Check this video out, some insane footage from Norway. Jumping off the world's highest cliffs and then using a wing suit to essentially fly around. Looks like so much fun....

From what I understand you have to complete something like 200 solo jumps before you can train with the wing suit and high velocity parachute they use. Still going from 120 mph to a near stop has got to be tricky...

 That wingsuit stuff is heinous!!  There's a video out there from Stunt Junkies were a poor fella hits a bridge girder at full speed.  :yikes:
22RE .30 over, mild cam, K&N, LCE header, 2.25'' pipe, high flow cat, Magnaflow.
Marlin 1200LB clutch

no substitute for 4wheel drive.

:shudder:


That sucks. Definitely dangerous, no doubt about that. I mean look how close that one guy got while skimming that bridge. He was like 5-6 feet above the ground if that.
