@Apentogo No ones forcing you to do it, if other people want to have fun it's their choice, not yours. Don't be so arrogant you think complete strangers give a shit what you think because they don't. You're just a bitter prick.
Just make sure ur roof is atleast 5000 feet above the ground + dont forget to take ur parachute, or aim for a trampoline nd U ll be fine. Good luck. Please share your jump video later.
Having done wingsuit skydive for about 40 jumps I never really enjoyed it. Had about 350 regular skydive jumps, mostly doing freefly there was little guidance about it on our dropzone (Europe). It was still a relatively new thing (this is around 2008 I'm talking about) and at our DZ there were perhaps 3 people doing it and there wasn't really that much interest by many in doing wingsuiting. When I expressed curiousity a jumper I knew gave me a beginners wingsuit. It was rather tiny, more like an oversized tracking suit than an actual wingsuit. There was no real guidance or anything I was just told to mind my position when exiting and to pull with legs together and both hands backward as to remain stable during deployment. Flight was stable but didn't get at all the impression I was actually speeding forward in the sky. In fact I thought I'd do better during a tracking jump. Afterwards I bough a S-Fly Expert wingsuit. A french design and unlike the name suggest it's a beginner to intermediate wingsuit. Still, flying it I never got the idea I flew fast. Sure my dives went on for much longer but flying alone wasn't that special, you're just flying flat all the way down in the same position. For someone who was used to doing freefly jumps and doing them with other people this wingsuiting got boring pretty quickly. Another thing were the parachute openings. Not harsh but not butter soft either but it always was pretty violent. Your legs get swooped from the back right up in front due to the forward momentum being halted rather suddenly. Of course nobody bother to explain to me that pitching up before deployment was a nicer way of doing that. But the main factor I don't like was the fact that jumping with a wingsuit feels like jumping with a straight jacket. Your arms and legs are locked to a certain limited range of motion and I never liked that. One time I had some gnarly line twists going on and had to "battle" my wingsuit first before I would battle my chute to fix the problem. Wasn't fun. I did at least jump with 20 wingsuits at once at the GAP festival in 2009. For some reason I was designated the center of the formation (also first to exit the plane) to which every other jumper should orient himself during forming up. That was a pretty special experience especially considering with my low experience numbers. But I was able to fly a fixed position and that was good enough.
Wow I am so honored that I have been able to watch ⌚ these incredible videos of flight in wing suits. I have always known about skydiving however I can't believe that these wing suits have been around so many years already. I am so sad to here about the many pilots gave had accidents and sadly they died. I pray they find a safer way for these species folks who have lost their lives .
I've been thinking the same thing for a while now -- except I get the feeling that there isn't much 'try' in being successful at this. It seems to be do or die. Ha! I like the proximity flying, but it looks like there's NO room for error with that style. Super-cool, indeed!.
after watching so many jeb corliss videos, im not used to seeing rookie flyers and their shaking. lol, still, it looks a like a hell of a lot of fun. i seriously want to do this. it must feel awesome to know that youre actually flying. btw, how long does an average wingsuit course take?
there is a huge difference between base gear and skydive gear and you have some rules in skydive which change from drop zone to drop zone. Trust me is way harder then it looks.
@FocusOM: Unstable flight due to imperfect body positioning. It's his first flight course (FFC) so it can't be that perfect. What you're seeing here actually looks quite decent for first flight. Flight will become more stable as the pilot progresses.
You think I would lie about my ability to fly!? Who do you think you are to question my awesome power! I'm like superman, and I don't need to prove myself to you!
I know, that shit is brutal financially. Actually, I began AFF to get my skydiving cert. first, which you may already know that's a must. Then, I believe most drop zones require at least 200 freefall solos before you can even attempt wing suit classes. I did 4 solos and hit a financial hill myself and have not yet completed AFF. Suck, man. But priorities are priorities. Cheers man.
I'm curious... Is it possible for anyone to manoeuvre a U-Turn to glide towards opposite direction than the one they began with? Also, at what altitude is switching to parachute recommended?
@bmxchris thanks. i know about having to skydive first, and even that must be the ultimate rush. for me, i think its just making sure that parachute is packed right, then i'll have no problem jumping. :D
not really it is still very tiring but because the adreneline rush you do really feel it until later of when your on the ground think about it theres approximately air rushing at around 120 mph past your body the forces exerted and quite large your conteracting these forces and it is tiring the same as any extreme sport
@jackm6487: You don't have to go that far, you can definitely do it in Europe. For example, I'm from Germany, we have about 90 drop zones here and most of them will offer AFF (which is the recommended training method nowadays) training and also wingsuit FFC. In the UK there are supposed to be about 30 drop zones. Head to "dropzone.com" to locate them and then contact them for FFCs. Even if they don't offer FFCs, you can accumulate the 200 jumps there, then head to a different DZ to do the FFC.
It takes about an hour of instruction if you've never jumped before. You can rent everything right there at the dropzone (that's the parachute place at the airport) and it costs only about $50 until you buy your own gear and then it's cheaper...
Yes, I do realize that.. I was just saying that I thought the suit would be more stable. Not talking down on the dude for his first go, i thought he did a great job.. just figured the suit would be more stable out of the box.
You get lift, you fly horizontally like a bird, of course you get lift. Just controlling your rate of falling depends on your angle of attack and speed.
i think it will take some awfull lot of arm power , because of the wind speed i guess,i think you would feel some mussle burning after , but dear lord i want to do this also, do you need to be a well known parashuit jumper before you can do this???
Of course it looks easy. The cat has a ton of chute jumps before anybody will do wingsuit training with him. He's not a first jump freak out. And it's a really good first flight.
One day...
Eric Buzz did that day came yet?
Lmao I thought the exaclty same thing :D
@Apentogo No ones forcing you to do it, if other people want to have fun it's their choice, not yours. Don't be so arrogant you think complete strangers give a shit what you think because they don't. You're just a bitter prick.
Apentogo pulling pud is the most fun you’ll ever have.
Any updates ?
right got that out of the way -time for some proximity flying
im going to take this videos advice and make my own wingsuit and jump off my roof ! :D this is going to be so great !
me too! such a wonderful idea
Just make sure ur roof is atleast 5000 feet above the ground + dont forget to take ur parachute, or aim for a trampoline nd U ll be fine. Good luck. Please share your jump video later.
ill use a Go Pro
I can see it now, like South Park wing suit made out of card board😂😂😂😂😂😂
i'll watch em
Wow.... I learned so much!

