The bar has been raised, this is the most impressive wingsuit proximity flying video I have ever seen. Even seasoned base jumpers have dropped their jaw watching it. :confused: :x :aok
Those guys have balls made of Unobtainium.
And Star Wars fans should like it too ;)

So what are the speeds these guys can achieve with these suits on? Can you do aerobatics in them? Looks like some really cool stuff. Is the point of it to get as close to the rocks and stuff as possible or is that necessary to stick with the air currents?
Just found this in a quick search. Looks like it would be a wild ride.

deSelys thx for the Video, really stunning view! at some points i stoped to breath, crazy :eek:
what you dont see in the video is the hours & hours of climbing the mountains and then have a 1min flight ;)
but this guys are really crazy freaks.
...and Reschke, the austrian Felix Baumgartner flew in his Delta Wing across the english Channel, similar stuff
what you have posted, he had 360kmh / 226mph topspeed, just google for it.
