A worldwide growing momentum of real athletes and their passion inspired this site. So we created a place to promote, share and celebrate these athletes and their sports from throughout the world. Athletes that train, compete and do their thing for the passion, the spirit and the competition. Events that exist to celebrate and promote these athletes and their places...Climbers, skiers, surfers, runners, ultimate players, paddlers, rowers, base jumpers, cyclists....they are all in here and more. Enter, learn, explore and be inspired...react, comment or start something new.

Miles Daisher Sets New World Record!

The Jump for Kids Fundraiser was a huge success. The event raised over $15,000 for the children with special needs in Twin Falls. At the same time, Miles set a new world record for most BASE jumps in a day at 57 while hiking over 27,500 ft doing so. He shatterred the old record of 22. If the storm didn't blow in at 8:30pm stopping the efforts with three and a half hours to go, he would have easily done over 60 jumps which is hiking the equivilent of Mt. Everest from sea level. The city of Twin Falls is proud of the accomplishment and Miles is going to be recognized for promoting Twin Falls' tourism and given a good neighbor award by the Chamber of Commerce.

On September 16, 2005 Miles Daisher, a Twin Falls ID resident and member of the Red Bull Air Force will make a world record attempt for the most BASE jumps completed in 1 day and hiking approximately 25,000 vertical feet.

There will be a celebration event September 16, 2005 from 5:30-8:30pm at the Visitor’s Center / Perrine Bridge. Food, prizes, raffles and no-host bar! Live music too!

All the proceeds of the event go toward children with disabilities.

(Miles will attempt his world record on or as close to September 16 as possible weather permitting…outdoor celebration will occur the 16th regardless and base jumpers will be jumping that event).