Dang, that looks like fun!!! Where do I sign up?
Matthew T. Lowe at the signing office
well done Richard!!
Put a wheel on head and knee try landing like f18..
YES. only if you fuck up you break every bone in your body maybe with a neck brace and motorcycle armor it would be doable
+H2OMC doable? I think you mean possible.
+Blah Blah Blah doable is perfectly fine there too. Go look at a dictionary.
Ahahahah that cracked me up! nice one lol
Very well captured on video. Good job, videographer.
This guy looks like neil patrick harris
yea lol
So happy i live 30 minutes from elsinore xD AFF and FFC all in the same place! talk about a Home DZ!!

Alright now time to go jump off a building, I know how to fly
+Harrison Peglar rip
DatOneTallGuy if you could fly u would do a RUclips video on it but u didn't so lie
You think I would lie about my ability to fly!? Who do you think you are to question my awesome power! I'm like superman, and I don't need to prove myself to you!
@@anberlynnmartinez2581 r/wooosh or am I getting woooshed here
For anyone that's ever been skydiving. Do you get that feeling in your stomach like you do on a rollercoaster?
On the bucket list...
thx for the music description ^^ so good this voice damn 3:D
I have a horrible fear of heights, but this is one of my biggest dreams
Wish I could do this it looks beautiful :)
Thats amaziiinnnggggg,i dream of trying this
it seems very exciting !! nice music.
enjoy the life ! ;-)
I GOTTA TRY THIS!
amazing videos
such a new perspective

