If you ever dreamed of flying like a bird, you can...

If this is not the coolest thing in the world I'm weird, THIS ROCKS. it's sport in Norway and is growing around the world, oh yeah it is called a wing suit. when I am old enough to get a skydiving liscense I know the first thing I'm going to buy.

My buddy is going through the process of getting his certifications. He recently graduated to "solo" jumps. I need to pass this along.

...As seen in use by Laura Croft in Cradle of Life...

[Hasid Lafre]

Yeah and thats a movie where Iam sure that bit was done in a studio like everything else in holywood

[Do-Clo]

[Nightwing]

No cables, no pads, no BS... and--not quite as expensive! :)

Although I can certainly appreciate the bird-man thing since I've done a few skydives before.

That guy is crazy novastar :shock::shock::shock::shock::shock:

That's Anis. He's awesome. But then again, so are people like Sessh, Hans Wikkeling, Chris DeVera, Sammy Vasquez, Kjer, Matt Emig, Joe Gayacan and many others.

But yeah--for "flying men", they're aces... look 'em up for yourself on Y-tube if you wish. That's the "LoopKicks" kind of thing I was alluding to (and had some thread on) some time ago.

As it is... I was just getting some training from Hans W. today, and... MAN DID IT CLEAN UP my Butterfly Twist. Wow. Results in an hour--that's sick... and it's inspiring me to keep at it.

SORRY TO DE-RAIL, but... hey... it's flying stuff, eh?! :)

NOPE Watch the DVD extras They did a bunch of real jumps in Shanghai to get the shot without S E they only used creative editing to make it one shoot

yes, acrobats (backflips) are awsome I do them myself, though I still think flying at 2000 feet would rock.
