B.A.S.E. jumping the Eiffel Tower vlog#5
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 кві 2017
- I decided to share never before seen footage from my Eiffel Tower jump. It's a bit odd looking at footage from so long ago and the quality is horrible :) But it was PAL and the tapes are 17 years old, so I was kind of happy I was able to get anything off them at all. It was super weird finally going through all that footage after all these years.

This is so insane - I love your explanation - I felt every minute of this.
Jay Swanson how can you feel time
Never enjoyed a vlog so much! Congratulations to you for finding sth that makes you so happy, and thank you for this 13 min of pure entertainment.
Jeb, you are the only person who has inspired me in my life. BASE jumping saved you, and in ways you saved me. I first came across your documentaries in 2008, I was going through some very dark times and I related so much to everything you said, you helped me find some hope and purpose in life. My passion is motorcycles, I also love to conquer fear and push the limit, I dream one day of BASE jumping too. I don't know if you'll get to see this, but thank you for inspiring me so much.
nVr Thank you :) I love hearing that someone found something positive from my work and life...
Me too!!💯
What blows my mind about Jeb is people have sang their last good byes only doing a fraction of what Jeb pulls off in his stunt and the guy is still alive and breathing today after so many run in's with close calls, i don't know if its just pure skill or just being extremely lucky but its impressive none the less ... Guys got some massive balls on him.
that was badass...world was a different place in 2000
how
@@ksksdjjd2254 pre 911 , meant less security and fucking around . After 2001 the world changed
absolutely love the insight into your life man, your videos have inspired me too and i happened across your documentaries and i know it sounds repetitive but gave me an easy search into what my life was missing. love the vlogs so keep them coming.
""I'm realy happy I took risks in my live, because they brought me to a really special places.""
Thank You Jeb for this word.
Love that introspection, amazing! Jeb, you truly are one of the those rare new youtubers who BY FAR & FOR REAL are actually interesting, unique and carry big message. Keeeep it up, keep it up!
Friend: So Jeb do you have any plans today?
Jeb: Oh yea, I'm gonna jump off the Eiffel Tower today.
you're an inspiration Jeb! last week I partook in the stage 1 of AFF skydiving course and when the time came to jump out with my instructors, I felt the same fear you felt but sadly I couldn't bring myself to jump out. That's why I am mighty impressed and inspired to overcome my fear. I'll do a tandem jump first before trying again my stage 1 jump. I hope to be like you one day, even if I dont do skydiving and base jumping, I hope to be as courageous and awesome as you sir! #respect
I love this format. It makes me feel as if I'm reliving the moment with you. Nicely done.
I started skydiving in 1976, and still skydive today at age 70. That being said, I'll guaran-damn-tee y'all there's no power in the known universe strong enough to force me into base jumping off the Eiffel Tower, nor any other base jump for that matter. I get my fill of thrills jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft at 12,000 feet thank you very much. No longer free fall either. A quick hop & pop, then a leisurely float to the Drop Zone.....or at least within a mile or two when distracted by the awesome view.
Thanks for sharing this, I've been subbed for years waiting for this type of behind the scenes type of info.
Great video Jeb! This is exactly the kind of content I was hoping for with these vlogs. Keep it up!
One of the key things for me in watching any of your footage (be it old or new, and one that keeps me coming back) is the enthusiasm in which you discuss how it's come to have a positive impact on your life. The behind-the-scenes footage and process and preparation that goes into something like this is of course...the icing on the cake! The raw emotion however is where it's truly at! I think your attitude and passion above all else far exceeds the jumps in of themselves and is the most inspiring, not just for base jumps or wing-suiting but for all facets of life. Truly remarkable, thank you for sharing your stories.
Thank you so much for this wonderful message 😀 It always makes me happy when someone appreciates the work I try to do 👍🏻
@Jeb Corliss Yes sir! Keep flying man! 🤙🦅
Jeb, this is a hell of a video. Fascinating
I love it! You are always doing something new...reinventing yourself. You are a natural, your communication skills are excellent, so these vlogs are perfect. Love ya!!! ❤
i love you
@@ksksdjjd2254 Relax bro.
but in all seriousness Jeb, thank you for sharing this intimate moment with us. I can relate your dark time as I just got over mine.
I'm so glad you uploaded this. I'm coming off the GQ video you did. This is mighty impressive, and hearing your recount of what was going through your mind was amazing. You've got some gonads, my dude. Very cool. Thank you for the video!
I've taken some risks as well, and those are the moments that sculpt me and prepare for the rest of my life, no matter at any stage. They are so beneficial to my entire being. I'll hold onto those moments until I seize. Cheers man, and keep living your life!
Absolutely love this. I want more of these kinda videos - you're a true inspiration!!