@JamesStickel
It's stable with experience. It's his first flight on the video.
Great video handling.
I'm curious... Is it possible for anyone to manoeuvre a U-Turn to glide towards opposite direction than the one they began with? Also, at what altitude is switching to parachute recommended?

me too! let's go together! HAHA I get goosebumps just imagining how amazing this feels :D
Where we dropping boys?
@bmxchris thanks. i know about having to skydive first, and even that must be the ultimate rush. for me, i think its just making sure that parachute is packed right, then i'll have no problem jumping. :D

INCREDIBLE :D
Finally I can feel like I'm flying, Chronicle style!!!
Cool video ...
Thanks
Super et la musique aussi. Merci
amazing....!
wow this really teached me a lot......
yes you need some experience. where Im from you need 500 jumps total, or 200 within 18 months. check with your local dropzone :)
oh shit its Darren! that guy is cool as hell
@jackm6487: You don't have to go that far, you can definitely do it in Europe.

Where and how did you get a flying (squirrel) suit? I want one SO bad!!!
One day I'll try it
It seems that his buying wingsuit is as buying skisuit! BRAVOOO!
Awesome 🎩
السلام عليكم
cool, awesome...
How much more freefall time do you get with a wingsuit in skydiving? from 10000-15000ft?
I always wanted to fly.
dear extreme video, can you keep up your tendency of posting awsome videos with awsome soundtrack, and mention its name in description! thank you!
@stalk3r332 shawn lee kiss the sky
To experience it on a really small scale try a "Super G Wingsuit" toy first!
бэйс джампинг это вообще удивительный вид спорта. только в 20-ом и 21-ом веках люди достигли возможности летать.
you can tandem in floriduh at 16 wiff maw and or paws release signature, so come on sukka let's go!
i like the part where they explain how to do it.
awesome... im doing this
i thought that looked like Darren instructing...
great video
I want to fly above a city screaming " I'M BATMAN "
kiss the sky, by shawn lee's ping pong orchestra
Do your arms get tired holding them in that position flying?
That looks solo fun
I JUMP THERE AT ELSINORE!
Ferris? To get my 200 free falls prior to wingsuit training, how many can a person get in per day ? Thanks!
He's got it :)
I must do that when I grow up
I remember watching this video before I ever did my first skydive
that was RAD dude
check description..
@Flogervideo kiss the sky shawn lee's ping pong orchestra vs nino moschella
proximity flying is the shit
Where did you get that wing suit anyway is it soo costly
First; where is this place?
Second; what type of wingsuit is that?
Every thing I needed to know
once in the air, the air flow on the suit does most of the work
What´s the Song in the Movie?
It´s awesome!!
Where can I go to start this process of learning
LateNightLosers 420 most drop zones will teach wingsuit flying once you achieve your solo license and have 200 jumps in your logbook.
do you have to pay more for the wingsuit suit
Do you get on the plane with your feet in the booties or do you put them on before you exit??
Yes, I do realize that.. I was just saying that I thought the suit would be more stable. Not talking down on the dude for his first go, i thought he did a great job.. just figured the suit would be more stable out of the box.
nice
kiss the guy, by shawn lee
Is it hard to fly with a wingsuit?
Can you get lift in a wingsuit? or can you control the rate of fall in one? can someone please fill me in
You get lift, you fly horizontally like a bird, of course you get lift. Just controlling your rate of falling depends on your angle of attack and speed.
That's dangerous!
Amazing video!!!!!!!!!! Title of the song please???
Shawn lee kiss the sky
That is so cool. Were You afraid?
California, Skydive Elsinore
how much does it cost all in all?
It's cool :-)
i think it will take some awfull lot of arm power , because of the wind speed i guess,i think you would feel some mussle burning after , but dear lord i want to do this also, do you need to be a well known parashuit jumper before you can do this???
did we have to pump air into wingsuit
what are wing suits made of???
Where is this training centre?
Of course it looks easy. The cat has a ton of chute jumps before anybody will do wingsuit training with him. He's not a first jump freak out. And it's a really good first flight.
the birds =) hahaha
Looks a little more unstable than I imagined it to be.. Looks fun as hell though!
