Proximity flying documentary on telly tonight

Appreciate this is off piste but this documentary on tonight on Channel 4 looks like it could be worth the heads up. Saw some vids about this lot a while ago and always gives me goosebumps. Phenomenal.

YouTube - Wingsuit Base Jumping

jeezycreezy that bit where he flies past the road gives me the the willies.

Isn't it smallfurry on his way home from the pub?

the first time i saw that I nearly choked with joy, god only knows what it must feel like to actually do it.

These people are bonkers, plainly.
Its a repost though.

^ Ach, by the power of greyskull!

Heads up its just started.

Imagine if they could incorporate little kicks to spin of walls n such.

113% pure awesome.

Fucking tv on it's way to Aus!
That looks like living the best flying dream ever. Redbull human racing....coming soon.

Turned over to 2. Fahking whingeing septic.

I know what you mean, "I live in Millionaires paradise but I want to kill myself" twat but I am waiting for the Matterhorn scenery.

He had a nice bedroom in his parents' house.

YOU'RE 33 YEARS OLD!

He may live the dream but what a stupid Barclays Bank

This is amazing, watching it now!

The sound of that other guy hitting the bridge wasn't good!

you mean "Splatt"

I'm fighting the urge to you-tube it to see how bad it really was!

That bit on Matterhorn was mental!

Dissapointed.

The bloke is a bit of a twat, but he's got some balls to do that.

Could have condensed it into 15 min

Yep - disappointing.

The flying is awesome but the guy was a penis. In my opinion.

Dude was a total fuck up - but shit he has balls - he is now trying to land without a parachute:

"Pioneer B.A.S.E. jumper Jeb Corliss and Go Fast!® - sponsored test pilot Luigi Cani, have paved the way for a world record landing attempt of a wing-suit—minus a parachute. Jeb and Luigi teamed up to gauge speeds and gather data to safely land Jeb’s wing-suit. Testing was critical, as no one has ever survived a landing attempt without a parachute. Jeb flew in free fall donning a parachute alongside Luigi, who was at the controls of the world’s smallest and fastest parachute—known as the ICARUS VX-39. The two were able to gather data using GPS systems attached to Luigi that tracked exact forward speeds, exact fall rate and glide angles needed for a safe landing.

              After two days of test piloting, Jeb Corliss said landing the                    wing-suit was possible as early as next year. “We found                    there is a definite and reasonable speed for a landing attempt                    sometime next summer. We’re now developing four different                    types of technologies to land safely—it’s very important                    to land with zero injuries,” said Corliss after analyzing                    data from the test flight.

              Showcasing the evolution of the sport of skydiving, Luigi Cani                    remarked on the uniqueness of Jeb’s wing-suit project.                    “The testing shows the technology of the sport—nowadays                    we can jump a parachute that flies as fast as a person in free                    fall and currently we’re discovering technology to land                    a wing-suit without a parachute,” said Cani. “If                    Jeb lands the wing-suit without a parachute and survives—he                    is going to be my hero,” added Cani"**

the bloke was a complete tool
if only there was less about the blokes personality and a bit more about the interesting stuff i.e the flying
good programme ruined by the idiot bloke being interviewed

seems to be the way of tv these days
