From the Edge to the World: The Story of Tandem BASE Jumping at Bridge Day

You may have seen them — the fearless few who step off the New River Gorge Bridge to witness the heart-pounding spectacle of BASE jumping. But did you know that you don't need years of skydiving experience to feel the rush of the most famous 876-foot drop in the world? Thanks to the pioneers of the sport, you can experience the leap of a lifetime as a tandem passenger.

Bringing the Public Along for a BASE Jump

The dream of bringing the public along for a BASE jump became a reality through the vision of Mark and Abbie. Recognized as the founders of modern tandem BASE jumping, they founded TandemBASE — the premier company dedicated to sharing this extreme sport with the world safely and professionally.

Before the first passenger ever stepped off the New River Gorge Bridge, the system underwent rigorous testing in the "BASE Jumping Capital" of Lodi, California. Mark and Abbie officially brought tandem BASE jumping to Bridge Day in 2000 — a historic moment that turned the bridge deck into a gateway for anyone brave enough to fly.

Sean Chuma Carries TandemBASE Forward

Having established TandemBASE as the gold standard in the industry, Mark and Abbie eventually handed the reins of the company to their close friend. Today, Sean Chuma carries that legacy forward with unmatched precision. Widely regarded as the most highly skilled tandem BASE jumper in the world, Sean has done an incredible job promoting the sport globally. His expertise ensures that every passenger who hooks up to a TandemBASE rig at Bridge Day is in the most capable hands in the industry.
