This is crazy, must watch.

during skydiving, all i wished for was a wingsuit.

then i came home, and saw THIS video (similar to the one you posted):



DEFINITELY been added to my bucket list - manufacturer of that class of wingsuit recommends 500+ skydive jumps (with tracking suit) and 75+ wingsuit jumps before attempting. now to work on my skydiving license...

You have to have a license to skydive??

Also, not to mention, and I may be wrong here, but a lot of these guys, and places, are in Norway and Sweden. Granted, you dont have to go there, but those are probably some of the better, more lenient places as far as base jumping goes.

technically no, there is no way they can restrict you from jumping out of an airplane yourself... but if you are going to do it at a real place (get a ride up in their plane) they will not let you jump alone unless you have a license. usually its Tandem where you are strapped to a licensed person's chest. obviously its cheaper (and more fun) jumping alone, and if you have your own equipment its even cheaper... so it would be worthwhile to get a license along the way, unless you plan to always jump from your own private plane.

i hope that if im at the point where i am doing my own BASE jumping, that i would be capable of organizing a trip out that way someday. but yes you are totally correct, the US doesnt necessarily have the most scenic places to jump from - though im sure there are quite a few cool ones!

I always wanted to do this.

Deev, yes its real.

The "crack" is actually a popular spot that gliders and jumpers frequent. Its in sweden or finland or somewhere in Europe.

This on the TOP of my bucket list for sure!

Switzerland....


That is a crazy video, I'll definitely be putting a wing suit flight off that mountain on my bucketlist.

I was close.

Warren Miller had a cool clip on one of his videos of a guy doing the same thing in a wingsuit down the side of a snowy mountain. The final editing didn't make for nearly as cool of a video, but the snowy mountain gave a clear backdrop from start to finish and allowed you to see just how fast he's actually going. And that guy jumped out of a chopper and skimmed the entire mountain on the way down. Essentially what the guy in OP's video did, there just wasn't a nice cliff face to get a good start from.
