Extreme Sport Too Extreme For Me

This is just fvckin gnarly but never, ever, in a million years would I ever have the balls to give this a go. http://www.break.com/index/insane-wingsuit-base-jump

I saw a special about this on tv not too long ago. One of the guys tried to go under a bridge and hit it instead.

THOSE GUYS ARE NUTS!!! I would do that in an airplane or jet fighter or somethign.. but not with just a wingsuit.. no way.. i think i would be to heavy at 260lbs anyways

I saw that same show Stack. Thats what I was thinking of when I watched this. That dude got cut in half right in front of his buddy video taping it. I cant imagine seeing something like that.

[stack_it]

yeah it'd be hard to get over. The dudes plans to fly through the tube in Vegas with no chute is insane tho. Did you see the part of that show where he talked about it?

I dont remember that part. The only part that stuck with me was the guy hitting the bridge and the sound it made when he hit.

What tube in Vegas?

[stack_it]

He wants to build a giant tubular tunnel that runs down the center of the Vegas strip and fly through it in a wing suit and landing on the other side with no chute. It's supposed to be a few football fields long.

[jbran23]

The part towards the end where the guy is flying though the canyon has to be an unbelievable rush! It just looks insane in the video so imagine that in person. Has to be as close to feeling like you are Superman and flying as you can get.

Yeah I don't think I could do it. I think there's only a handful of people who can do it.

Nuts. I wonder how many people have died doing this? It seems like they try to fly as close as possible to everything to give them the greatest feeling of flying. They get as close to the sides of the cliffs and as close to the tops of the trees and what not that the slightest mistake would be tragedy. Not much room for error.

I would think the death toll to wing suit flyer ratio would be high.

That guy is BATMAN!!!!!!!!!!

AMAZING

yeah those guys are ws proximity flying..i jump but i have yet to put on a wing suit there's a handful of birds at my dz that's all those guys do, they get out last..quite a few guys have gone in ws prox flying..eli the guy that used to host stunt junkies went in prox flying not too long ago...ground rush is pretty intense below 2k i cant imagine wing suiting within several feet of shit..granted you dont have the high vertical speeds in a wingsuit but its all transferred to forward speed some of the lighter guys with the advanced suits at my dz can get down to around 40ish mph vertical but they're humming across at 150+ opposed to use freeflying doing around 140ish vertical...typical belly to earth flat flying is around 115vertical


the death toll is not high at all considering how many jumps are made daily you're more likely to die in a car crash

[jbran23]

Another vid

[ReX357]

I was wondering about the landing til I seen that last video. That makes sense.

[ReX357]

And btw, these people are crazy.

[sixoner]

LOL not too crazy bro..just normal peeps

we jump our asses off unfortunately if you don't jump the only time most people see or hear anything is when somebody goes in so it seems kinda crazy..but its not as bad as its made out to be the main killer these days is people biffing under highly loaded canopies..all things considered its fairly safe, but like many other things stupid hurts and sometimes you don't get a second chance when you fuk up

The stunt junkie guy is the one that's planning that tube thing in Vegas.

[sixoner]

yeah there's always somebody talking about trying to land a wingsuit..the guy im referring to is eli thompson used to jump at perris he was the original host for stunt junkies and unless he's been resurrected it isnt him

eli went in with nothing out about a year ago in switzerland prox flying with a wingsuit

[g0dsend]
