One base jumper decided to use his skills to help a friend grieve his father in the most beautiful way: by scattering the late dad’s ashes during an adventurous leap over the New River! Larry Harrah was so touched by his buddy’s gesture, he shared an incredible video of the feat on social media. In his caption, he explained why this unusual memorial meant so much to him. Apparently, the location carried many special memories of his dad! This beautiful moment took place during Bridge Day. For those unfamiliar with the occasion, it’s an annual festival for base jumpers in West Virginia. According to the event website, this tradition takes place on the Gorge Bridge, which passes over the New River. During the celebration, extreme sports enthusiasts leap off the structure (with the proper gear, of course) while spectators get to observe. Watch this base jumper honor his friend’s dad in the most epic way. @larryharrah So my buddy is a base jumper. He offered to spread my dads ashes on the New River. I grew up fishing with him on this river right below the bridge. Best Bridge Day ever!!!!!!!!! Love ya Marcus Ellison!!! #bridgeday westvirgina. #basejump #dad #countryroads ♬ Akon’s Beautiful Day – Akon Larry had some very fond memories of fishing with his dad on the New River. So, when his friend decided to participate in the Bridge Day festivities, the base jumper thought it would be an amazing opportunity to scatter the deceased man’s ashes in an incredibly meaningful way. In Larry’s video of the impressive stunt, his friend leaped right off the Gorge Bridge with a parachute for safety. This was no small feat in itself — according to the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park website, this structure is 956 feet above the water! Once the base jumper’s parachute opened, he scattered the ashes over the New River in honor of his buddy’s dad. It’s truly heart-wrenching to watch! Screengrab from TikTok If you’re not familiar with base jumping, the concept is pretty simple. As the Wisconsin Skydiving Center explains, this extreme sport consists of leaping from a great height with the help of a parachute. What makes it different from skydiving is that the jumping location is always a solid object. “Base” is actually an acronym that stands for the different types of structures that are used in this pastime. B stands for building, A for antenna, S for span (aka, bridge), and E for earth (aka, cliff or other rock formation). While this sport is pretty cool in and of itself, we think that Larry’s friend made it infinitely more so with his touching gesture! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

This animal may leap like a dolphin, but don’t be deceived: he is very much still a dog! A pet owner named Molly caught the most hilarious footage of her energetic cocker spaniel, Rupert, jumping up and down during their walk. It was pretty funny to see this pup bouncing down the street, his mom in tow behind him. This pooch probably spent more time in the air than on the ground! Watch the video here. @molly__wi As ya do #dog #jumpingdog #fyp #foryou #foryoupage ♬ Funny video “Carmen Prelude” Arranging weakness(836530) – yo suzuki(akisai) “Don’t mind me, just out walking my dolphin,” Molly wrote over the footage. Over 34 million people have watched this video of Rupert indulging in his bizarre yet adorable habit. Commenters loved the way this little dog jumped into the air just like a dolphin bursting out of the water! “That’s the happiest cocker spaniel ever!” wrote one user. Another joked that the pooch looked like he was playing a video game. “He’s trying to get all those coins,” they said. This dog may be a bit of an oddball, but we still love him! According to Molly, her dog has a variety of other inconvenient habits besides pretending to be a dolphin. In another video, she shared some of Rupert’s “red flags.” Apparently, this sweet cocker spaniel can sometimes be “needy” and spoiled. Plus, even though he’s a pretty small pooch, for some reason he only seeks out the largest sticks.

Even when he pooped in the background of Molly’s proposal video, his mom couldn’t get too angry with him. After all, who could resist Rupert’s precious little face? In the end, we’re probably all a little jealous of this dog. When was the last time something made you so happy that you just had to jump up and down? Maybe we can learn a lesson from Rupert’s boisterous approach to life! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
