HOWTO: Ride Off a Cliff
February 11, 2007 in Uncategorized by lkahney
Base jumper Stefan Oberlander is the first person to land a bas jump on a mountain bike. Stefan says:
“Keeping the bike and landing on it changes everything. If you keep it, you enter a totally different level of commitment as you must attach the bike to you; with all the possibilities for entanglements of your gear and only 1 parachute quite a step.
So far, everybody who has tried Base-jumping on a bike dropped it due to the complexity and the dangers involved in keeping the bike during freefall, deployment and landing.”