I've watched quite a few of your videos. I organised a tandem jump with my son a couple of months ago, but he was too drugged-up and spaced-out to do it. I did it with my youngest son and daughter. It was an amazing, exhilarating, fun-filled event.
I've booked another tandem for my troubled son, my youngest and myself in the hope that it will provide some therapy for my son and change his outlook and his life. Next spring, my youngest son and I are considering doing AFF.
Thanks for this and other videos as you and they are inspiring. Thank you!
your archives must be insane man, loved every second!
Yaaaaassssssss!!!! Finallyyyyy u did it, spread ur inspirational vibes through the world 🌎 love love love your vlogs they r awesome 👏
Thanks for sharing Jeb, it's awesome to see this footage and hear about how you were feeling!
Love it! It's just too bad it wasn't captured in glorious 4k for all posterity.
its good enough
This man needs to join jackass
But a more educated and calculated version tho
upscaling technology these days can do it some justice, I have heard
The video was recorded in 2000
it's truly incredible you were able to pull it off with so much fear running through your body as well as many other things you have done... like people commonly fall when trying to run away from something scary because of fear .. then talk about doing something soo complex and with such minimum error margin while experiencing overwhelming fear
The you of 17 years ago seems the same as you are now except just less theatrical. Love watching your videos. Good stuff.
I was at the Eiffel Tower yesterday and I was thinking about Jeb doing this jump truly inspirational human being. Love love 👊
Such a trip to see all this old raw footage of you building your name...thanks Jeb!
OMG. You're SUCH an inspiration! Thank you for your word's at the end especially. As, I'm in that place right now.
Such an amazing insight on how a extreme sport can truly be like therapy. For me it’s running. It gets me out of my head and has had a profound impact on my life in a positive way. It makes you realize that you need to WAKE UP AND WIN everyday.
First time seeing this man! The footage was awesome! But, what u said after it.. about base jumping saving ur life, was even more awesome! Really makes sense. It's hard to find who u are in this world. You've really made me stop and think about a lot stuff. Thanks Jeb. Keep on rocking and love seeing Aly progressing and u teaching her! Thats amazing! \m/ Take care \m/
Thank you :)
Keep up with the quality vlogs Jeb, the channel will grow in time!
Amazing how much effort it takes to free yourself from fear, you are my superhero, you have achieved something almost nobody is able to do
I'm glad you took risks as well, Jeb. Really inspiring stuff :D
you're so inspiring! please keep vlogging i love your work and stories
Thanks for sharing Jeb!!! Keep living your dreams and sharing them with us, please!
I'm glad you're alive, and doing well. Stay that way! :)
This footage is amazing, thanks for sharing this Jeb!
Great to hear you talk through this after all this time, I hang-glide so can imagine to some degree the fear you went through before jumping, but still I know I wouldn't have it in me to make that jump.
Great video. Watched many of your jumps love the wingsuit jumps.
Jeasus. Great job bro. Keep pushing forward. Big fan, all involved!!!!
Hey Jeb I have been watching your stories for a few years now. You have had a pretty Epic life. Thank you for sharing it. Your stories have been a big influence for me to start my solo dives. So again thank you. Your new vlogs are also very cool. Its been nice to see the behind the scenes on videos I saw a few years ago. Please keep it up. Take care.
Is there a behind the scenes story on the Golden Gate? Just curious.
Thank YOU! Your most profound quote that I live by..."You're going to die one way or another, so you shouldn't let that stop you from doing what you love."
awesome footage with these Jeb. love seeing the old footage. are you doing any wing suit jumps or taking a break from it perhaps?
Just got through this chapter in the book and I'm stoked to see the footage. Really incredible
I've been twice in Paris.. Second time I did enjoy the view from the top of the tower.... Really beautiful view... Do you think to jump again from there?
great great vlog Jeb. very authentic stuff right here
Absolutely amazing and unique footage.
PS: Is there any chance you can run the PAL footage through some recent de-interlace software?
I can only imagine how scary that jump was! I know depression all too well. Skydiving saved my life many years ago. I remember watching The Jeb Corliss story years ago and I was like holy shit me too! Lol but true. Thanks for sharing brother 👍
Loving the Vlogs. Keep them coming.
Such quick thinking to grab the camera at the end. Very impressive jump badass!!
never seen that one but like usual awesome just like the rest keep it going man
Thanks for sharing a little of the preparations behind this jump !
Great vlog and great explanations, Jeb!! :)
this is absolutely fascinating footage, well done
I'll just stick to my antidepressant medications.
