    Default 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.

    linky to offical site.

    linky to a movie of people using the wing suit

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

    There are also ways to "fly" such as this...

    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'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?!
