Sublime.



(And all these posters trying sound so disparaging towards Red Bull would gladly sacrifice a testicle for the opportunity to fly like that.)

I know a number of the Red Bull folks and they are very talented, some of the best.

With that said, that video, though visually very cool, was not the extreme experience I thought I was clicking on. Heck, a regular jumper like me could have done that one.

But like one friend of mine who's done quite a bit of skydiving stunt work for Hollywood said, it's not about how dangerous the stunt is, but how you sell it.

It's more out of jealousy than anything.

Thanks.

I have a lot to be modest about.

Thank God I don't have to sacrifice a testicle to jump in a loose three way flock. I'd be all out of nuts after, I dunno, a typically weekend morning skydiving, if I got up early.

Cool visual? Absolutely. Are the Red Bull guys great fliers? Of course. This video doesn't highlight flying prowess, though.

Loose 3 way flock - meh

CReW into downplane with a flag - no mention in the video

Just goes to show you people dig wingsuiters and think CReW people are weird.

For the same reason I jump off a perfectly good diving board.
