The slow motion parts in the video I made ^^^ up there were all shot w/ a hero2 on 120fps… IDK what twixtor is. I’ll find out.

It gives you that slow down effect where is seems to almost stop motion

Sketchy weekend for BASE.

First, I watch a friend jump a 450’ bridge, open with a perfect 180 and multiple line twists, could have been deadly (if he’d hit a support pillar) but walked away…

Then, I jump a 40 story building, have an off heading and miss my left toggle and pile onto the roof of an 18 story building. Fortunately I am able to not only escape, but escape more or less uninjured. Had anything taken a tenth of a second longer I would have slammed into the side of the building and bounced down the whole face… at best.

Then a few hours ago, Jeb Corlis fucked himself up pretty good after striking a ledge in full flight…

The thrill of the setup itself was awesome but watching it go down like that was sketchy as hell.

It looks like a bad launch if you look at 13 or 14 seconds. Not that I know much about wingsuit launches.
