San Andres had Base jumping and it was popular and a fun feature. When GTA IV hit the game was great but sadly they did not allow you to base jump anymore. Now Rockstar sent over this clip that shows the new base jumping feature in the multiplayer mode when you buy the new DLC The Balled of Gay Tony which is being released both as a double episode retail disc and on the XBL marketplace. You must be over the age of 21 to watch enter your birth date and enjoy this clip. You’ll see the teaser for the upcoming contest on the Social Club teams of two will compete for the best time. Watch it though as others in your game can slow you down by using weapons and making it harder. Sounds like a cool contest to kick off the new DLC content.
