Bridge Day for 2009 will be Saturday, Oct. 17th
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
to more than 800 jumps were made last year.

The vast majority of people (more than 80,000 expected!) come to Bridge Day to watch. All of the jumpers are registered, and can make as many jumps as they are able to within a six hour window.
