glad you like it! to get started you need 2-3 years of skydiving till you got a reasonable number of skydives (personally i recommend no less than 500). check out a local skydive school! google for skydive and your country! during this time you can already enjoy wingsuit flying. then maybe 2-3 years of basejumping and voilà, there you are for this kind of flying! seems a long way, but believe me, it's a good and fun one! enjoy and stay safe :-)
I couldn't remember Ronald Jenkees' name so I typed "keyboard" into the RUclips search field and this appeared as one of the first results. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Nice.
i favorited this so the world can start recognizing ronald in ways like this ,people should start using his stuff more and more ,he deserves attention from the world by acknowledging his musical talent,I LOVE RONALD JENKEES !!!!!!! :):)
please make more music... you are awesome. i like to listen to your music because it goes direct in your heart its not complicated and just makes me happy. Please don't stop. Greetings from germany
I've always wanted to do hang gliding because it seems like the closest thing to flying we have, but this looks pretty awesome too. Getting that close to the trees and ground must be a great adrenaline rush too.
I wish I had friends & contacts around the world so when I go to countries like that we could jump together. All of my friends around here wont get into the sport like I have. Hell they wont even skydive let alone proximity. Loved this video, beautiful sites & u looked in complete control just enjoying your ride. Hope u have many more : )
I have always wanted to be able to fly. I often have dreams about it. This and skydiving are probably the closest you will ever get so i have to do one of those before I die.
haha, i understand! wait for the next team need4speed movie! we had a great year and got to film some amazing stuff. there's gonna be a lot of nice, long flights for you!
thanks:-) well, me personally, i would recommend about 100 wingsuit skydive jumps before taking the wingsuit to BASE. then maybe another 150 wingsuit BASE jumps before flying close and aggressive lines.
@zynthesis for this kind of jumping with a wingsuit you need a vertical cliff of 150-200m and then maybe another 50-100m of steep terrain. after that you are in full glide. these numbers also depend heavily on what kind of wingsuit you are using, your skills, etc. "calculations" are done by many experienced jumpers by looking at maps, google earth, going to the actual site, throwing rocks to measure the height, etc. it's not rocket science, however, requires solid preparation :-)
@ddanci1973 thanks :-) on a sustained flight you get somewhere between 2.5:1 and 3:1. temporarily, when diving and then flaring it out you can go much flatter or even horizontal for a couple of seconds! we're nowhere near paraglider glide ratios yet, however, for being your own wing i think it's already quite nice ... and big fun :-)
@Heoyiee i think in most countries you can start skydiving at 16. the "costume" is about 1500$, however, you also need a parachute and other stuff to get you started, especially for skydiving first. i'm not a professional, i have about 1000 skydive jumps and 300 basejumps, so it's basically just training, training, training. i'm not scared, otherwise i wouldn't do it - i keep a healthy respect for it though. that's also why i have never crashed anything and i'm not planning to :-)
@xcmedinA thanks:-) to get started you need 2-3 years of skydiving till you got a reasonable number of skydives (personally i recommend no less than 500). check out a local skydive school! during this time you can already enjoy wingsuit flying. then maybe 2-3 years of basejumping and voilà, there you are for this kind of flying! seems a long way, but believe me, it's a good and fun one! skydiving does cost a little but not a fortune, basejumping itself is cheap, cliffs are free :-)
@motorcyclevlogger thanks for the compliment! i think i'm a small fish though, but that's fine with me ... i can do it for fun and don't have to make a living out of it! blue skies
@ma2white I'm not a 100% sure about this, but I read that "runner's high" and other things that is popularly associated with an 'endorphin rush' is not really about the release of endorphine, but possibly anandamide which is suggested to be the cause of the feeling of happiness. Anandamide is similar to one of the chemicals in marijuana. Just a little technical knowledge in case you were interested ;)
@trenton1980 horizontal speeds are 150-210kmh, vertical 20-80kmh. most jumps are 1300-1700m of altitude from exit to landing, giving about 60-90s of freefall time depending on flight style :-) highest exit was from 3700m above sea level, giving 2700m of altitude to landing, 2min15s of freefall. if you want gps data, or more specific info just drop me a PM :-)
@MrCozmo4567 hey cosmo! thanks for your comment. i think the guy you are looking for is ronald jenkees, and not me! i'm just using his music as soundtrack, i'm not the artist. so if i got you right, i think you should get in touch with him (see description). cheers
@MrCozmo4567 hey cosmo! thanks for your message, however, you're looking for ronald jenkees and not me (see description, and my other reply to your post). cheers
@bamboozel1234 it's very fast, so it looks close .. however, you're right, at some point it's not reasonable any more to keep pushing it further and further :-)
@zndxxx :-D i have not forgotten you guys and referring to some of you as "fans" honors me ;-) however, since i have a normal job, new footage doesn't just grow overnight. actually, i had a really nice, special flight just recently that i intended to post. murphy got his full share of the day though, and all my cameras failed :-/ anyway, stay tuned, cu
hi! getting the necessary skydive experience (400-500 jumps) will be the most costly part! check with a local skydive school / dropzone. but hey, this part is already a lot of fun, so don't look at it as "costs". basejumping itself, apart from the traveling depending on where you live, is not really expensive! all in all you definitely don't need to be a banker ;-)
@ma2white i see. PS- love the jenkees. as i am a student of aviation myself, i have to wonder about things such as bank, pitch, yaw. does training for this sport include training in aerodynamics, such as lift, drag, induced drag, parasitic drag, glide ratios, etc? don't mean to ask you a million questions, but honestly, how often do you get to talk to a wing suit pilot?
@Mangosuxcok 2-3 years of skydiving till you got a reasonable number of skydives (personally i recommend no less than 500). during this time you can already enjoy wingsuit flying. then maybe 2-3 years of basejumping and voilà, there you are! seems a long way, but believe me, it's a good and fun one all along from the beginning! no need to rush! basejumping itself is cheap, cliffs are free :-) and legs are the usual means of transport! a valid skydive license is required! enjoy
@soulure you need 2-3 years of skydiving till you got a reasonable number of skydives (personally i recommend no less than 500). check out a local skydive school! during this time you can already enjoy wingsuit flying. then maybe 2-3 years of basejumping and voilà, there you are for this kind of flying! seems a long way, but believe me, it's a good and fun one all along from the beginning! no need to rush! basejumping itself is cheap, cliffs are free :-)
Hey Ma2white, I live in the US and it is truly my dream to experience this someday. How do I get started in doing this kind of basejumping? Do I have to be very wealthy as well? Would love some insight. Btw this is my favorite wingsuit video of all time, you go soooo close to the side of the mountain and have some beautiful shots. Hope you read and reply to this, in any case, kudos my friend!
@speckman23 hang gliding is different, however, not any less beautiful :-) in my case, it's not adrenaline when flying close terrain ... if it was, i think i would have to be worried because i'd be pushing it too much. endorphins, however, are discharged in masses when i fly wingsuit in the mountains :-D
@uesrname187 of course humidity and density altitude play a role too as they alter your polar curve, however, i have never made any calculations :-) still you will notice when you jump from 3500MASL compared to 1000MASL that it takes longer to start flying. valley winds and such have to be taken into account probably mostly for landing the parachute: while a headwind of 30knots will not bother me too much while wingsuit flying it will sure make my landing a bit more interesting :-)
I wait until the afterlife before trying this one, otherwise I may end up there sooner than expected, doh!! It looks like an indescribable thrill though ^.^
look out for the yearly video of team need4speed of which i was a part this year - to be released very soon. i might make a video on my own after that if i have the time :-)
@DARKSKY420 when you pass opposite traffic with a combined speed of 200kmh as well, i think they are pretty solid too :-) and earth doesn't sway because of drunkeness ;-) think about that :-)
@Flexible7 Learn to skydive, then learn to skydive in a wingsuit, then learn to BASE jump, then learn to base jump in a wingsuit and there you go, wingsuit proximity flying.
Nothing too exotic:-) to get started you need 2-3 years of skydiving till you got a reasonable number of skydives (personally i recommend no less than 500). check out a local skydive school! during this time you can already enjoy wingsuit flying. then maybe 2-3 years of basejumping and voilà, there you are for this kind of flying! seems a long way, but believe me, it's a good and fun one! enjoy and stay safe
@uesrname187 wake turbulences behind a wingsuit can actually be quite strong, depending on flight style and AoA. i think they could definitely ruin your day when doing proximity flying such as this. wind is a factor to consider as well, e.g. i would never approach the lee side of an object without enough margin to pass a rotor safely when there are heavy winds. also it is not very reasonable to proximity fly the south face of a mountain on a thermally very active day ...
@ma2white and what about wake turbulence, as far as flying along side someone else? do you factor winds into your jumps? does humidity play a role? density altitude? i find it hard to imagine you dont take mountain or valley winds into account. but honestly what do i know about the sport. damn near nothing. again, im sorry for having a million questions, but this is something i cant help but be very curious about.
@zynthesis :-D hiking in the alps is half the fun already, believe me :-) but you're right, sometimes when i get up at 5am i think i must be stupid :-)
@fullyboss cheers dude! however, i think i have pretty normal, reasonably soft balls ;-) i feel at home in the air and train a lot, that's about it :-)
Nine years ago and still awesome! 😃
Amazing. This is one of the best videos on RUclips..
An Amazing video with the perfect Jenkees song ! I love it :-)
This looks like so much fun! I must agree that it was genius getting Ronald Jenkees for the music. Fantastic visual for his music.
You Sir, are the BAMF of the day. An extra thumbs up for the Ronald Jenkees soundtrack!
great movie and great music it is truly amazing

