KUALA LUMPUR TOWER INTERNATIONAL JUMP MALAYSIA (KLTIJ)

 

BASE (acronym for Building, Antenna, Span, Earth) Jump is an extreme sport started in the 1980s after several skyjumpers modified their skydiving gears for increased thrill and excitement. BASE Jump has since developed into a proper sport and its worldwide popularity is gaining rapidly.

 

The nation’s first ever International BASE Jump event was held on 3 October 1999 at Menara Kuala Lumpur. Since then, the event is held annually with more than 50 BASE Jumpers from all over the world frequenting the Tower without fail. And the participation is increasing every year.

 

Skills, courage and determination coupled with knowledge of object geometry, landing area and weather conditions propelled these daredevils to make repeated jumps from the Tower with three-second freefalls, leaving audience and spectators breathless!

 

In 2007, apart from Menara Kuala Lumpur the BASE Jump locations have been extended to other towers in Malaysia, that is:

 

  - Menara Tun Mustapha, Sabah
  - Menara Pelita, Sarawak
   - Menara Alor Star, Kedah
   - Menara KOMTAR, Penang
  - Menara TM, Kuala Lumpur
