Blackpool, Lancashire, UK. 10/06/2018. The AirgameZ is the definitive BASE jumping competition of the Great British Isles. Elite jumpers from around the world are invited to participate from our 473ft high crane in competition to see who has the nerve, skill & style to thrill the crowds & win the judges scorecards. From this altitude jumpers can expect a solid delay of over 3 seconds, perform staged-deployment multi-ways, AAF style linked exits & aerobatic multi-axis rotations on descent.

BASE Jumping, derives from sky diving which, in turn, is a sub-genre of parachuting. The BASE part of the name is an acronym, which stands for Building, Antenna, Span, and Earth. Buildings are the trickiest of the four elements for BASE Jumpers to fly from, as many have locked doors, CCTV, and security, all of which make getting in, up, and down difficult. As such, buildings that are still under construction prove popular with canny BASE Jumpers. Antennas are significantly more popular than buildings because they can be as tall as any building on earth, but are easier to access, often have less security, and can be found in remote places, such as fields, deserts, and plains.
