GOOD TO GO - BASE jumping Malaysia 2010
GOOD TO GO - BASE jumping Malaysia from MATT GILSENAN on Vimeo.
In 2010 I travelled to Malaysia with a handful of Australian BASE jumpers to film them jumping off the KL Tower in Kuala Lumpur. The country is an amazing place and the people are just as special. This was by far the best trip I have done yet.
The movie features Lucky Chance, Mason Corby, Alex Duncan, Tim Fitzsimmons, Paul Webster, Jenny Gordon, Scatty Flockfeather, Chris Garcia, Scotty Disco and friends.