Great footage, Jeb. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video Jeb keep them coming bro
This is crazy. That dude that tried to jump and fly off the Eiffel Tower back in the 1900s would be proud, can’t recall his name
@Tommy Lundy: I'm pleased to answer your question Mr.Lundy. The gentleman who designed & attempted the first parachute jump off the Eiffel Tower on Feb.4th, 1912 was Franz Reichelt. Reichelt was an Austrian born French tailor also known as the Flying Tailor due to his successful innovation's of early parachutes for which he used weighted dummies to drop from his 5th story apartment; however, after his highly publicized jump of 187ft. from the first platform of the Eiffel Tower went terribly awry, resulting in Franz splattering his internal organs all over the cement below due to sudden deceleration, he became known as Flat Franz or Bloody Red Reichelt.
I sincerely hope this clarification has been of value. In the future Mr.Lundy, feel free to ask me anything, anything at all. It's what I do. I get high, and I know things.
@@nerblebun thanks dude. The footage of his death always stuck with me and I’m sure he was out there somewhere smiling at the fact that these guys basically achieved his dream decades later..
@@nerblebun do you BASE yourself?
@@tommylundy2495: No sir. I started skydiving in 1976, and today at the age of 70 I still skydive & fly my power para-glider trike; however, It took only ONE base jump in 1980 to realize throwing myself out of a perfectly flying aircraft was more than enough to fill my need for thrill.
@@nerblebun wow 70 years! I’m 23 and it’s on my bucket list to jump out of plane. Then at least one BASE (though I say that as I sit on my comfy couch with a beer) haha! Keep on keeping on dude I’m sure you have some crazy stories. From the states?
Jeb, you're a total gift. Thank you
Great series! :-)
Yet another awesome video......
your videos are very inspirin and informative. keep up the good work.
Great vid. Keep em comin' Jeb :)
Jeb! Thank's for sharing! We are an idol not only for the courage of dealing with such challenge. But for being able to fight and win over depression. By the way, I'm thinking of how scaried those children in the stairs were when they met you two with helmets and equipments haha!
Your r an idol*
Daniel Vicente Thank you 😊Always makes me happy to hear people like the work I try to do 😊
Wow! Year 2000 and these guys were climbing structures and base jumping with head cams??!!! Absolute pioneers and way ahead of the time!!!!
Thats awesome Jeb ! The quality are pretty good ! I think its a good cameras Because at this year the cameras are very bad aha
Probably, the best one in base jump and wingsuit mode, there are so much people that think things like "you are crazy or you are a suicide" but yes I am crazy because this is my passion and I can feel my life from another point of view.
A hug from Spain Jeb.
Amazing to hear you getting emotional at something that meant to u a lot and this video it’s freaking ape because of that ✌️
so epic brother. great stuff
Jeb, that was effen AWESOME!
keep the Vlogs!! they are frigin awesome
What did security and the authorities do to you guys? Fines? How were you released so quickly?
Awesome footage!
I hope I don't have to start basejumping in order to feel better in general :/
You’re always intrepid Mr Jeb Corliss, amazing!
Jeb - lucky you did this in 2000. I was there earlier this week, security is now huge. You can't even get beneath the tower, never mind up it, without putting your bags through X-ray and being patted down
you are awesome and inspiring :)
How did you overcome that petrifying sensation? was it all the preparation, planning and resources spent for accomplishing it? or was it something else?
Thank you for the real raw emotion at the end. I can empathize and I want the same : ) Sucks being where you were - I'm happy you're still here bro :)
Awesome stuff bro if I had all the right stuff and the coin I would be a full time skydiver... I don't think I would have it in me to BASE jump 👌
That's awesome man. You are my hero.
Awesome video and insight; thanks for sharing
Life sure does unravel itself in strange ways. I'm 49, relative to 3 British Paratroopers, and will soon do my first base jump..can't wait. The zen in me is crying out, go have fun!
I know an other Portuguese Base Guy who is saying almost the same like you ♥️
Ps
Did you get your rigs & helmet back???
So awesome, I can only hope to feel just 1% of what you were feeling after that!
Is it still possible to do that jump?
Good modest guy..but you flipped off that thing as scared as you say you were man!
Awesome, what a killer jump.
Blows my mind. I know you’ll not like this Jeb, but I’m going to have to basejump in my life as long as I don’t have kids.
Man, that was a risky one, no room for error
Awesome man!
After Jeb Bush, I'd never thought that the name Jeb could be carried by a genuinely cool dude.
You just rehabilitated the name Jeb for me.
Man That was in the year 2000 n now it's 2021 ... Jeez 21yrs n still gold 🏆
Such a beautiful rush. I jumped off the top in 1984 with my dear friend, Amanda Tucker. Paris isn't Paris anymore but the tower.........
Epic landing of gator flip ... This one's for record books baby...... Legend
fantastic jump guys. thanks for that
literally BADASS
nice footage!
you are the man. My hands are sweating. I'm jumping tomorrow! On my 14th jump
