Filed under: obama, oh boy., that's how i'm goin', tomfoolery, video
this is a must watch.
i don’t really care what interests you on a normal basis, because this isn’t a normal basis. this is what happens when you get bored with the fact that humans aren’t evolving into flying creatures any time soon. what you’re about to see is probably one of the craziest videos in existence. it’ll keep you occupied for the next day or so as i work out the kinks in this thing i like to call DC to BC v3.0. enjoy, and welcome back.
damn. listen to what one of the guys said around 1:15 deep in the video:
“at the beginning of wingsuit base jumping, we were trained to get as far from the wall as possible…but now it’s getting boring, so we play around.“

Comment by Freida 01.22.09 @ 4:46 amI saw a story about this on ESPN and one of these guys is planning on jumping out of a plane and landing without a parachute, he’s trying to build some kind of runway on the strip in Vegas, these guys are nuts.
Comment by OneIllKid 01.22.09 @ 12:12 pmhaha yea i saw that espn story too. but they arent stupid reeeeally….im sure they take physics into account. i just keep thinking about nails scraping on the cliffs. like if they got too close. ugh.
anyway, not gonna lie, it looks like crazy fun. id be down. not really for the playin around part yet though.
Ya well as far as not dying there’s also a video of a stunt where two guys were trying to dodge a bridge doing this and one of them slams into it and pretty much explodes. Maybe give me a nice open area and like 4 parachutes then we’ll talk.

Comment by Mouse aka The Waldorf Posterboy 01.23.09 @ 1:13 pmlmao @ everyone gettin on your case about the wall. damn, fall back. but this is so ill. i would love to try it sometime after the proper training, of course. but i would buy a super microscope to investigate my suit before every jump, cuz one rip or tear or hole in that shit will fuck up the aerodynamics of that joint and kapoot. ooooo that would be rough, lol.
