Chris Mcdougall uploaded a video onto YouTube which he shot himself when he BASE jumped from Hamra Tower this past weekend. This is what he had to say about it:

the raw hand cam and head cam from the first ever base jumps in Kuwait. the exit point was very bad and unstable so i kicked like a bitch and i got a big booga on the camera and on my face on opening. But the one handed landing made up for the other clumsy stuff. More to come in the Middle East….Game on 🙂 P.S. Thanks to Camco Global events for making it happen!

I’ve always been curious to see inside so this was cool. [YouTube]

Two guys have been experimenting for some time now trying to shoot aerial photography in Kuwait and they’ve recently cracked it and released their first video. They went to the Al-Farisi Kite Festival and using an RC helicopter were able to shoot the video above. It’s a really cool perspective. [YouTube]

Gulf Run 8 was held late last month and the video of the trip just came out a few days back. The video was filmed and put together by my friend TJC [YouTube]

The company Parente Fireworks who were part of the Kuwait Fireworks Guinness World Record have uploaded two “making of” videos onto YouTube. The first video on top contains some behind the scene shots including ones from the control room during the event. The video below on the other hand summarizes that actual fireworks event down to around 5 minutes.

No clue what it was about. [YouTube]

Since we’re on the subject of violence, there was another stabbing at Avenues as well this past Friday. [Link]

I promise this will be the last post related to the fireworks show but I really have to share this video. It’s the fireworks show shot from the perspective of the kite flyers who took part in the event. I swear one scene reminded me of the movie Apocalypse Now. [YouTube]

Kuwait 50 – Fireworks Day – HD from YAHYA ALREFAEI on Vimeo.

What I loved about this video is the fact it revolves around the human emotions during the fireworks show and not the actual fireworks.

You can watch the first half of the show in the video above and the second half below. Both videos taken from KTV1.

I think TJC Films has been releasing on average a video a week which is just crazy. This week he released a video of En Mexico, a small Mexican restaurant located in Jabriya which I posted about early in the year. Makes me hungry. You can watch the video above or on [YouTube]

The Kuwait Science Club sent a Kuwaiti flag into space using a weather balloon. They recorded the whole thing with a GoPro camera and you can watch the footage above. [YouTube]
