| Vertical Visions maintains an extensive digital video library of BASE jumping, skydiving, and other aerial sports. Since 1993, we've captured thousands of BASE jumps on video ranging from New York City building jumps to riding a motorized scooter off a 450' cliff. We maintain a variety of cameras ranging from 3CCD miniDV's to the smallest body mounted microcameras. Over the years, we've designed, fabricated, and tested a variety of proprietary helmet and body mounted POV camera platforms that have permitted us to capture footage that has no competition. Please review our resume for a list of the programs that have aired our video.
If you need stock footage of BASE jumpers leaping from buildings, antennas, bridges, cliffs, or if you have a specific object or location, chances are we've been there and captured it on digital video. Please Contact Us for any video usage inquiries. Vertical Visions will be happy to work with you to get the stock video footage you are looking for. A small sample of the hundreds of hours of footage we've accumulated is available below. |
| BUILDING BASE JUMPS |
450' Building in New York City
Three jumpers take turns leaping from the roof of a 450' building in downtown Manhattan in New York City. Camera angles include helmet-cameras facing forward and backward, from the roof top, and from a window in the building near where the canopies opened. The entire sequence from gaining roof access to the post-jump celebration is captured on video in this rare New York City BASE jump.

Bridge Day at the New River Gorge Bridge
Bridge Day is the largest extreme sports event in the world, catering to 400+ adrenaline-hungry BASE jumpers who hurl themselves off the 876' single arch bridge.

We have every possible camera angle including exit point, ground, air-to-air, falling through the steel, interviews, rhino-cams, ankle-cams, wrist-cams, from the top of RV's, etc. |
486' Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls, Idaho
One of the few legal bridges to BASE jump in the United States, the Perrine Bridge is the most jumped object in the world. We've captured Nestea Plunges, 7-ways, backflips, intentional water landings, 80' cutaways over the water, "Roll Over" or "McConkey" flips, "Tards", "Quads", and just about every type of BASE jump you can think of at this site. |
| EARTH (CLIFF) BASE JUMPS |
Motorized Go-Ped Scooter Cliff Jumps
Probably the most insane stunt we've pulled off so far. Jason and Cliff ride motorized Go-Ped scooters off a 450' cliff and then deploy their parachutes. The scooters were attached to their right foot via a specially designed harness. Multiple camera angles and stills are available of this amazing jump. |
