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!

His jump must have been very cool, but no less then a nightmare for people w8ting for him to jump.The time was 1 pm and he jumped around 2 15, the crowd got roasted in the sun just to watch a 10 second jump.
What a waste of time.

It wasn’t a waste of time for everyone. Lots of people are willing to pay hundreds of dollars & perhaps wait for hours to see top athletes like Usain Bolt finish 100 m run in less than 10s, which might be considered a sheer waste for some. In this case, it cost nothing for enthusiasts to watch the rare feat in Kuwait. And to be ‘roated in the sun’ during winter is fun.
