]]> On The DC Traveler, I’ve written about places where you can take skydiving lessons, flying lessons, and even helicopter lessons in the Washington, DC area.

But I found this video and thought, now this extreme sport might make an interesting post.  But after watching the video, it’s beyond insane, it’s actually a step or two past suicidal.

Here’s the Flying Dude, Loïc Jean-Albert, doing his version of parachute base jumping.

And If I find a place in the Washington, DC area that teaches this extreme sport, perhaps somewhere in the mountains of West Virginia, I probably won’t write about it.  This is simply a bit too extreme for me and anyone I know.
