ProBASE Track Race 2011,
Next up we will hold an exclusiv exhibition event on the island of Symi, near Rhodes, in Greece! Dates have been set for August 20th to 22nd 2010. For more info, click here!
The event was proposed by Stratos, possibly the only Greek BASE jumper, who opened the spot and has good contacts to the local community on the island. This is an invitation extended to the international BASE community by the mayor of the island who is taking care of lodging, food and transportation of all the jumpers. BASE jumping is virtually unknown in Greece and this event will help to promote the sport and introduce it to the country. The jump is a 230 meter cliff with a huge beach to land on. The island of Symi is a precious place near the tourist hotspot of Rhodes and is only reachable by boat.
BASE jumping is the activity of parachuting from a fixed object as opposed to skydiving, which is parachuting from an aircraft. Fixed objects can be buildings, antennas, smoke stacks, bridges, power towers, cliffs, cable cars, dams or any other object high enough to jump from.
