Basejumpers Find Alternate Use for Wind Turbines

Thrillseekers have a new way to get their kicks: jumping off wind turbines. Since base jumpers are always looking for higher and more interesting things to jump off of, wind turbines provide an exciting new challenge. Check out the green badassery for yourself in this video, in which base jumpers climb to the top of some freaky high turbines, jump off and try to land on a target.  Amazing.

Extreme Green Sports: Bungee Jumping with Vines

If you thought normal bungee jumping with harnesses and ropes that have been extensively safety-tested is scary, check this out: tribe members (including children as young as 7 years old) jumping from wooden structures using nothing but jungle vines. Oh yeah, and there’s no net of any kind. The jumpers often graze the ground below. The slightest error could cripple or kill them.

I think I’ll stay over here on the ground, thank you.

Green Extreme Sports: Paddling Across the Atlantic in a 23 Foot Coffin (Kayak)

Greg Kolodziejzyk is a certified Green Badass. He’s an Pro Adventurer and is planning to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a human powered kayak dubbed WiTHiN. His 23 foot boat is pedal powered and is big enough for Greg, his partner, and the food and gear they’ll need for the 40 day journey (at 5-6 KPH). One person will pedal at the front of the boat while his partner sleeps or rests in the sleeping space in the rear.

I hope they have a laptop or something good to keep themselves occupied. From the looks of it, the person who isn’t paddling will be resting in space little bigger than your standard coffin. A little porn wouldn’t hurt either.