Best use of a Ronald Jenkees track ever. :D
This video holds a special place in my dreams...
music is awesome and landscape is really amazing! Greetings from Poland
please make more music... you are awesome. i like to listen to your music because it goes direct in your heart its not complicated and just makes me happy. Please don't stop.
Greetings from germany
wow just wow
This vid is one of the best i have seen of wing suit flying! + Ronald= MIND BLOWN
great video and great music !! :)
Kind regards!
The music and video together is just pure art the man is a genius awsome
Pretty close trees at 3:13! Good choice of music! I run to Ronalds tunes and always imagined they would be good in a vid like this.
I've always wanted to do hang gliding because it seems like the closest thing to flying we have, but this looks pretty awesome too. Getting that close to the trees and ground must be a great adrenaline rush too.
OBTW the flying in this vid is great also. The indoor skydiving tunnel in Orlando is my guilty passion which I am "happily hooked on".
You are living my dream. Thanks for posting!
Love the 2nd Crack at Fisistock. Awesome Line Brother... Sweeeeeeeet
this was sick bro. right on rocking the Ronald jenkees tune as well. much love
I wish I had friends & contacts around the world so when I go to countries like that we could jump together. All of my friends around here wont get into the sport like I have. Hell they wont even skydive let alone proximity. Loved this video, beautiful sites & u looked in complete control just enjoying your ride. Hope u have many more : )
Ronald Jenkees + Proximity Flying = sensory overload!
thanks for the all the nice feedback :-) glad you like it, i didn't expect such an echo!
Stunning. Ronald Jenkees brought me here, by the way.
Fantastic ! Those steep ravine Flights....sick. I only wonder when we see the first Looping and skate landing HaHaHa !
nice mix of great vids with good music
Great lines man, awesome video!
Blue skies!
can't get any better than this guys nice vid!
I have always wanted to be able to fly. I often have dreams about it. This and skydiving are probably the closest you will ever get so i have to do one of those before I die.
100 views from me alone, love this video.
Check out the deer track in the snow in lower right at 1:25 for a split second. Only visible when youtube tool bar is not in view.
mate your 100 times better that jeb and jokke, this video is somthing to be proud of
that part where he flies between the paragliders is just... next level
you, sir, are a free bird. Stay safe and keep on exploring new horizons. .
haha, i understand! wait for the next team need4speed movie! we had a great year and got to film some amazing stuff. there's gonna be a lot of nice, long flights for you!

