Topic: Wingsuit Base Jumping

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 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.
