Miles Daisher is the currently most experienced base jumper on Earth, with over 2400 base jumps under his belt. Think you can beat that?
Skydivers have combined jumping out of planes with all sorts of activities, from driving a car to eating dinner. However, few of these combinations result in such a natural and catchy portmanteau as Miles’s “skyaking”. The whitewater kayak that Miles wears adds quite a bit of drag and slows his descent rate considerably – this means that his camera operators wear wingsuits so they can stay with the action.
The water landing looks like fun, but how does he get out of there without a paddle?
