    They may well have thought out the backend, but they need to do something with the marketing. Try searching Google for Epic TV...

      If all they jumped off was buildings it would be called B jumping. BASE is an acronym for Buildings, Aerials, Spans (bridges), Earth

    "an active Facebook account with at least 50 friends"

    Seriously, you're taking the piss right? Facebook profiles with 50 or more "friends" are now considered a valid identity validator are they?

    Paris as she is considered an extreme sport in her own right these days!

    Maybe it's just me, and I've missed something ...
