    THE WORLDS

    FASTEST FLYING

    HUMAN BEING

    Welcome to the World BASE Race

    WBR Gridset
    10. 12. july
    Innfjorden, Rauma
    www.worldbaserace.com
    Envision two athletes standing on wooden platforms at the edge of a mountain cliff. Each man is dressed in state-of-theart wingsuit. At the signal, they jump and race head-on to the nish line, deploying their parachutes and gliding to a safe landing. Mind blowing? Extraordinary? Innovative genius? A testament to mans dream of ight? A sporting event unlike any other in the world? I answer yes to all of the above, and promise another great show in 2013. The World Base Race is a racing sprint event in which the winners of each heat progress to the next round in the tournament. The race is designed as an easy to understand concept of two mountain yers navigating a mapped and measured distance towards a nish line. Upon nishing they deploy their parachutes and land safely. The number of heats is determined by the number of participants, eliminating pilots round by round until the worlds fastest yer is crowned the winner. This is the ultimate challenge human beings can face in a high speed adrenaline sport. Head to head ying a 1300 meters horizontal race course, where a perfect human ight

    will crown The worlds fastest ying human being. Using nothing other than gravity, a body dressed in a wingsuit, and the perfect aerodynamic shape these athletes chase their dreams of ight in a stunning outdoor setting.

    Spectator friendly
    We have created a spectator friendly arena to host the worlds most amazing public sporting event. Located among the beautiful mountains of Norway, this is a location like no other on earth. We want to make this the greatest public party for athletes and spectators alike. This event demonstrates to the world the type of athletes Wingsuit pilots truly are in an exciting competition. This is a top skilled athletic sport, where you not only have to compete head to head, but perform in front of the public. All rounds in The World BASE Race have to be hiked by the athletes; therefore the winner must also be in great physical shape. The athletes co-exist on the mountain along with the spectators making the event one of a kind in which spectators have a sense of being part of a new and exciting sport.

    Norwegian BASE Jumping


    Norwegian base jumping began in the summer of 1980. Since then it has evolved from being a high-risk activity, to be a moderate-risk sport. Equipment is constantly improved upon using cutting-edge technology, testing and user experience. World BASE Race was held for the rst time in August of 2008 and immediately received worldwide media coverage due to the growing interest in Wingsuit piloting. World BASE Race took center stage due to local support, and our corporate partners resources in presenting an international rst class event. We are creating a sport with measurable goals, rules, and an audience of spectators from what once were exhibition jumps and demonstrations. I am proud to say it all started in Romsdal, Norway.
