You Sir are an inspiration, I am new to the sport and will be dedicating myself for the next 2 years to gain as much knowledge and experiance as I can. I hope that some day I can visit that part of the world to experiance the ultimate human flight.
@HalvorAngvik I just wanted to thank you HalvorAngvik for the amazing and inspring stuff you and the other jumpers do, When i was very sick in hospital, watching clips like this gave me the will power to continue, and its a dream of mine to oneday try out Base myself to help inspire others like myself. So thank you from the bottom of my heart, its people like you that played a role in saving mylife :) Ive had one tandem at 7000 feet, it was so scary jumping, but freefall was an amazing feeling
I recently did my first parachute jump of my life and I gotta say this video is even more impressive now that I have a 'slight' idea of the feeling. Who knows maybe i'll be doing this in 10 years ^^
@tarsanth thats because it cant really be measured in time. How long time it takes depends on 1) how much time and money you have to do AFF course, buy euipment and jump an insane ammount of jumps, and travel to jump even more when you cant jump due to winter or bad weather on your local dropzone 2) how fast you learn, and how the rules for wingsuit flying from planes in your country is 3) how easy you can get into the base community and the avaliability of mountains to jump where you live
Mister Halvor, i was introduced to wingsuit in 2003 by a video from Loic Jean Albert in Verbier (i don't fly yet unfortunatly), but you were the one who really rocked my socks with your videos. Stay safe, keep flying (or do anything else you love) and PLEASE, post us a new goddamn video, it's been ages ;) Peace
@XxBIoodshotxX Its not a bad idea to be comfortable with altitude and have done some climbing, but 90% of all jumps ive done is just steep hiking, so if you dont like being exposed you just stay away from the jumps that involve climbing. About arching, why do you arch when you skydive? To be in a stable possition for falling straight down. If you arch in a wingsuit, you will still not go straight down, but you will stall the suit. In a wingsuit you de-arch to create a wing foil with your body.
I had about 300 skydives mabye and it took me 1 1/2 skydiving seasons to get there, didnt do much else those years to put it in other words.. Trondheim is not so far from the three valleys, romsdalen, eikesdalen and litjdalen. The best place to see wingsuit flying is definitely trollstigen in romsdalen. hang out there on a sunny day mid summer and there will be people flying past for sure :)
@1amserge It is constructed as an inflating airfoil covering your legs and arms, creating lift like a wing or a canopy. You get glideratios around 3-1 with high performance wings. I would say it takes enough experience to fly this way, how much that is varies a lot, but you definitely don't start flying like this on your first day :)
You and Jokke, (and also the frenchmen over at allez) are like rockstars to me!! Love your WS skills. Every new video I see from you is jaw dropping. Hope I can meet you guys one day :) Looking forward to The Need For Speed. Well done!!!
@HalvorAngvik That's good news my friend! It's really an amazing video. I hope you get top sponsors to enjoy your sports, the best equipment possible, and stay safe. God Speed, Halvor. (wow, that dead tree sure does stick up above the rest ... when I was visualising your flight full screen, I must say I nearly shat!)
@Oyo321 You can never gain altitude when the only force in work is gravity, but you can change your vertical angle a lot. When you approach something it is important to fly on a steep angle, so you have the option to flat out and gain altitude compared to the object you are aiming at.
@Snowwie88 you can flat out the vertical speed to a point where you might survive, but the horizontal speed will kill you. If you are going to land a wingsuit it has to be done on a slope on the right angle, like a ramp.
@NerdGasims I had around 500+ skydives when i started wingsuit base, and have about 1000+ skydive- and basejumps now. I never started proxyflying, I just gradualy aproach the terrain once i knew i was comfortable enough to focus on something else than just the exit, flight and pull. If you feel that you have to make a choice to start proxyflying, you are most likely not ready, it should come naturaly and in small steps over a lot of jumps :)
@Zisaar Its not superhard to learn, but it requires some time and dedication because it takes time hiking up those mountains to get the practise. It also takes quite a lot time to prepare to even start basejumping, and from there to start wingsuit base jumping.
@zockk There is no regulations, but about 200 jumps is reasonable if you want to have a safe foundation for bigwall jumping. It also helps your progress faster in the base environment. I did about 250 in those two years.
@honestann Speed is your friend, the more speed you have the more energy you have to manouver. big floaty flocking suits will get you far, but unless you can fly them steep and fast its not the best choice for proximity flying.
@tylrjsph about 200km/h groundspeed and 250 airspeed, depending on the suit, mass/wing ratio and angle of attack. Usually i fly between 150 and 180km/h groundspeed
@marckart66 everything is easy once you know it, but yeah, compared to a lot of other extreme sports i would say that learning the basics of flying a wingsuit is quite easy. Its doing a safe progression towards it that takes time.
Yeah, a friend of mine actually impacted into trees in full flight this summer, and got away with it with minor injuries, still its 1 in a million i think, but its definitely better than rocks :)
@philosoful hehe, no, its a regular phoenix-fly phantom2 wingsuit, but he is wearing a smokebox on his leg. I just thought it was a nice ending shot :)
Great vid!!! I do a lot of flying in lucid dreams...and this video just whets my appetite even more!! :D I'd love to experience something like this is "real life"...start small, yeah?
Halvor Hello ... this is one of the most extreme videos I've seen my ... Congratulations ...!!! The proximity with which you fly through the trees and the land are incredible. I live in Brazil and I am also skydiver ... soon begin to train a wingsuit flight with a coach in my area jumping here in Brazil. Blue sky and good jumps to you Halvor. Ah ... where is this platform where were the tourists?
