Video: Irish-based BASE jumpers do one of the most breath-taking jumps we have ever seen (NSFW)

Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the pretty special ride down…

Three BASE jumpers came together to film a spectacular jump off the top of Monte Brento in Italy and the results are simply fantastic.

Irish-based jumpers Matthias von Bargen and Hugo Stiglitz along with Norwegian jumper Pal Rydningen Saltvedt managed to capture themselves doing a quintuple front flip during their free fall.

Currently living in Dundalk in Louth, Matt is quite an experienced adrenaline junkie and has partaken in over 200 skydives and more than 100 BASE jumps before this one from Italy four weeks ago.

We’re not going to lie to you, we have to fight back a wave of nausea as we climb the extremely steep steps to JOE Towers so we are even more impressed by this video from Matt and company.

We will also say that if it was us up there on top of Monte Brento, we would be holding onto the nearest tree looking something like this…

We urge you to take two minutes out of your day to appreciate this great video from the boys…
