Journey to the Center – Base Jumping Film

Submitted by admin on March 15, 2009 – 10:13 pmNo Comment

           Three world renowned base jumpers, Jeb Corliss (USA), Chris “Douggs” Mcdougall (Australia), Paul Fortun (Norway), traveled 10,000 miles across the globe seeking Tian Keng, or “The Heavenly Pit.” They document their trip in a cool film that was recently showcased at the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour, and received rave reviews.
           ”Millions of years old, half a mile deep, waiting for eons to test the endurance, skill and courage of the men who dare to parachute into her heart.” The perfect place for these guys to showcase their talents.
