That was fabulous!!!!!!!
Re: the Mountain Wingsuit
very cool, and it's actually quite common in BASE jumping. I know two acquaintances who do this and they've invested ridiculous sums of cash into all kinds of wingsuits over the past two years. Jeb Corliss, a pro reputed to be one of the best in the world, says he is working on a wingsuit that will not only let you "fly" but somehow actually [I]land without a parachute :shock:[/I] dude obviously has balls... Youtube Jeb Corliss, you'll find a ton of his "flying" vids and other peoples' (many of whom are dead by now)...

Re: the Mountain Wingsuit
This sport, if you will, is absolutely amazing. Crazy stunts for sure.
Re: the Mountain Wingsuit
i can do the wingsuit with my ballsack.
Re: the Mountain Wingsuit
sign me the fuck up. how do you get into stuff like this? i reckon you'd have to have a minimum of like 200 skydives and a lot of money.
Re: the Mountain Wingsuit
^^ yep, something like that. As I understand it from the few people I know involved in this, the wingsuit is a more advanced form of BASE...aside from thorough skydiving expertise, you should also first have a solid foundation of "regular" non-suit BASE jumping and probably wingsuit skydiving. They make it look easy, but I was surprised to read about how complex the various aspects of it are, from gear to the aerodynamics of it to all the split-second judgments you have to make along the way...and obviously there are a ton of ways to lose stability and screw up fast. It's really not the sport for people looking to just dabble in something on the side.
