There is only one Baffin Island. Antennas don't have "guide" wires either.
Don't forget about all the IPBC events.
"Redbull building burning in NC " - Don't you mean the soccer field that Charles burned?

yes.

the A****n classic. The way I heard it, the city, which owns the S allows stunts from it under movie permits with proper insurance. So the organizer for 2/3 year kept getting the said permit and having a bridge-day like competition. After those few years the authorities realized that purpose was NOT to shoot a movie about BASE jumping, but to just BASE jump :).
