Many of you may have seen the videos I post up of the guys I work with skimming inches away from the rock face as they buzz walls at over 100mph hour in a wingsuit...

Well, arguably the best guy in the world at this is my boss, a guy called Robert Pecnik.

We've just put this interview together with him talking about why he does it, where he see's it going, and an interesting story about his hamster when he was younger...

Check it out here, it's quite interesting, even if you're not into the sport

Good stuff

Not so good for the Hamster though

Its something I would love to try, but not sure whether I could put my trust in the parachute.

I spent all those years avoiding having to use one and not all that keen on doing it now.

At the end of the day Les, a quote from the film Navy Seals sets it for me.


"Why should I jump out of perfectly servicable aircraft that can land?"

Leslie

That is straight out of the aircrew bible!

Have you seen some of the aircraft we jump from?? Trust me, i'm much happier not landing with them!

Leslie

Oh dear, its a worry when it comes to that!

What an adrenaline buzz that must be flying down tight mountain passes. No margin for error given the speed they are travelling.

Where's the FUN in that
