millertimeunc 0 #4 December 23, 2008 I watched it with some friends yesterday evening. They kept looking over at me saying things like "you really do that stuff?!?" and "you're crazy!" The best was when my buddy's wife saw the BASE jumps and said "oh no, why is he flying so close to the cliff? That looks dangerous!" Awesome segment, and very well done! The best things in life are dangerous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peggs82 0 #21 December 24, 2008 That was a great segment. Probably one of the best I've seen in a long while concerning wingsuiting. Due in part to Ed!! Great job! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yuri_base 1 #22 December 24, 2008 Wow! 200mph horizontally!!! Anyone have a proof? And talking about 3:1 glide ratio as if it was a commonplace? Why they don't tell whuffos the truth that a typical flocker moves about 40mph horizontally and 6 inches forward per foot down? That would still impress them without lying. Correction: 6 inches for 'fast' flocks; 6.5 inches when 'smoking everyone' on breakoff.

mccordia 74 #25 December 24, 2008 Im still waiting for Yuri to put his money where his mouth is, and show up in the top scores for the distance competitions worldwide... Loic, Robert and James are awesome flyers for the #1 positions But they share the #1 spot (or loose:) at a lot of competitions as well from the 'pussy flockers' who would probably hand Yuri his ass in a 1 on 1 race as well JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
