MTB Base jumping – Riding a 1000 meter vertical cliff

Posted on 19 December 2011 by anders

My fellow base jumper Chad and I were hiking up for a regular base jump, and ran into these 2 norwegian MTB enthusiasts Tom and Terje this summer at Kjerag in Norway. They we hauling their 2 Trek MTB’s up a steep steep trail to get a photo on the famous Kjerag Bolten.

Next thing I know is that they joked about how cool it would be to ride it off the mountain…

Chad: I’ll do it!
Me: I will follow you and film your pleasure ride…
Terje & Tom: Great, tomorrow it is!

Please enjoy our little adventure. And as Tom and Terjes MTB team motto states:
“Alt er mulig!” – “Everything is possible!”

PS: Yes, we recovered all pieces of the wonderful Trek MTB, and it DID receive a little beating caused by a “faster than normal” decent – sorry about that!!!

    Hey man! This was so awesome! I felt butterflies in my stomach when Chad went down hahaha. So sick! Could e-mail me your full names and tell me where you come from. I would like to post this on the website of Fiets Magazine in the Netherlands, that’s the website of the biggest cycling mag here.

    Thanks and I hope to hear from you…. by the way, have you seen that Gnarly crash of Jeb Corliss! Mental!

    Bye! Dennis
