[voddybull]

oiklettern is ma zuviel action

lol

[freefly1256]

O único problema, é depois de tudo, ficar pagando uma de golzinho...

[underlever1]

only to be killed by mad VW Polo driver not looking where they are going lol

[sfrance783]

wala ko kabalo

[RowboCaup]

What song was that? It sounds like Dream Theater on acid!

[spiral2012]

@RowboCaup Think it's Lines in the Sand off of Once in a Livetime...

[basejumpingmonkey]

This dick stole this idea from another base jumper

[dejota2991]

great

[Xolares]

for those who don´t talk german he said!

,, I don´t wan´t to climb down, because i alway want to jump from jesus ;)"

greetz from austria

[aseglkj]

@Xolares what the fuck is a 'greetz'?

[benwebb93]

Christ the redeemer is not too bad. I think the figure is rather wider than the chirst which is depicted in the biblical text.I wish people could get things right :( you are all misguided fools who pay admiration to this statue.

[Terrorstueck]

prusikt der da hoch??

[soapywater]

DREAM THEATER!!!

[nichtswiezuvor]

red bull is sponsoring such insane things?!

[DieFieseQualle]

@Raxe88 yes... In your dreams

[MetalxXxMayhem]

Yeah...that was not 96 ft. Its on a massive cliff ffs.

[Raxe88]

i do this 3 days a week

[LZmiljoona]

"Do jez oweklettern is ma z'fü action und..." :D weil springen ja keine Action ist.

in english:

"climb down there now is too much action and..." :D 'cause jumping is no action.

[justgotmynutoff]

if he had crashed trying to turn left at 3:02 i would have lawld

[FantastyckplastycK]

this jump was not authorized now was it lol

[rosasbellas]

I think Felix could be the next James Bond. Down to the squeal of the car tires as he made his quick get away. Amazing.

[outpulse92]

Heyyy, Dream Theater :D



[MoPar7055]

Did he hit the face of the cliff at 2:12?

[marcosbullock]

11 Dislikes from the Rio police. HAha

[WARPALORPA]

LOL at the end, scrambling to the car and screeching off..

[benyboi2k8]

Off the right hand on christ what a concept

[Chuquebra2]

I love this statue...

[TheDakinesurfahboi]

at 1;58 who else seen favela?

[blackkjackk1133]

yeah AUSTRIA !!!! felix the next termninator!!!

[misteryman765]

wow that statue is bigger than i thought!!

[Hanef95]

@misteryman765

so much bigger :D kinda HUGE

[1pokerknight]

i honestly dont think that should count as the lowest base jump... it was on top of a mountain!

[dyegunswin]

Can you imagine how surreal that must of felt? Literally being on the hand of Jesus.

[ktpa2]

@dyegunswin

It is just a block of stone...

[Gnatzl]

is this sponsored by some mobile phone company, or why are you spelling "base" in all caps?

[danomcquillan]

@Gnatzl BASE is caps cause its an acronym

[rubyredslip86]

@Gnatzl BASE = "Buildings, Antennae, Spans, and Earth" (spans = bridges, earth = cliffs)

[knickknack07]

IT is weird how people post their illegal activities for all the world to see.

[danconia3873]

Sweet peel out at the end

[multimediamel]

Felix is the man! I wanna be just like him. I can't wait to see him break the sound barrier, Fearless!

[TOoMGr]

AUSTRIA

[Buckbigchaves]

legal. mostrou até a placa............

[MsSaunataga]

oh, damn, i would like to understand what he is saying. but, jesus christ, this is aesome... and stratosjump. how on earth he is not afraid, i am afraid to fly the planes, not talking about jumping out of them or anything:). good luck, seriously, with this spasejump!!!!

[LoGGibLoGG]

lol wtf is this. his name is felix baumgärtner lol!!!!!

[howjos]

it was the lowest base jump ever at about 95 feet. I just finished reading about this. The viewing platform was directly below him and he had to do a very quick turn as the parachute was opening to avoid it.

