Just thought some of you might be interested in a video the company I work for has just put on line as it's pretty impressive stuff.

To give you some context, these guys are traveling at about 100 mph. There is NO margin for error. They still need to fly to clear air space to deploy a parachute to land safely.

I'm not in this video as I don't BASE jump, but I do skydive with our suits and teach others how to fly them, as well as work on R&D and test jump new suits.

Anyhow, enjoy

Oi oi Macca!
Looks awesome, roll on next summer, woohoooooooo

 

Aren't these already on youtube? Been on for a couple of years now.

 

Nope. This is brand new footage, only been online, in the public domain for 5 hours.

There are there videos of proximity flying online, but none are anywhere near as close to the skill level as shown in this video

 

Show me a video of them doing it all uphill and I'll be impressed

 

There is a better vid of somone doing a flyby on that moutain with the veiwing ledge somewhere

 

I know which one you mean, and it's not as good. The line flown is not anywhere near as close to the ground before, or after

 

I would really enjoy doing that. You can get into some quite restricted areas with such a narrow wingspan!

I would have thought big ***** would be a negative thing to have
