* Wingsuit flight, 7 feet above the ground!!! (Video attached) *

Recommended Posts

I think Loic is only like 23 or 24 and has a couple of thousand jumps. There is video on the net of him swooping a cliff where he is only a few feet away and flys between some rock out cropings. Just incredible stuff...

Loic Jean Albert, He's in Crosswind buzzing some mountains as well.

edited to add: That is fucking mind blowing footage!

Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds. Guaranteed reaction- Dave Sonsky

Get Quicktime.



I'll try it in there then. It just automatically opened into Movie Player.

Edit: Okay it played in Quicktime! Unbelievable, totally.

Translate? Hell! I'm still just happy looking at the pictures, like a teenager with a Playboy mag.

:oI am speechless.

Didn't Patrick De Gayardon do this before he passed away? I've never seen video that good, though.

I am blown away.



Yes, Patrick de Gayardon did a similar thing, flying low over the mountain summit. He talks about it on "Good Stuff", but it is kind of hard to understand... :)
Here is a different article about Gayardon's last jump... :( :( :(

*Wingsuit Rehab*

Hi, my name is Matt and I have been jumping wingsuits for about 3 weeks.

Rehab Group: Hi Matt!

Group Leader: Tell us a little about your "addiction"

Um, yea. I am currently living off of scraps left in the local bar dumpster because I spent all my money on a new wingsuit.

Rehab Group:



Sweet!B|

I was thinking that as I watched it the second or third time. ;) On the side of that mountain, he may already have ground effect. It may just be the video, but I would swear I saw his wake in the snow.

Badass, nonetheless.B|

Now why didn't the two guys on the slope make themselves useful by
setting up some AirBlades, instead of just standing there?

Hey Ridder! You've been wanting to try my wingsuit, haven't you?
Meet me at A-Basin at 8:30 Saturday morning. I'll bring my suit and
my camcorder.

I reckon he could have landed it if he REALLY wanted to........B|;)

"Get another few feet lower and he'll be in ground effect."
Ah, the 4th generation suit, we have seen Classic, GTi, and skyflyer, next up is the Ekranosuit?