@Dashwood1000 ooooh, there are tons of things i want to try still, but of what i do now it's definitely wingsuit proximity flying i like the most, but its good with the variation and to have different stuff for the different seasons and speedriding and skiing is great to :)
@tarsanth yeah, thats the only way to find out. Once you've done your fist 100 and get to talk to experienced jumpers, you'll get a good understanding of the work you'll have to put into it
@philosoful ohhh..i dont know. I used to fly fast with phantom like 200+ the entire flight because it felt like it had a higher stallspeed and i generally had a better glide and flight if i went steep and fast. With the vampire i feel i have so much more range so the speed varies more. I think i can fly the vampire in the range of 130-230 km/h airspeed, but i havent really looked at the speed when i've been looging. I only used my gps data to work on the glide in the start.
@spinbaba It is a dead tree, so there is no guy wires :) Dead trees can be a little bit hard to spot, but i knew about this one, it was not my first flight on that slope.
They're making a 3d movie about this... Can't wait to see that on IMAX 3d. It's really the closest we can get to real flight, so I'd love to try out a wingsuit (but then as a normal skydiver. I'm not one of those ultimate thrillseekers like the guys (an girls?) in this video.)
@xtpawtx you need a littlebit more than basic level to fly this close within reasonable risks. I have focused on proxy flying every spare time i have, both winter and summer the last two years and have done about 200 wingsuit jumps during that time, but it all depends on avaliable jumps, time, who you jump with and your personal progression.
@blacklighthc not so much when I basejump. the noice from the air when you fly is to much to hear the music, but I often have it on for the exit and the canopy ride. Even if i would hear the music i dont think i would notice its there in flight, im to consentrated about the line. I use it a lot for speedflying though :)
@Zisaar If you are standing on scratch with no skydiving experience it takes less preparations to start speedriding, than to start basejumping. It is two totally different sports, so its hard to compare the two in terms of difficulty. Neither is hard in any way if you go to the right place with the right gear and the right guys, and don't totally fuck up. The main difference is that if you start the right place in speedriding and fuck up, you can try again. If you fuck up in base thats harder
Very Nice! Did anyone else notice what looks like a microwave tower on the slope at 2:12? Damn that was close! I wonder if he saw it or just lucked-out and missed the guy-wires?
Probably my favorite Proximity Flying video. I really like all your vids, but this one...! The colors, the line, the landscape, the music... I guess you never had a 'big' trouble during your base jump session (otherwise, you wouldn't be here), but did you had a big scary jump session? (tangled up with lines, wingsuit teared up, etc...)
@HalvorAngvik Thanks for the info. I've climbed a few times and I was curious as to how you get to the top and how the wingsuits work. I've seen yours and Jokke's videos, very nice flying keep it up. love the videos :)
IT is in norway, in møre and romsdal. The most famous part of norway for BASE. It is on the other side of the troll latter. Just google it and you will find it =D
I know, i couldnt do any speedflying last season and didnt film any base this season. I'll try to get some motivation to get the filming going again this summer...
@jcbball717 Its not slowed down, but the wide angle lense might make it seem a bit slow. I haven't been doing GPS logging in a while, but i think my speed usually is between 150-230 km/h depending on the angle
@surfingsince2000 The best way to go about it is to take your time, get all the basic skills you need from skydiving to do it safe, and learn from an experienced base jumper...and dont trust anything you hear on the internet :)
@frenzy2125 haha, no, they had no clue, and there is a big waterfall next to it so they didnt hear me either. If i had seen them looking at me i would have gone closer, but i didnt want to spook them and have tourists complaining so i decided to go with a good gap on the side in sted of over their heads :)
not meaning to be morbidly curious and i mean no disrespect to those who have lost there lives but i realise that if you crash or contact anything it would be devostating (obv), but is there actually a better chance of surviving say an impact and impeding crash into trees than say a rocky stretch and if so do u find urself flying any different, even sub conciously. love these vids u r all inspiring and clearly have balls of solid rock...respect all of u guys
@sysen Not everything goes to plan all the time, so its important to have a solid plan b. There have been scary moments, like in most extreme sports :)
Amazing stuff, I'd love to try this. I have done some skydiving in the past and there isn't too much skill involved, this looks alot different though. So how much skill is involved in this and how long does it take to be able to get to a basic level ? Thanks
Halvor, what is an 'average' proximity flying speed?/What's the highest speed you've done whilst doing proximity? It looks insanely fast in the new PF video with the Vampire mods... Thanks again, sooooo inspiring.
10 years later still one of the best videos of wingsuit !!!
Respect Halvor 🙏🏽
I think the adrenaline is beautiful in the wingsuit. Norway has a beautiful landscape =)
This has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Wow.
You Sir are an inspiration, I am new to the sport and will be dedicating myself for the next 2 years to gain as much knowledge and experiance as I can. I hope that some day I can visit that part of the world to experiance the ultimate human flight.
The best video / music!!!! 10/10
....unbelievable - but there it is - fantastic...
I know the feeling. I had a flying dream that was insane and I so badly want another.
Jawdropping footage, pure lines !!
Wow! words seem so lame after watching something so mindblowing!, all i can say is thankyou for sharing a dream!
Back in the days. Long time no seen gamle ørn. 10år siden allerede når vi rocka fjella som værst.
That's One more thing to add to my "to do list before I die"! Looks pretty awesome!
@HalvorAngvik
I just wanted to thank you HalvorAngvik for the amazing and inspring stuff you and the other jumpers do, When i was very sick in hospital, watching clips like this gave me the will power to continue, and its a dream of mine to oneday try out Base myself to help inspire others like myself.

