In relation to itīs population, Norway has the most BASE-jumpers per capita worldwide. No wonder that this country now presents one of the most craziest BASE-movies ever made. The name "1^st BASE video" might be a little confusing because the late Carl Boenish, who has initiated the BASE-movement and died on a BASE-jump at Norway in 1984, has already produced a video entitled "BASE-tape 1" 20 years ago. To make a difference, letīs just call the new video "1^st BASE of Norway", although the guys had travelled around the world to jump whatever was jumpable: a 90 m crane at Goeteborg, an apartment-house at Miami or a skyscraper under construction at Shanghai. Further highlights are the leap from the Oslo City Hall and a jump out of a hotel-window at the Oslo Plaza Hotel.
We see a lot of cliff-jumps from the Trollveggen, Unionsveggen and from the Kjerag: single leaps, group-jumps, memorial-jumps, backloops, frontloops, turns (!), with wing suits, with smoke and riding down a plastic sleigh. We can also watch a few retreaters. Furthermore we enjoy a jump from a tree overhanging a cliff near Chamonix (F) and a tandem-BASE-jump from the Karlskratind, when the tall passenger is running from the cliff with the tandem-master strapped to his back.
