World Record BASE Jump

National Geographic’s Adventure Magazine named ten people as Adventurers of the Year, and invite you to rate each of them to help them determine the readers’ choice top adventurer. One of the profiles features 37-year-old Dean S. Potter, rock climber, tightrope walker, and BASE jumper. Potter set a world record in 2009 by jumping off a high face of Switzerland’s Eiger in a wingsuit and sailing for almost three minutes! LINK: Neatorama



The trip was 9,000 feet vertically and four miles horizontally. Links to all adventurers. Link to voting. LINK to video.
