Thanks for sharing, that was a great video. Of course my soon to be 5 year old daughter asked, "can I do that?"

Nice video! I love those wing suit videos.
Some great scenery but also there's just something about flying without a vehicle that hooks to the dreams we had as kids reading superman comic books.\
Not the most sane thing to do, but it must feel awesome.

Did one of them just say "terrain flying"?..
Fantastic video, but sadly just a question of time.
Thx for sharing
Cheers,

Would never try this stuff, but like you say, its a dream to fly like this. No better feel for it then watching someone else do it.
Without the risk. Can just imagine what would happen if they collided in mid-air. SPLAT.
The mountains they fly around in are absolutely beautiful and I love the mountains.

Wow, amazing.
Call me crazy but I want to do that. Sure it's incredibly stupid and dangerous but everyone has to die, might as well go doing something that mankind has dreamed of for thousands of years.

When I was about 6 years old, I tried that, with a red cape, and my long johns on. Too many Superman TV shows. I jumped from my 'upper' bunk bed (I was the 'middle' brother)....and it didn't work very well. Maybe I should give it another shot....but the first one wasn't so pretty. Mom and dad took me to the 'ER'. Yeah, love those videos. Best I've ever seen of those 'wingsuit flyers'. Loved the smoke, GREAT idea. Give one a sense of where he's been and where he's going. Saw one once where a guy caught the edge of the cameraman's gear during a 'flyby', IIRC it didn't end so well either. The helo camera on this one, was a good idea  Anyone know the speeds those guy reach? What an ending...the 'roll' nails it! Thanks for posting those....