[Cuchimanmrs]

hahaha nice, DT's Line in the Sand. Cool combination.

[8300dvo]

@Cuchimanmrs one of DT's best no doubt :)

[pgarzon79]

The song is Lines in the Sand, from Dream Theater

[24adhoc]

I suppose this is the guy who will jump from a hot air balloon 36,000 meters high.

[skydawg719]

very nice one, but not the lowest BASE jump. I've got a VHS copy of a 63' cliff jump over water where parachutes are really kinda optional. Sitting in the saddle about 10' from water.

[theDave33]

@skydawg719 upload it dude

[skydawg719]

[PR1090]

hes got a gay haircut and hes german faggot... and nobody likes the jews, especially those AEPi fags

[koui77lol]

If you dont like the Vid, GTFO And get a Life

[mastergoalkeeper]

greetings from austria

[johnboy779]

It would be a lot better without the irritating fucking music. Let the event speak for itself.

[deank09]

@johnboy779 nice, your parachute came out as you jumped. thanks for such a waste of time and advice from someone who doesnt "base jump", maybe you can find a new day job because you my friend(until I see the 120,000ft+ jump) are not suppose to be doing this.

[johnboy779]

What the fuck are you talking about, dipshit? Go stick your head back up your ass.  You're not making any sense.

[deank09]

i wasnt writing it to you just writing it on the video lil bish

[gabbercharles]

respect.

[Pusfan]

This is one of my most favorite jump spots, I usually do this every couple of weeks.

[jhunt123456]

so this is the "lowest" base jump ever recorded? Kind of a dubious achievement then...

[die996]

A low B.A.S.E. jump is maybe riskier than a HIGH jump

If you jump from a high point, you have plenty of time to activate the parachute

[deank09]

@jhunt123456 yup, Low is supposedly riskier but damn this man makes sure to open his parachute before even jumping so I dont see where he is in danger?

[jhunt123456]

haha yea exactly, i was like... well that's not that dangerous...

[conm22]

@deank09 He had to open his parachute early otherwise he would of hit the viewing platform on the tower. He needed it to steer away over the cliff face.

[ImTheSecretSquare]

As others have said, a low BASE jump is far more risky than a high BASE jump because you have much less time to fix anything that goes wrong. After you get to a height where you're going to die if you jump without a chute, higher is safer.

[kgiwa]

some people just cant wait to die...

[steinper1]

What a beautiful statue!

[sk8nmetalpsycho]

THIS GUY IS INSANE!

check out his new project!

[deank09]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO he is not insane til jumping from the edge of space, sorry.

[iflydelta1101]

I agree!

do you know the exact date when he is going to do it?

in know its this year.

[djbadlt]

isnt he doing that later on this year?

[juanqarlos94]

@sk8nmetalpsycho Skydive from space?

[anttonoo]

That was not the lowest change title already. The landing zone was like 1000m below him. How low it is is calculated to the landing zone not to the ground closest.

[gigzmcee]

am besten hättest den schirm gleich oben schon aufgespannt!

[zippulus]

Was für ne riesen Show man aus so nem billigen Sprung machen kann. Es ist weder ein schwerer Sprung, noch ein extrem niedriger Sprung. Wäre er lieber vom Christus in Portugal gesprungen, da kann man wenigstens ne Sekunde Freifall machen.

[SenseMusic7]

Ich würde erstmal selber eine base jump versuchen bevor du sagst das sowas billig ist^^

[zippulus]

Vielleicht solltest du erstmal meine Videos anschauen, bevor du so nen Post schreibst.

[WickedGravityVideo]

next time we will have to make the pigeon spikes on Jesus' arm longer and sharper to keep basejumpers off.

Oh, by the way, spectacular, but not 95 ft. - if statue was on flat gound, dude would be gone now.

[Lyph3]

@WickedGravityVideo Why does a statue of Jesus need us to do anything to keep pigeons/base jumpers off? I mean, it's Jesus! He's got all kinds of magic powers.

