Featured is footage from the recent international BASE jumping event in Malaysia, where competitors legally threw themselves off some of the world’s tallest structures.
It is something that thrill seekers would like to be legally allowed to do here in Australia.
"Over there we're treated like stars, but we come back to Australia and we're just treated like criminals again," Australian BASE Association president Gary Cunningham said.
Most of Cunningham's 3,000 jumps have been overseas in Asia, the US and Europe where there are legal locations to BASE jump.
He has not jumped in Australia for nearly two decades, ever since he was charged for an attempted jump off a building in Sydney's Chinatown.
