did. Amazing Spirit but a senseless tradegy! Very sad that he is gone!

[velophilercl]

Gave up the majority of his life? huh. He lived a life worth living. He found happiness and excitement through a passion and fire. The real question is, what kind of life do you want to live? I don't think he'd change things if he could.

[clubnebula]

its calle watch you fly 4virus....:(R.I.P.)Roland Simpson.Have a good time in BASEjumping Heaven!:)

[crazyknight2008]

how did he die?. the clip never mentioned it...but yeah what a life he led very inspirering

[THEUNDYINGDESIGN]

[kkornikk]

many machines on nine - trains

[frbe0101]

He doing the endless reverse sky dive now. Good way to go: quick and on your feet. I wish him luck on his journey.

[Dr3adL0cKRasta]

He died when he jumped from Jin Mao Tower.

The leashes of his parachute tangled and so he broke his brain and he died in hospital.

That sadden me because he was an idol for me.

(sry for bad english)

[skydivej]

He was doing a wingsuit jump from Jim Mao, had line twists and had a building strike where he hit his head. He was taken to hospital, but had his life support turned off several days later.

He was a great guy and I'm yet to see anyone pull off pikes (while BASE jumping) as beautifully as he did.

[tovalzky]

that's what I called enjoy what you can enjoy.. Thanks for the video, man. inspiring...

[yos2481]

At least he lived a life he loved.

taking it one leap off of a cliff at a time...

[Icemanrussian]

[97459579]

13reak4you is just a nerd who spends all hs time on youtube fagart wanker dickhead asshole fuckface cocksucker

[asusmobo123]

A life well lived is all in the mind. It really doesn't matter how you live your life, so long as there is happyness in your heart. Read a book, masterbate, solder, prison, office job, poor/middle class/rich... adrenaline can be had in all of these. If the religious people are right, cool for them. If not, they won't know any different.

Finally, do these people jump for themselves or the camera? It's a good question applicable to many other sports and makes one reflect inward.

[13reak4you]

akimjjb, tennis is gay and is ment for women and money inriched fags who chose to waste their time hitting a bright yellow ball across sun hot turmac, you dont like my opinion on the sport do you, yet you cant change it so plz consider what your doing by insulting the sport your no more mature than the little kid your arguing with, as for the you acting like a hard ass on youtube just makes you look even dumber to think you have kids.

i hope not

[xXsnitchyXx]

R.I.P Slim

[13reak4you]

lqsmiley is right, would you rather spend your life loving what you do doesnt have to be base jumping, or would you spend your life trying to dodge the inevedible while you waste that precious time of whatever you have left, yes its true he could have stayed away from the sport for awhile or maybe even stop, but the truth is its an addiction people who base jump got that adreline rush they need to be satisfied, it just comes about that way, not everyone dies in base jump you just have to be safe

[13reak4you]

R.I.P

Dwayn Wright and Slim

[OneSkiWonder]

Did that jump in China kill him or was that his last good base jump?

[GranitBit]

that jump killed him

[youie748]

Was his tragic death a result of pulling the chute to low?

[Croatch]

No. Bad opening in a wingsuit, into a building...apparently.

[whoiam1987]

he die, and it's not dwain wright who jump with in him from kl tower in malaysia it's Dwain weston.there were two gods of base jumps.Slim for his charism and his style, and dwain, and aerobatic god///sorry for my english
