99-Foot Quadruple Backflip off a Rope Swing

Comments

Mike Wilson has spent his life looking for things to jump off of. His passion took flight when he turned 18 and began base jumping. Today, he makes a living as a professional skier. But strapping himself into a ‘chute is maybe too secure and snow might be too soft. Wilson’s most extreme undertakings to date come flying off a rope swing. We’re not talking about a lazy centrifugal summercamp plop down. Mike Wilson engineers massive contraptions over treacherous terrain, grabs a rope and goes HUGE. First it was a 60-foot triple backflip into a narrow slip of the Truckee River. Then, last summer, he did a 99-foot quadruple back flip into Lake Tahoe. Then he did another and another. A crowd gathered. The video is above. Who knows what’s next?
