Eek! Amazing Wingsuit Videos

I know it's not racing related, but it's frickin' good enough to stick it in the racing vids category. Gotta see this vid, it's nuts!

(thanks to Maytag Mayes for providing the video, which is from Warren Miller's 'Cold Fusion')

Re: CRAZY video of Loic Jean-Albert flying using a Wingsuit



"Nuts" does not even begin to describe this vid.
Now I am very, very, very scared. I have never ever wanted to skydive before. But this...... oh man, the helmetcam shot of his shadow over the snow...

...imagine having your skis dropped from the copter into your LZ and then skiing the rest of the way down.....

I do NOT need to be thinking about this

you're a sick, sick man Sydude

I guess that must be what Bobo means when he says if a corner gets "boring" you have to change something

Re: Amazing Wingsuit Videos

There aren't many activities more hauntingly beautiful and death defying scary then this. Even knowing it ends up OK I get a knot in my stomach watching it. It would seem any sort of down draft or gust of wind would affect their trajectory and do them in. Love seeing the successful flights video but no sure I'd want to witness in person. You think Hannah likes Jeb?
