BASE jumping 'could happen every night'
A world champion BASE jumper says people could be leaping off Sydney's tallest buildings every night, and has argued for a legal way to practice his extreme sport in Australia.

The plea comes after two BASE jumpers were charged with parachuting from a city tower building at 3 this morning.

Police officers spotted one man floating to earth before he landed in front of their car on George St. Sydney.

The other man landed on the other side of the road, near the corner of Liverpool St, before the pair were chased down and arrested, police said.

Kudos to the searchers. I lived in Coober Pedy on and off as a teen. There are mine-shafts everywhere. We could walk to several deep uncovered shafts in minutes from our dugout.

THOUSANDS of commuters were stuck in gridlock after a shot was fired from stolen car during a police pursuit in Sydney's innerwest.
