Thread title worried me...

Fuuuu..... :eek:

The bit with the balloons was a tad close, lol! Would love to do wing suiting if I had the skill. Don't think my wife would let me though.

Indeed. I wonder what kind of speed he is travelling at, very close to the mountainside and trees at some points. Amazing vid.

Like a dream.

Thanks for sharing

Heres another fantastic one http://youtu.be/oaMTSOI1Zk4

I'd love to know just how much control they have in angle of flying, must be a fair amount to be able to go that close to the floor.

Great video. He was certainly speeding past those balloons.

The sense of speed is what gets me. Seems like he is going at a steady pace from the onboard footage but he absolutley belts past those balloons.

I was thinking how peaceful and serene it was, it looked awesome, and then he shot past the balloons!

I now have something I want to do more than skydiving :eek:

This is the serious stuff:

He is one of the best proximity wing suit flyers by far. He is the same guy that Channel 4 done a documentary on which I believe is still on 4oD, well worth a watch

Skilid · 5 Sep 2011 at 15:37

He is a dude

The speed they fly at is crazy.

What strikes me is if they misjudged the rate at which they are descending, they would smack into the ground. Or a sudden gust of wind could push them off course into a tree.

Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing feat, but to the point of being suicidal.