[juanqarlos94]

@WickedGravityVideo He'd be with Jesus (:

[neilganon]

Dream Theater! Lines in the Sand!

[marcelogaliss]

the police wouldn't bother too much. and btw "XxThereianxX" you will not find a better car within 50 miles of that car. eu morei no brasil a maior parte da minha vida, e la, si vc fala com os homem, eles deixão vc faze oque vc quizer! haha é D+!

[Wiggling]

translated: "kay guys i'm sitting here on jesus christ in the middle of rio dejanero, brazil. right down there is a bunch of securities makin troubles but i don't care. I'm gonna jump. Otherwise climbing down shits me and i'm not here to climb down - i jump!"

[XxThereianxX]

lol gets in a shitty little VW

[DELMONICOZ]

awesome!

[causeusuck]

wow amazing statue lol

[kevinzimmer69]

Was he not able to freefall further due to hitting the cliff slope below?

[skidmit2]

id say if he did it again with a wingsuit that would be possible, but since he didn't have much to curve his flight enough he had to pull the chute more quickly

[Teales]

yeh wingsuit would have enabled him to just fly right off there and go a lot further

[safewaysecurity]

no he did it to perform the lowest base jump ever

[HarleyJohansson]

LOL

[olivermichael88]

i love you purely for your choice of music!

ive never heard a video with dream theater as the soundtrack kudos and respect!

a dt fan!

[Klute187]

Einfach großartig !

[anttonoo]

This isnt low. I mean if you count from top-closest ground then wingsuit jumps are lower. When he jumped and flew with his chute there were alot of sailing

[19Stab95]

er iS soU gaiL

[vermilion111]

it is dream theater and the song is called trial of tears it's from the falling into infinity album 98!! peace

[olivermichael88]

its lines in the sand actually!

[vermilion111]

dude ur right.. i can't believe i missed that.. long live DT lol..

[arghone]

Haha, love the skid at the end.

[Steffl64]

Felix Du bist echt ein cooler Typ!

[whitepitbul87]

semplicemente aloha fratello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MabbaDeeba]

Shut the fuck up. It's the icon of Rio for chrissakes!

[Ahab2008]

It's a hippie wearing an ugly dress. I thought brazilians had some style.

[BrazilianShark]

Name: Ahab

Age: 100

I'm extremely intelligent. Probably much more than you.

For sure you are OLD CAVE MAN!!!

[Run2mee]

Seriously man, thats awesome. But not the lowest, cause that was a drop from the statue in like an alley that was like 400m down.

[tree6014]

I loved his choice of getaway vehicle and the burnout... lol

[Sendar12]

lowest base jump ever is 22 meters by: johan vervoort.

[Run2mee]

Sendar12, thats not a real base jump. The chute was packed in a bag over him. And even i could do that jump. Paratroopers in sweden does that from 40 meters at educational.

[Sendar12]

A BASE jump is jumping off fixed objects with a parachute ;) but i understand what u mean ;) grtzz

[E645]

I don´t care about Felix, but does anybody

knows the song, that is palying in the background??? Thanks for your comments.

[tenecity75]

have you found out the name of that song? thanks for feedback

[E645]

Unfortunately not. The search goes on.

I thought it could be "Dream Theater" stuff, but without result until now:-(

If you should have a clue - please post!

[tenecity75]

thanks, will also continue to search for! will keep you informed!

[Cozmozoo]

This is definitively Dream Theater. I don't know the exact name of the song though. Should be on the Images and Words or Metropolis Records.

[lucabonfi]

Eccezionale !

[lubluFROLOVA]

he's amazing...love him

[Sh1ftyX]

Lowest? Dude than was about 200m to the ground.

[austrianfischer]

Ausgezeichnet Felix.

Der Man aus Austria!!!

[ramorolb]

He is the "Leonado Da Vinci" of Basejumping!

More than respect!
