That looks friggin sweet. I've always wondered how one gets involved in base jumping. Thats crazy that he's flying so close to the cliff, how fast do you think he's going? 220km/hr?

Probably start by skydiving, then start finding bridges to jump off. Now you're involved. It is a cool video though. Not sure how fast he'd be going, but it's fast enough that if he makes a mistake it won't hurt for very long.

Didn't one of the first guys doing this recently crash into a bridge or something and die?

My question is how did they get their skis off with such ease while airborne in the beginning?

That's a pretty expensive habit to be ditching your skis every time you jump.
