B.A.S.E. jumping the Eiffel Tower vlog#5

I decided to share never before seen footage from my Eiffel Tower jump. It's a bit odd looking at footage from so long ago and the quality is horrible :) But it was PAL and the tapes are 17 years old, so I was kind of happy I was able to get anything off them at all. It was super weird finally going through all that footage after all these years.

[@JaySwanson]

This is so insane - I love your explanation - I felt every minute of this.

[@olivernt2667]

Jay Swanson how can you feel time

[@MasterPranks]

Never enjoyed a vlog so much! Congratulations to you for finding sth that makes you so happy, and thank you for this 13 min of pure entertainment.

[@ItsSneakyBeaky]

Jeb, you are the only person who has inspired me in my life. BASE jumping saved you, and in ways you saved me. I first came across your documentaries in 2008, I was going through some very dark times and I related so much to everything you said, you helped me find some hope and purpose in life. My passion is motorcycles, I also love to conquer fear and push the limit, I dream one day of BASE jumping too. I don't know if you'll get to see this, but thank you for inspiring me so much.

[@jebcorliss]

nVr Thank you :) I love hearing that someone found something positive from my work and life...

[@vistakay]

Me too!!💯

[@dacoup5955]

What blows my mind about Jeb is people have sang their last good byes only doing a fraction of what Jeb pulls off in his stunt and the guy is still alive and breathing today after so many run in's with close calls, i don't know if its just pure skill or just being extremely lucky but its impressive none the less ... Guys got some massive balls on him.

[@Podchmurze]

""I'm realy happy I took risks in my live, because they brought me to a really special places."" Thank You Jeb for this word.

I started skydiving in 1976, and still skydive today at age 70. That being said, I'll guaran-damn-tee y'all there's no power in the known universe strong enough to force me into base jumping off the Eiffel Tower, nor any other base jump for that matter. I get my fill of thrills jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft at 12,000 feet thank you very much. No longer free fall either. A quick hop & pop, then a leisurely float to the Drop Zone.....or at least within a mile or two when distracted by the awesome view.

[@outdoorinwithzach]

but in all seriousness Jeb, thank you for sharing this intimate moment with us. I can relate your dark time as I just got over mine.

[@josyley4210]

Friend: So Jeb do you have any plans today? Jeb: Oh yea, I'm gonna jump off the Eiffel Tower today.

[@samiaalto1935]

Love that introspection, amazing! Jeb, you truly are one of the those rare new youtubers who BY FAR & FOR REAL are actually interesting, unique and carry big message. Keeeep it up, keep it up!

[@J3tS15]

you're an inspiration Jeb! last week I partook in the stage 1 of AFF skydiving course and when the time came to jump out with my instructors, I felt the same fear you felt but sadly I couldn't bring myself to jump out. That's why I am mighty impressed and inspired to overcome my fear. I'll do a tandem jump first before trying again my stage 1 jump. I hope to be like you one day, even if I dont do skydiving and base jumping, I hope to be as courageous and awesome as you sir! #respect

[@MrPolishboy1985]

absolutely love the insight into your life man, your videos have inspired me too and i happened across your documentaries and i know it sounds repetitive but gave me an easy search into what my life was missing. love the vlogs so keep them coming.

[@Joe-ff9ck]

One of the key things for me in watching any of your footage (be it old or new, and one that keeps me coming back) is the enthusiasm in which you discuss how it's come to have a positive impact on your life. The behind-the-scenes footage and process and preparation that goes into something like this is of course...the icing on the cake! The raw emotion however is where it's truly at! I think your attitude and passion above all else far exceeds the jumps in of themselves and is the most inspiring, not just for base jumps or wing-suiting but for all facets of life. Truly remarkable, thank you for sharing your stories.

[@jebcorliss]

Thank you so much for this wonderful message 😀 It always makes me happy when someone appreciates the work I try to do 👍🏻

[@Joe-ff9ck]

@Jeb Corliss Yes sir! Keep flying man! 🤙🦅

[@sirbuster223]

I'm so glad you uploaded this. I'm coming off the GQ video you did. This is mighty impressive, and hearing your recount of what was going through your mind was amazing. You've got some gonads, my dude. Very cool. Thank you for the video! I've taken some risks as well, and those are the moments that sculpt me and prepare for the rest of my life, no matter at any stage. They are so beneficial to my entire being. I'll hold onto those moments until I seize. Cheers man, and keep living your life!

[@SeanTheMarshall]

Great video Jeb! This is exactly the kind of content I was hoping for with these vlogs. Keep it up!

[@keithlynch7239]

I've watched quite a few of your videos. I organised a tandem jump with my son a couple of months ago, but he was too drugged-up and spaced-out to do it. I did it with my youngest son and daughter. It was an amazing, exhilarating, fun-filled event. I've booked another tandem for my troubled son, my youngest and myself in the hope that it will provide some therapy for my son and change his outlook and his life. Next spring, my youngest son and I are considering doing AFF. Thanks for this and other videos as you and they are inspiring. Thank you!

[@unexceptionalrebel]

Thanks for sharing this, I've been subbed for years waiting for this type of behind the scenes type of info.

it's truly incredible you were able to pull it off with so much fear running through your body as well as many other things you have done... like people commonly fall when trying to run away from something scary because of fear .. then talk about doing something soo complex and with such minimum error margin while experiencing overwhelming fear

Such an amazing insight on how a extreme sport can truly be like therapy. For me it’s running. It gets me out of my head and has had a profound impact on my life in a positive way. It makes you realize that you need to WAKE UP AND WIN everyday.

[@hoogzhgz9989]

First time seeing this man! The footage was awesome! But, what u said after it.. about base jumping saving ur life, was even more awesome! Really makes sense. It's hard to find who u are in this world. You've really made me stop and think about a lot stuff. Thanks Jeb. Keep on rocking and love seeing Aly progressing and u teaching her!

Great to hear you talk through this after all this time, I hang-glide so can imagine to some degree the fear you went through before jumping, but still I know I wouldn't have it in me to make that jump.

Hey Jeb I have been watching your stories for a few years now. You have had a pretty Epic life. Thank you for sharing it. Your stories have been a big influence for me to start my solo dives. So again thank you. Your new vlogs are also very cool. Its been nice to see the behind the scenes on videos I saw a few years ago. Please keep it up. Take care. Is there a behind the scenes story on the Golden Gate? Just curious.

[@tommylundy2495]

This is crazy. That dude that tried to jump and fly off the Eiffel Tower back in the 1900s would be proud, can’t recall his name

[@nerblebun]

@Tommy Lundy: I'm pleased to answer your question Mr.Lundy. The gentleman who designed & attempted the first parachute jump off the Eiffel Tower on Feb.4th, 1912 was Franz Reichelt. Reichelt was an Austrian born French tailor also known as the Flying Tailor due to his successful innovation's of early parachutes for which he used weighted dummies to drop from his 5th story apartment; however, after his highly publicized jump of 187ft. from the first platform of the Eiffel Tower went terribly awry, resulting in Franz splattering his internal organs all over the cement below due to sudden deceleration, he became known as Flat Franz or Bloody Red Reichelt. I sincerely hope this clarification has been of value. In the future Mr.Lundy, feel free to ask me anything, anything at all. It's what I do. I get high, and I know things.

@@tommylundy2495: No sir. I started skydiving in 1976, and today at the age of 70 I still skydive & fly my power para-glider trike; however, It took only ONE base jump in 1980 to realize throwing myself out of a perfectly flying aircraft was more than enough to fill my need for thrill.
