I think this is so cool, I have always wanted to sky dive but these guys are jumping of mountains. I think it would be even better jumping from a plane.
They are using what they call wing suites

This link is a video that opens full page.

At the local looney bin.

Even so these crackpots are definitely worth watching. The footage is awesome.

Much safer in bed, BTW. (I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this in my dreams.) What gets me is that these loons are steering next to the mountain as if they were in a dream!


Also, I find it interesting how man often gets there second -

Thank's for this I got a real buzz watching these nutters.

Incredible filming too.

I'm off to sow a sheet to my duffle coat and jump off my roof...

Remided me of the incredible Yves Rossy:

Yea the biggest rush I used to get was knee-dragging high speed corners on my ninja. But this takes the cake.

This link went down just after I posted it, but it is back up again, I still have dreams of flying like this. In earler dreams I used to crash all the time but now I land on my feet.
in my dreams anyway.

But check this video out it I like the part at about the 2:26 mark where they step off the cliff.

Really great stuff this but I had a thought....

To really "fly", does one not need the option to also go "Up"?

They're not flying, they're falling with style.
Plenty of style.
To bed bath and beyond.

Well you guys have a point about falling, still looks like flying though, I wonder if they could go up if they where to soar into updrafts along the mountains.

What will happen to the skis they release? Does it fall to the ground and get broken? They are wasting ski's!:shk:
