Motorcycle Base Jumping, This Is How It's Done + Video
Brad O’Neal had a vision: he wanted to ride a dirtbike fast enough and high enough to be able to BASE jump from it at its peak. It’s certainly not a new idea, as Travis Pastrana attempted this feat years ago, jumping into the Grand Canyon. O’Neal’s vision is different: he wants to be the first to BASE jump on flat ground. Of course there were detractors, nay sayers and those who simply didn’t see his vision. O’Neal didn’t care. In this documentary short, follow O’Neal’s path as he attempts to live out one of his childhood dreams.
Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
