Bridge Day, held on the third Saturday in October every year in Fayetteville, West Virginia, is the largest extreme sports event and largest gathering of BASE jumpers in the world.
The New River Gorge Bridge saw its first BASE jumpers in 1979, just 2 years after the bridge was completed and opened to the public. As more and more people entered the sport, the tradition of coming to West Virginia for Bridge Day has grown- more than 800 jumps were made last year.
