BASE in the shortest time

[Tom Aiello]

I thought BASE 404 was a 4 jump wonder. Is this correct? I think DM and/Or NDi would know. This was pretty old-school as well.

My understanding was the DM got him a number in 5 total parachute jumps. One airplane tandem followed by four BASE jumps.

Of the 54 people who provided their data, the minimum number of days to completion was 49. Of the 57 people who provided their data, the minimum number of jumps was 4. These are two different people.

I know of one woman who did BASE (UK) in 4 jumps and then gave up [BASE] jumping. This was during the fury in a skydiving rig day...

BASE 404 did BASE in 7 jumps.

I've heard of plenty of folks who've done the BASE circuit in 24 hours, although they tended to be already experienced BASE jumpers. That was mostly in the 1990s, and it seems, not many endeavor to do that much anymore.
