Marco Waltenspiel performs a B.A.S.E. jump from a 40m high mast of a sail boat close to the St. Tropez harbour. The world has seen some interesting BASE jumps — but this is one of the few in which ‘B’ could stand for ‘boat’. Austrian skydiver Marco Waltenspiel envisioned the idea this summer of jumping from the not-exactly-steady platform at the top of the mast of the St. Tropez-based sailing yacht. At 42m, it’s not the absolute longest BASE jump ever, but unquestionably one of the most daring.

Super thanks to Ford for making this video happen! We shot this video with two Ford escapes, started in Idaho with a full tank of gas. Filmed jumping off of the bridge at Idaho Falls, and from there, we went to Jackson Wyoming. Video wouldn’t have been possible without Ford, and the amazing athletes we got to work with.
Main athletes featured in the video are… Marshall Miller, Cade Palmer, Lauren Crepeau, Scott Rogers and Brian Mosbaugh
