The Tandem BASE Moab Team at the Jackalope Festival

Originally launched in Canada, Jackalope is now spreading its wings across the globe, hosting events in epic locations with unforgettable backdrops. It’s a place where both pros and fans come to push the limits and connect over their love for the extreme. Top athletes from around the world travel to Jackalope to compete, perform, and even share tips with fans. From death-defying stunts to high-speed tricks, you’re guaranteed to witness something new and awe-inspiring.

Tandem BASE Moab has been proud to be part of this incredible event. Our very own Matt has attended Jackalope three times, securing a podium spot each year—a feat no other athlete has achieved in Jackalope’s history. From 3rd to 2nd and finally 1st place, Matt’s performances have drawn attention, leading him to work alongside legends like Tony Hawk, Mat Hoffman, and Robbie Maddison. In 2023, our team took things to the next level when Katie Hansen and Sean Chuma joined, sweeping the podium and showcasing why Tandem BASE Moab is the team to beat.

Jackalope has tried working with other tandem BASE operations in the past, but after some less-than-stellar experiences, they’re sticking with Tandem BASE Moab as their exclusive partner. We’re honored to bring our passion and expertise to Jackalope events worldwide, bringing the thrill of tandem BASE jumping to new audiences and pushing the sport even further.

So if you’re looking for an action-packed experience, join us at the next Jackalope festival, where Tandem BASE Moab will be taking things to new heights (literally) with our heart-pounding jumps and unbeatable spirit.
