I only witnessed the end, but it looked like he stuck the landing.

I think he was trying to break the jump height record recently set by a windsurfer in the Gorge.

Looks like he got towed up from a boat with a paragliding tow rig 750'. He did it the smart way with a front mount reserve parachute. Awesome!

That was my first thought since I couldn't see it in the video. Need a reserve system.

Love it when a plan comes together and goes off perfectly...

Just a disclaimer, I am in no way a Professional BASE Jumper... Little misinformation there by the Editor of the video. Just a guy who really likes to BASE...
