1. The World Base Race
Wingsuits are modified jumpsuits with a span of fabric between the legs and behind the arms, allowing the wearer to glide for tremendous distances, something that isn't possible with typical base jumping.
In 2008, Paul Fortun took this extreme sport and turned it into a biannual race.
Twice a year, the World Base Race sees participants leap head first off a 1,300 meter (4265 ft) high platform in a head to head battle to see who can reach the ground first.
Instead of a trophy, the winner is awarded the title “World's Fastest Flying Human Being.”
