    there was a guy who attached mini jets to his feet and went cruising along in a wingsuit. I've thought about pursuing skydiving and having a wingsuit would be badass.

    Wingsuit aka nylon crack. Very awsome, quite dangerous.

    Look for a video call Soulflyers (there are 2 now). Those vids have some of the sickest wingsuiting stuff I have ever seen. And I've been seeing it for over 7 years. The BASE stuff is the craziest.

    There's a reason I dont BASE, I'd like it too much.

    dropzone won't let you jump with a wing suit unless you have at LEAST 100 jumps... and they won't be happy unless you have 500 jumps.

    The advertisements on the page are NSFW. The video itself is fine. I don't have an IT department at work!

    The original link use to be work safe, but it looks like it was redirected. I updated it with a direct link to You Tube.

    Work safe again.

    Those guys have been jumping the fijords <sp?> since they were kids. it started with BASE and progressed to wingsuiting when wingsuits started becoming a little more safe.

    I've no desire to make those runs in a wingsuit, but I'd be all over it under my canopy.

    Damn that makes me wanna go skydive... one more day of work...

    that happened a couple years ago.
    People have been doing that trick for a while, it just so happens there were lots of cameras in place when an accident happened. I know a lot of wingsuiters, and none willing to try that madness.

    When humans battle the earth, the earth always wins.
