Wingsuits make skiers look like pussies

I bet you don't have the balls to strap on a wing suit and do that.

You're actually right about this. BASE, and specifically wingsuit BASE, has gotten truly insane. The stuff they do is incredible. I'm sure the adrenaline surge on a proximity flight is unlike anything else. Unfortunately the margins are razor thin and this video, and many others, are dedicated to someone who got just a bit too close. I was very interested in getting into this, then decided I enjoy being alive too much.

I have quite a few friends that WS BASE. It's a mix between an adrenaline rush and complete, meditative, out of body calmness that is a very unique chemical cocktail.

One of my buddies had a couple of kids, and when we were catching up one time, I asked him "so now that you have kids, are you planning on stopping BASE?". He looked at me and shook his head and said "I just can't stop".

How many sports do you know that induce that sort of effect? I think there's just one.

You may be correct. The line between success/awesomeness and death at the higher levels is razor thin. They're moving so fast and reacting and adjusting so rapidly that the sensations must be unbelievable. I was going to say that freesolo climbing or high-end ice climbing may be similar but no, I don't think they are. When soloing the only time adrenaline spikes is if you mess up, so the goal is of course no adrenaline. High-end ice climbing (on lead) at least for me brings about some adrenaline but that's likely because I'm not all that great of an ice climber in reality.

Proximity wingsuit BASE may actually be the ultimate adrenaline sport. Anyone else have any contenders?

Honestly air racing may have base beat, idk tho. Dudes make a little mistake, g-loc, and spike their shit into the dirt all the time
