Base jumping with a Mountain Wingsuit - INTENSE !

[SAE2922]

This would be an adrenalin rush to the nth degree! Although soaring and gliding towards earth at a tremendous rate (100 + MPH), this could fulfill many people's dreams of actually flying without a machine. It would mine.

Holy Colugos! I want to try that (had I a death wish). Definitely intense.

I "had" a Russian climbing friend who used to base jump.

I would do it. Looks like fun.

I wonder which one will cost us the most - picking some inexperienced mountain climber off the side of a hill when he figures he can't make it, or cleaning the SPLAT off whatever one of those guys hits when he reaches up to scratch his nose and finds out it was a serious error in judgment?

A life dream come true.. being able to fly like a bird, and see it through their eyes... I could onlyy wish....

Holy crap! It would take some big stones to jump off the ledge for the first time.

Unbelievable. Those guys are Soooo close to death. I'm amazed at how close they get to the rocks.

Looks like a lot of fun to me! If I were a little younger I would definitely do it !
