Hats off to these guys. Not sure how they walk with such big balls.

Re: Who needs drugs when you can do this?

Glad I didnt find out about that til I was too old to consider doing it.
 
Re: Who needs drugs when you can do this?

ok at 2:10ish when he is sitting on the ledge and leans out and over, i got queasy, lol
 
Re: Who needs drugs when you can do this?

I remember a few years back when the wing suit was catching on but looks like they are getting really good with them. Amazing stuff.
 
Re: Who needs drugs when you can do this?

Insanity!!! I love skydiving but I don't posses big enough ones to do that.
 
Re: Who needs drugs when you can do this?

I wonder where they got the idea?

Re: Who needs drugs when you can do this?

um...........NO! Not for me. It's pretty amazing when you hear the statistics on how many base jumpers end up going splat.
 
Re: Who needs drugs when you can do this?

Normally in a skydive you really don't get a sense of how fast you are going till you pass something in the air. Like a cloud, bird, andother jumper, or a airplane... Talk about pucker factor..

That is bad ass, they got skills..

And actually, it really isn't that much fun to watch them burn in..

Yeah that might be funny for a second, until you realize your not watching a movie and someone really got F-ed up
 
Re: Who needs drugs when you can do this?

Thats crazy man. Those guys have serious balls.

Re: Who needs drugs when you can do this?

Those guys definitely have some skills. I'd be hesitant even jumping a wingsuit on a normal skydive - too much stuff can go wrong even without the hazards of colliding with a mountain.

I think of how fast that ground is coming up when I'm landing a huge 7-cell canopy and don't time my flare right. Can't imagine doing 120+ an arms length from terra firma.

Crump, that vid makes me sick. But, you pays your monies and takes your chances. Hope I never see anything like that.
 
Re: Who needs drugs when you can do this?

Some more cool clips. The scene at 3:40 is very surreal looking.

Re: Who needs drugs when you can do this?

I would do that shit in a heartbeat!!
 
Re: Who needs drugs when you can do this?

Some of the Vid you are watching is in 'first person' with pilot having his own camera on helmet or body mount .
But lot of the Vid. on the Web. , people don't even think & forget that there is usually another Wingsuit pilot doing Relative Flight & recording the Flight Vid. they are watching on the PC.
The Wingsuit Pilot in the Vid. look pretty BadAss - BUT- the Camera Flier is pretty much flying the same Route of the pilot on the Proximity Wingsuit flight BUT they are ( Multi-Tasking in Wingsuit ) by keeping the Wingsuit pilot 'in camera frame', while also having to fly Relative flight .
People always forget about the Camera Man who are talented & work there ass off with Non of the glory .

Re: Who needs drugs when you can do this?

Yep... No second chance from "He allmost made it"
I jumped out of an airplane once.
The ride down was fun but leaving that aircraft sucked.
 
Re: Who needs drugs when you can do this?

I'll bet its cheaper than taking the family to Disney and ride lasts about as long. I'd do without the playing tag with the cliffs. Do those things have breaks!!
 
Re: Who needs drugs when you can do this?

I watched something, I don't recall what (maybe one of those believe it or not shows) but there was a guy in those same wing suits. The guy was trying to design a huge ramp so he could touch down on it without pulling a chute and slide down the ramp actually slowing him down. If the guy could actually pull that off he should get a trophy for having balls the size of wrecking balls.

Re: Who needs drugs when you can do this?

Looks like more fun that just skydiving...I'd do it.

What's stopping you?


Also, again, to those who laugh about guys "eating shit," someone out there is probably saying "it would be hilarious if those guys on the shooting range accidentally got shot by one of their own weapons." Is that sort of thing really that funny? Guess I just don't understand the humor.
