The margin for error on that is so unbelievably small. I know you probably think that, but you probably don’t even realize how small it really is. My base jumping friends lost a buddy of theirs flying a wingsuit who deployed about 1/4 second too late. It’s insane… I’m sure I’ll someday fly a WS, but I doubt there will be much proximity flying in my future. ---

What’s even crazier, is to think of just how easy and thoughtless it is for birds to make those manoeuvres. These guys are professionals, spend all of their time learning and perfecting techniques, so that they can perform an activity that a bird can do flawlessly with ZERO thought. Hell, they even have the ability to put time,money,engineering into creating the perfect wing. ---

How the hell do you learn to fly? I mean, trial and error probably wouldn’t end well. ---

Well you start out of a plane not off a base, a little more room for error. lol ---

Jesus… 1:08 when he was in the gorge below the majority of the trees was insanity. I didn’t think it was physically possible to fly a wingsuit with solid brass balls that large. ---

Keep in mind that a bird is flying with the ability to increase altitude. A wingsuit is flying with gravity, cant go up, and is going about 120 mph… ---

I would love to try this… But seems like I would have to take your path first, newman, to learn all about the physics of gravity ---

I’m on my phone but search “freefly base”. It’s not wingsuit, but as a skydiver it’s fucking nuts. ---
