102 year old Dorothy Custer does a Base jump from an Idaho bridge to celebrate her birthday...


Most people who hit 102 years of age are happy just to talk a stroll. But not Dorothy Custer. No ma'am, no way.
Custer celebrated her 102nd birthday recently by completing a tandem BASE jump. Sean Chuma, the instructor who jumped with the fearless centenarian and uploaded the video evidence to YouTube, said Custer is the oldest woman to ever complete a BASE jump.
We haven't yet verified that claim but, record or not, this is a pretty inspirational example of how to live life with vigor no matter what your age.
Custer's spunky personality has landed her on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and she celebrated her 101st birthday last year by going zip-lining.
BASE jumping at 102, however, takes things to a whole new level.
