  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Base Jumping the Burj Dubai - Long Version

submitted by nomino

1 decade 6 years 1 month 2 weeks ago

Back in May, two thrillseekers sneaked into the Burj Dubai — currently the tallest building in the world even though it's not finished yet — and set the world base jumping record (illegally). The footage of the jump from the top is worth a watch by itself, but the story of the pair's experience makes it even better.

But upvote for when you get it working as it's a great tale.
