Base Stunts
Base Stunts are stunts that involve balancing vehicles on or getting vehicles inside parts of the bases on Blood Gulch. Due to the fact that there are big pillars, small pillars, and portals on the bases on Blood Gulch there are a huge number of subtly different Base Stunts in existence. Because many of them are so similar some players may find the videos documenting them to be boring, as they seem to show the same sorts of stunts over and over again. Viewers who understand and appreciate Base Stunts will find the numerous possibilities interesting both aesthetically and intellectually.
