And I used to think jumping out of perfectly good airplanes was fun....never tried Base jumping, but ya....I wouldn't mind trying that...HOORAHHH...

did they glide from the rocks or is it just the camera angle?

They glide. I think it's about a 10 degree down angle that they achieve. Pretty decent!

I'd try it, but I don't think I have the upper body strength anymore.

Gide ratio is 2.5:1. Or for every meter they fall, they move forward 2.5 meters. So a 22° slope.

I'd try it out of a plane, but base jumping is nuts. Going way too fast, way too close to the ground for me!

WDHIII was playing BTO - You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet right before I watched this video.
