Participants were from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Protugal, Russia, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and United States. The first base jump in Malaysia took place at the same tower in 1999. It was logged in the Malaysian record books as the first Malaysian BASE Jump. Two years later jumping at the KL Tower had become an official event and was attracting international recognition and competitors. The competition has continued ever since and has expanded to venues in nearby cities. Here’s a great highlight reel showing a lot of jumps from 2017.
