and you think skydiving & wingsuiting are crazy?

[feuergnom 28]

if anyone should ever tell you that you are insane just because you find it's fun to jump from perfectly good planes you've got to show this video

edit: if you wonder where this was shot: grimselpass/switzerland

The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle

I wouldn't say that was insane orcrazy. Very cool, but not insane.

It's a pretty old clip, But I am surprised that suit never caught on, it looks like it would be a Blast...

Must have cost a fortune to make!

When he's going around the curve and a bike coming the other way, what do you think went through that riders mind? "There must be a wrecked bike up the hill." ? And when he was going through the tunnel, I kept thinging of the phrase, "Going toward the light." And the people he passed must have had some double-take thoughts. Amazing proficiency.

Would you be surprised to know there is a wingsuiter who is working on a suit like this?
He's posting his progress on FB fairly regularly.

The only crazy part is it's not on a closed course and he is crossing the center line like he owns the road.

Coming out of the tunnel he gets jammed up behind a motorcycle and the video jumps to a new shot. I'm wondering if they edited out a wipe-out. I'd like to see how he handled it - and is it the same motorcycle he blazes past a video-moment later?

Wonder why they stopped where they did? he was coming up on those cars pretty quick and it looked like the braking system was pretty lacking.
Other than that that is some cool stuff!! I would defiantly give it a try...on a closed course

Get video.

I am NOT being loud.
I'm being enthusiastic!

[davjohns 1]

That looks like fun!

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

ummm. still looks as "cgi" as the last time it was posted.

Which way would this convince you then?
I've talked to the guy. He is quite real. As is his suit.

And so is mine.
I'm taking his concept to the next level.
I just finished building the frontend.
