Base-Jumping: Idaho's most daring adventure

Feeling like adding some thrill to your Idaho bucket list? Base-jumping will definitely do it for you! Taking a nosedive off the Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls is the ultimate experience for adrenaline hypes.

If you know next-to-nothing about base-jumping? No worries. In a nut shell, it's an exhilarating sport lets you hurl yourself from a bridge, building, bolder, etc. and free-fall before your trusty parachute deploys.

For Idaho residents and tourists alike, it's one of the most extreme (and some say addicting) adventures to add and check off the old bucket-list.

FYI: things to know before your first base-jump

Base-jumping isn't something you just wing. Safe jumps require the right gear, proper training, and the ability to follow directions to a T.

If you're familiar with the phrase, "People who play stupid games, win stupid prizes," the prize for stupidity in base-jumping is likely a quick trip to the morgue. Make sure to take a course or hire an experienced instructor to guide you step-by-step through your first few jumps.

Ignore the haters.

Don't deprive yourself of the adventure of a lifetime because of the litany of base-jumping misconceptions floating around the internet. Per our previous point about rising above stupidity, base-jumping can be a safe and unforgettable experience.

Why let small minds and fearmongers hold you back from one of Idaho’s most thrilling adventures?

You jump, I jump, Idaho.

One more time: base-jumping is for anyone! Challenging Idaho's world-famous Perrine Bridge isn't just for hardcore thrill-seekers. You can do this! If you're ready kick your fears to the curb, check out Base Jump the Bridge to plan your jump off the Perrine Bridge!
