Middle Man Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Jokes aside, I am quite impressed at the sheer courage (not to mention, ingenuity) to hurl one's self off a tall, steep mountain; Icarus is really, really jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Ho Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 This looks like one hell of a good time. The only REALLY bad thing I see about it is, there isn't a whole lot of margin for error. I had some friends who used to do a lot of crazy skydiving. Not much of a margin of error there either. Key word in the last sentence is: had. These guys look crazy, probably know what they're doing, and hopefully are all caught up on their prayers. Cool video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree!!!....gotta have some stones to do that bit!! I shall keep my sorry behind firmly planted on solid ground!! Jim I think most of us had stones in our 20's and even 30's. But I think once you reach 40 your stones turn into common sense But I'll give 'em this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micah Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Very cool. I've been skydiving several times and would leap (yuk yuk yuk) at the chance to do this sort of jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6-shot Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Waaay cool, BUT they are out of their freakin minds! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I see it but it's still hard to believe. I would have thought that if your stones were big enough to do those jumps you would be waaaay to heavy to glide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoShooter Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) I hope that I am not the only one here that really wants to try that. Man that looks like lots of fun. Yes I really want to too, But I think it makes shooting look very ...very cheep.

shred Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Several of the various Youtube wingsuit video guys aren't with us anymore.. Looks cool, but the margin of error is about zero. http://www.splatula.com/bfl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSMITH Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I absolutely AM dumb enough to try that. Maybe when the kids are grown I can find a place to try it... I am an adrenaline junkie, don't want to die but the possibility adds a lot of thrill. Who hasn't dreamed of flying, these guys ARE flying!!
