You've gotta be kidding me!! I admit i would NOT try that but seriously incredible.

Wonder how they tested the suit, and how many places are actually suitable to jump.

This must be akin to a deeply religious experience as I for one would feel that I was getting much nearer to meeting my maker!

DUDE I DID THAT ONCE! :D

 

 

 

 

 

It was only like 4 or 5 steps, but it was just on a whim. i'd like to go at it more.

 

 

 

Oh yeah and barefoot. :lol: fun stuff.

 

 

 

 

The other one is river rapid surfing, in the pacific northwest of all places! :D:wub:

I always wanted to jump off a cliff, without having to die :lol: and while low basejumping looked silly/scary jumping off a huge mountain and getting 30~60 sec freefall with a wingsuit looks awesome.

but you start at the start as learning to solo skydive looks no more expensive than getting my advanced open water dive licence :)

Just like a motorbike, one wrong decision and it's hospital time if you're lucky.

yo rocky!!

 

yeah we grow up swinging from tree to tree out here in da woods.

we(they still do i just quit ) used to play tag down by the creek.

once i fell off a limb about 35' up and landed on the water flat on my back.

that was not a good experience.

took me a couple of minutes to shake that one off.

Well it took Jeb 9 flights (well technically 12 as he had to abort to the "escape route" 3 times) to film grinding the crack... was inspired to try after someone else had flown it.

 

 

While we're at it, how about people running on water?

 

 

It's amazing just how much difference really knowing that it CAN be done makes :)
