Some BASE jumping lunacy
This made chills run down my spine...
Wingsuit BASE jumping wows us with its accuracy and disregard for personal... - StumbleUpon

I know I would die.... I'm notorious for mucking things like that up. I'd clip a tree and it would all be over with....

I love these videos...the scene arching past the overlook house is classic.
I'm going to go research the suit loading, glide ratio and speed of these aviation studs. There is nothing not to like about these folks...the routes are well planned, the gear looks right and I'd like nothing better than to learn what they know. As an old helo guy, reminds me of ten feet and 140kts, happy.

The only way to get you off the mountain is with a sponge. You could OD on adrenalin, Looks like a fun way to burn in.

I don't fly that close to fixed objects in a powered aircraft, certainly wouldn't do it in silk pajamas.

Betcha soon they'll be able to stick a landing without a chute. Now that would rock!

Falling with style. Cameras are integrated, the air looks perfect (little turbulence, good air), the wing (suit) loading and stability is rock steady...I just have to hand it to these folks.
