Extreme Skydiving – Wingsuit Base Jumping
- bobds 16y agoIf you haven't seen anyone flying in a wingsuit, this video will blow your mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4U6T_BB1N8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4U6T_BB1N8 It's amazing watching these guys fly along mountain-sides and dangerously close to the ground. The article is about Jeb Corliss, who wants to land in a wingsuit, only without a parachute. His plan involves landing on his chest, at a very precise angle and a specially designed ramp.

- andre3k1 16y agoAs an avid skydiver (67 jumps) and a lover of fine documentaries, I must suggest that you watch "Fearless - The Jeb Corliss Story." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzQ7pdTfp2g&feature=PlayList&p=136F5902DFB763E4&index=0&playnext=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzQ7pdTfp2g&feature=PlayL... And an article worth checking out in Outsider Magazine puts the spotlight on Felix Baumgartner who plans on jumping from the edge of the atmosphere (120,000 feet). If you're into physics check out this article as it goes through the struggles his Red Bull Team is facing to ensure that he survives. http://outsideonline.com/adventure/travel-ga-aerial-sports-people-and-personalities-sports-sidwcmdev_150872.html http://outsideonline.com/adventure/travel-ga-aerial-sports-p...
