In Case You Missed It LIVE: Here Are Chris “Douggs” McDougall’s Base Jumps From Al-Hamra Tower!
24 March
2013
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!”
Georgina’s Skydive For Charity!
24 March
2013
Received via email:
“Hi, my name is Georgina. I am a teacher living in Kuwait. I am originally from the UK and have lived in Kuwait for just over 5 years. I am passionate about many things in life and foremost- my friends and family.
I was driving to work one morning in January of this year, listening to some music that I listened to when I was at university and I suddenly felt a buzz and happy feeling. Having recently been told that a family member had been given the ‘all clear’ after treatment for cancer, I felt the sudden urge to want to do something ‘good’ for a society and support a cancer charity.
I tried in vain over the next few months to arrange a big event in Kuwait, inviting DJ’s from the UK and Dubai to participate in a fundraising event. I had support from many wonderful people but as venues are few and far between here, it was a fruitless exercise.