Ive had one tandem at 7000 feet, it was so scary jumping, but freefall was an amazing feeling
Awesome fly!! and so close....!!!! Fantastic!!!
Amazing footage! I don't have the words ....
Halvor is simply the best, but he doesn't like us to say so :)
@HalvorAngvik
Thanks for the encouragement! I plan to be flying past at some point...
it's like a dream!! Fantastic!
So amazing! Inspired me to change my life, seriously
when u turn at 1:59 and the music rising, i got chills! Great vid, awesome editing work!
I recently did my first parachute jump of my life and I gotta say this video is even more impressive now that I have a 'slight' idea of the feeling. Who knows maybe i'll be doing this in 10 years ^^
Simply brilliant...very nice footage. Can't help clicking on replay.
Keep safe, because there are people waiting for new videos :DD
Blue skyes!
Fair play to you again for some rocking footage and tunage :) that is just amazing well done Halvor-stay safe man!
@tarsanth
thats because it cant really be measured in time. How long time it takes depends on

It usually means the number of seconds you wait in freefall before you release your canopy.
@blacklighthc
not so much when I basejump. the noice from the air when you fly is to much to hear the music, but I often have it on for the exit and the canopy ride.

At 2:15 you can see superman flying first and General Zod following him trying to get to him

hiking mountains and living in a tent is pretty cheap, but getting into base and getting the equipment is quite expensive

OH HELLLL YEA I GOT TO DO DIS BEFORE I DIE!!
you guys got balls ^^ very cool vid .
@Moonshine12
Yeah...havent had any other focus since i started skydiving. It takes hard priorities.
@sysen
Not everything goes to plan all the time, so its important to have a solid plan b. There have been scary moments, like in most extreme sports :)
skydiving + basejumping + crack
@Bobojakalin
A bit off season now, but there will be more :)
Its the same music in the entire clip, justice - genesis
Thanks for the comments guys :)
Yeaaah Ha ha haaalvor:D Suuuper smuuuuud :D
@TheCosmonaut1
i started skydiving at 26 and basejumping at 28
@DasUberCow
jepp, det er to flights fra trollstigen der, en over veien og en over den nye utsiktsplattformen
@digitalkicks
Thanks buddy, you to :)
@mad6513
nah, closest for you guys would probably be NZ. its much of the similar terrain to norway.
@Bercseng
thanks man, i have my own interests in staying alive as well so there will be more :)
@TheB1gEd90
I did about 250 jumps in that timeframe. I have 700 skydives now, and doing about basejumps pr. year
Is it possible to land in the lake without the use of your parachute? Or is the vertical speed to big for that option?
@Mcwesty710
sweet, hope you get the changes you want :)
Amazing stuff, I'd love to try this. I have done some skydiving in the past and there isn't too much skill involved, this looks alot different though. So how much skill is involved in this and how long does it take to be able to get to a basic level ? Thanks
What can I say...... Awesome ! Is the any where in Australia to get in to this ?
Please be careful and do not die. We are you but only in our dreams.
have you ever had a close call or got injured doing this? thanx for posting up this vids by the way---
This is so awesome, how much practice does it take :P
do you listen to music while flying (through the helmet) or would that be...distracting from your focus?
Halvor, what is an 'average' proximity flying speed?/What's the highest speed you've done whilst doing proximity? It looks insanely fast in the new PF video with the Vampire mods...
Thanks again, sooooo inspiring.
