In case you were unable to witness Kuwait’s first-ever base jumps (Skyfall 414) LIVE & in full color, no worries! Here is a video shot by the “Douggs” himself, most likely from a GoPro cam. The video shows both base jumps, and from what we can tell, he seemed to have had an UNBELIEVABLE time doing them!

 

As per his YouTube channel:

“The raw hand cam and head cam from the first ever base jumps in Kuwait. the exit point was very bad and unstable so i kicked like a bitch and i got a big booga on the camera and on my face on opening. But the one handed landing made up for the other clumsy stuff. More to come in the Middle East….Game on :) P.S. Thanks to Camco Global events for making it happen!”

Cup KUWAIT, Feb 27 (KUNA) — Kuwait’s Al-Arabi football team have qualified to the semifinal of the Union of Arab Football Associations’ (UAFA) Cup championship, after defeating Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr football team here on Wednesday 2-0 in their match at Sabah Al-Salem stadium. Al-Arabi started the first half by attacking the rivals, and was able to score the first goal at minute 38 by attacker Fahad Al-Rashidi, who scored the goal with his head from a high pass by his mate Abduqader Fal, a Senegalese professional. In the second half, Al-Arabi continued to attack until they scored the second goal through attacker Hussain Al-Mosawi at minute 49 by capitalizing on a mistake by Al-Nassr’s defensive line and shooting the ball in the goal. Al-Nasser team tried to come back during the match and was desperate to compensate for Al-Arabi’s two goals. However, Al-Arabi’s defensive line was so distinctive.
