Wingsuit News

Recommended Posts

It's been in the planning for a long time, but we have finaly started a new section on our website.

World Wide Wingsuit News

For people who dont always have the time (or energy/courageB|) to dig through all the posts on dropzone.com and other various news sources, we have started a blogstyle news site at http://news.flylikebrick.com/ where our team of admins will try and keep you up to date on all the cool news, photos and videos that pop up online.

It wont be much more than short blurbs of text and a small image refering you to the actual places where to groovy stuff is available for download/to watch.
But for those on a tight scedule (or sick of the endles 'I have 20 jumps..I know the recomenditions..but would it be safe if I flew a wingsuit now anyways' kinda discussions) its a nice way to read all the wingsuit news, without the added noise of online discussion.

We also try to keep a calendar on all wingsuit events world-wide up to date on the same page.
If you have news, video, a website or event you would like to see posted in the calendar or news section. Shoot an email to news@flylikebrick.com and we will make sure its added.

Check it out!

Sincerely, your team of admins:

Heyhey,

It took some searching and typing, but I just made an initial roundup of all wingsuit events for 2009 announced so far.

http://news.flylikebrick.com/

I'm probably still missing a few, and will be adding those over the next one or two days. Shoot me a PM or email at flylikebrick@gmail.com if you have an event or date thats missing.

All items will also appear in the WorldWideWingsuitNews public google agenda, so feel free to ad that one to your own website for a complete overview on whats happeningB|

Work..its one of those things I try to do at the office when not thinking about wingsuits, or looking for videos, photos and articles on this awesome hobby/obsession of ours..B|

Ive just spent the last hour brushing up on my severly rusty German, and translated an awesome article and video on Loic Jean-Albert from www.geo.de (spotted by Costyn)

You can read the translated version at http://news.flylikebrick.com/
There is also link there to the orginal German article if you prefer reading that one.

On top of that, I also added other bits and pieces of misc. wingsuit video that popped up online today.

Enjoy!

A nice shout out to Wingsuit News on the Performance Designs website:

Phoenix Fly wingsuiters Macca McDonald and Jarno Cordia recently launched the World Wide Wingsuit Blog, which focuses on wingsuits and everything related to the birdmen of the sky. Macca is a brilliant writer and Jarno puts together the most amazing videos, so you know this blog will be good (even if you aren't into wingsuits on a personal level).
They have a few people contributing to the blog so that one should be frequently updated.

Just added a bunch of new videos from the Nissan Outdoor Games to our WorldWide Wingsuit blog.

Definitely worth checking out!

And have to say that, though its a lot of work to keep up to date, the sheer amount of wingsuit news on the web amazes me more and more..

And a shout out to all of you:
If any of the manufacturers have press releases, if anyone has a review on a new wingsuit (or related piece of gear), if you have a cool video or photo you just put online and would like to see highlighted. Just shoot us an email or PM and we'll gladly put it up!

All news is posted with links back to the orginal owner/poster and his/her website, and other mentions of source/origin for the news/story/video/photo
