Marblehead Posted January 25, 2012 Yep. That is amazing. But I doubt I would have tried that even when I was young and stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ish Posted January 25, 2012 You've gotta be kidding me!! I admit i would NOT try that but seriously incredible. Wonder how they tested the suit, and how many places are actually suitable to jump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chang Posted January 26, 2012 This must be akin to a deeply religious experience as I for one would feel that I was getting much nearer to meeting my maker! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Protector Posted January 26, 2012 While we're at it, how about people running on water? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan Posted January 26, 2012 DUDE I DID THAT ONCE! It was only like 4 or 5 steps, but it was just on a whim. i'd like to go at it more. Oh yeah and barefoot. fun stuff. The other one is river rapid surfing, in the pacific northwest of all places! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mal Posted January 27, 2012 I always wanted to jump off a cliff, without having to die and while low basejumping looked silly/scary jumping off a huge mountain and getting 30~60 sec freefall with a wingsuit looks awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkgJndUtUsY but you start at the start as learning to solo skydive looks no more expensive than getting my advanced open water dive licence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zerostao Posted January 27, 2012 they look like flying squirrels yo rocky!! yeah we grow up swinging from tree to tree out here in da woods. we(they still do i just quit ) used to play tag down by the creek. once i fell off a limb about 35' up and landed on the water flat on my back. that was not a good experience. took me a couple of minutes to shake that one off.

joeblast Posted January 27, 2012 that was a great vid I totally would have done that when I was younger. Now...well I'd have to take some test runs first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mal Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Well it took Jeb 9 flights (well technically 12 as he had to abort to the "escape route" 3 times) to film grinding the crack... was inspired to try after someone else had flown it. While we're at it, how about people running on water? It's amazing just how much difference really knowing that it CAN be done makes Edited January 28, 2012 by Mal Stainkey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
