It's one of the seldom seen extreme sports but now wingsuit flying will feature for the first time in the 2008 Chamonix Winter Outdoor Games. The wingsuit shapes the body into an airfoil which can create lift. The Winter Outdoor Games takes place from 14-17 February 2008. " So who knows more about this event?Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouDiamond 1 #8 May 9, 2007 It's hard to say for sure but it looks like the new version Matter Cedric showed me in Eloy around Feb. I'm in Eloy now so I can't post the close ups of it on the ground as they are on my other computer back home."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
