very trippy, thanks.

holy shit. These guys sure have balls.

Wow. That was awesome.

Man I really want to try that. Do these guys ever fuck up and kill themselves? Seems like it could be easy to misjudge a flyby once in a while.

Unfortunately, it happens all the time:

damn there were several in 2010 alone : \

earn money, take vacation, fly. then find a way to extend this.

This was a spiritual experience. Thank you for the link.

This is the way to live... Or die...

having skydived for the first time just a few weeks ago i have to say HOLY SHIT WTF!! amazing!

needs more anti-gravity

its more like art of falling then flying

"It's not flying. It's falling with style." - Dahang

when watching the video I always asked myself how they do land on the ground because it is probably impossible to slow down the speed, but at the end you see they use parachutes :-).
All in all I think this is sport is only worth to be considered if you have no goals in life, because you really need to be lucky to survive that, guess the killrate is 1:20.

It should be possible to have the speed to go upwards a bit at the end and then land on top of something - just need madskillz :D

lol, I think the suits don't carry you enough for that :D

LIES! I WILL DO IT WRARRRGGG!! :D

JUST NEED TO DO IT RIGHT AWWRRRHG

wait a minute..

landing in a slope! what a pussy-idea :D

Well other than
a) slope
b) water
c) some kind of net
d) a combination of the above
I have no clue how else this can be achieved :D

I'm still wondering whether my idea is possible in principle. on the one hand it seems physically possible, on the other i have never seen a (live) sailplane or a bird do anything remotely like it, so maybe there are some solid reasons why, freefall being too slow or smt x)

but surely i can make a paper plane, throw it against the ground and it can naturally incline upwards in a curve until it settles perfectly on top of the shelf exactly when it has lost all of its speed ^.^

so this is cpm irl?

awesome

:)

w00t. :D

this just blew my mind.

That would be too fun. Sign me up.

this happens to me everytime i dream of skiing. at some point i hit a jump and end up flying along the rest of the slope :D

this reminds me of a certain Olympic event ;)

olympic dream-jump competition; where you learn to lucid dream, and then... fuck. that's quite the unimaginable hypothetical.

Well if I had to die, fuck, I would not mind experiencing that thrill first!

Wow! If you get a kick out of risk taking; this must be up there at the top.' '


Does anyone know the purpose of the (what I presume) pressurised colour emitting gas canisters are for?

Is it to create a "safe" path for others to follow or does it create a small (yet noticeable) amount of thrust for a longer flytime; I presume the former?

Gotta say that looks super cool :)

Would the next stage be something like Felix Baumgartner's wings with propulsion (one of those new micro jet engines?)

I believe the colored smoke is just for show.

or so that the guy with the camera doesn't lose sight of the other one
