Just curious if this has ever been done. I have climbed some pretty tall trees and as an arborist interested in BASE, would love to know this tidbit of BASE trivia.

I saw a youtube video of someone jumping out of a tree that was hanging over the edge of a terminal cliff, but not sure of just a top to roots jump.

I guess not.

It is with regret that I post my respects to our mate Rob Fry. A celebration of his life will be held this Thursday at Mt Riverview.

Rob suffered severe head trauma from a Skateboarding accident which he did not survive.

Great video, reminds me of jumping out of a tree as a kid. This video make you feel that flying from a tree as kid can become a true reality....:)
