Bill_K 0 #1 December 19, 2007 Anybody know? http://nz.news.yahoo.com/071219/3/3d1j.html They are saying that it's Loic Jean-Albert. It almost sounds like a terrain flying incident, but there is not a lot of info about it... He's in the hospital with some sort of a pelvic injury. I'm guessing from re-reading that it was under a canopy and not a WS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dploi 0 #14 December 22, 2007 QuoteI saw some video of Speed riding , fast as f#$k looked like wingsuit speeds on the video I saw, Very true. With a small canopy and the right terrain, wind, and maneuvering, you can rival wingsuit freefall speed and glide just inches from the ground. I don't think it will be long before we see some experiments with wingsuit/canopy/terrain proximity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
