B.A.S.E. jumping (Building - Antenna - Span - Earth) was first started some 25 years ago in the U.S.A. First Croat to make a B.A.S.E. jump was Nenad Pesut (a.k.a. The Delegate) in 1989. in Los Angeles, and it was also him who started B.A.S.E. jumping in Croatia. The number of B.A.S.E. jumpers was increasing very slowly, so that today in Croatia there are only five people who do B.A.S.E. jumps: Nenad Pesut (67 jumps), Igor Kecerin (17), Davor Lovrencic (~20), Robert Pecnik (89)and Darko Tupek (4). Tom Begic, an Australian of Croat origin, has also made 12 B.A.S.E. jumps in Croatia.

B.A.S.E. jumping is not legally defined or regulated in Croatia, so jumping a site depends on local police or other authorities only.