Flying to some Ronald Jenkees was pretty sick!
God... that's such a beautiful place.
i saw the comment "RONALD JENKEES" and hit like cuz that dude is AWESOME
получилось ОТЛИЧНОЕ видео!!
лучший клип для этой композиции!!
i love that song! amazing video !

Cool realy nice music perfect ,snd flight very good excelent thx for sharing
Bird of the skies, please inform me as soon that movie is out !!!
Great video!!! Good luck!!!!

It's settled. I will go wingsuit base jumping some time in my life in the future.
Dude it's like your a frikin fighter jet. So awesome.
It is a sport! I will practice to fly like that!!!
Sweet lines and nice edit! I've added this video to the queue and will post it on our site soon... iLoveSkydiving-DOT-org. Blues skies!
amazing... great choice of song... hard to put music to the brass balls of the fliers but Jenkees was a good selection haha
man you are amazing proximity flyer
mr ronal jenkees, you sir, are a badass

OMG great music and Amazing video

Interested, at this present time, I'm totally immersed in first time advanced online wingsuit training course.
He is partyin with death, he is sooo close to those very solid objects.
Amazing video! Love it!
look out for the yearly video of team need4speed of which i was a part this year - to be released very soon. i might make a video on my own after that if i have the time :-)
It is so beautiful that I cried, my life would be so boring?
Can't wait to see....
RONALD. JENKEES!!!!!!!!

Wow, this must be such a rush... And the music is nice as well.
What's the glide ratio of these suits?

ronaldjenkees favorited this video!!! :D
