    Good grief man, some epic video there, and great editing. I've seen some of the video on HeliBASE '74 coverage, but wow, too cool.
    When 25 yrs of age I had a few extended hols in US from England, DeLand in Florida and Perris Valley California were my haunts. My career spanned up to a tiny 98 jumps total, but this was 1996, the PD Stilleto was the new (and one of the first) eliptical canopies, 95% of skydiving was still relative-work, but a new "head-down" style was emerging, mastered by the "Flyboyz" at that time. Squirrel suits were a very rare but emerging variant on the sport also.
    Basically, i'm green with envy, I used to love the exits, particularly from a Sky-Van, but helicopter exit, base jump, squirrel suit or head-down freefly, alas I did not!!
    Keep it safe and please keep sharing the video.

    Could they ever make a wing suit with enough lift for tandem. Now that would take some serious balls to ride!!

    • @StuartRothon

    Took your advise and looked up Tandem Base. Talk about taking a sport with little or no room for error and making it more intense and dangerous.
    Your videos are amazing so sad to see to video flyers die last year in one crash - very sad.
    Did not realize that Ludo was dead. Watched a bunch of the Dream Lines Videos after watching this.
    Keep up the good work.

    Another fantastic video! 2m22s secs was amazing and the docking at 12m I didn't know was possible!!!
    The final tribute was fitting but if any positive can be taken, it's that this list was much smaller than in 2013. Hats off to everyone involved in making the video.

    • @StuartRothon
      @StuartRothon  9 лет назад

      Glyn Martin Thanks very much, just a heads up the list at the end wasn't everyone who died during 2014 wingsuit BASE jumping, those 5 names were in the top 20 of this sport and true pioneers I did a tribute only to them because losing them was probably the biggest lose this sport has had ever.

    • @dangermouse9438
      @dangermouse9438 9 лет назад +1

      ***** apologies. I stand corrected. Still, these compilations are a worthy tribute to the men and women who push to the limits.
      After all, it's that trait in people that moves humanity forward. The willingness to take risks, the willingness to do what others don't.

    I'm happy to hear that there is already a League of Wingsuit! Above all that it should always be a Brotherhood of Wingsuit performers. The level (technique and art) is very high today. You should manufacture your wingsuits with a system (jet/rocket) for emergencies, when more lift is needed, and use it only when it's needed. Best wishes to you all.

    Wow! at the end of the other video it gives the impression that this is not safe enough to attempt but at least they died doing something they loved. I hope that comforts their loved ones.

      +Emi Last The risk is massive and not to be under estimated, However these guys have experiences that very few people have.

    A practical question: If their arms are in the wing-suit, supporting the 'wings', how do they pull the 'rip cord'? Just like in a parachute jump, or another manner?

      yes, if survive enough jumpers to reach the Olympics... 25 - 30 deaths per year... Last crashed Jhonathan Florez a week ago...

    maybe i don't follow the sport closely enough any more, but i don't know how in the hell i'm only NOW, through this video, finding out about the deaths of ludo and jeff. i wish i had friends who understand how devastating this is to me and how shitty i feel about not finding out about it until almost a year later. holy shit, the two best flying videographers are dead.

      The lose of Ludo was a devastating one, sorry you had to find out this way. BSBD

      +Element of Kindness - It's all in the angles. Notice the paraglider's parachute is angled forward, which pushes the air caught by the chute to the back and gives the glider forward momentum. The wingsuit flyers, however, are angled back, which catches more wind in their flaps and provides more resistance. Therefore, even though one might think that the wingsuit flyers would be going much faster than the paraglider, the differing amounts of resistance proportional to their weight allow them to control their speed and downward angle so that they can match with one another.
      It's a heck of an impressive display of aerodynamic knowledge, coordination, and dexterity, though!

      +Tim Ibershoff Not a bad explanation, except that it isn't a paraglider, its a high performance parachute. But basically the high performance parachute is going as fast as it can go and the wingsuiters are going as slow as they can go.

    Bloody amazing!! I get goose bumps just watching these guys. However the idea of flying so close to the earth only increases the risk of disaster. I salute their courage but I only hope they know when to call it quits. They must get a hell of a rush, but can they ever stop?

    Amazing footage and editing! I am old, and I almost blew a gasket just watching the close flybys. Who composed the opening musical piece? That was an excellent intro.

    WOW! This totally blew away the 2013 BOWF. At 2:23 looks like wingsuiter's foot touched the ground. And at 3:30 to 4 min+ is Supurb synchronized acrobatics! Do you suppose that some day they will allow wingsuiting as a choice of death for those sentenced to die? If by some chance they survive, they could possibly be allowed to walk free.
