Insane video with the perfect sound track. I have watched this video about 15 times tonight so far. It gives me a rush every time I watch it, and I hate heights. The funny thing is that I would love to do this....mark of a great video !

Damn that dude came so close to the ground and trees!?! That takes some talent to judge that distance/height going that fast!!!

Only $1530 for a shiny new Wingsuit like that.....I love how you don't have to have any kind of training to order these things.

Can I put that on Santa's list next year ???

Imagine the first guy to try that. How many times does he pull the cord as he approaches that cut in the trees. Wow, very low to the ground.

That's so cool. I really want to try that! FYI: you should watch the 45min Fearless video on Jeb Corliss's YouTube channel, documents his crazy daredevil life a bit, as well as the horrific death of his friend Dwain Weston during a wingsuit accident that basically ripped his body into pieces.

His buddy hit a bridge when they were flying together. It was intense watching the video, luckily they don't show the actual hitting of the bridge, but you see the parachute falling below the bridge with no one guiding it.....sad. Jeb said that of the 30 or so Wingsuit divers, 6 have died over the years. Those are not very good odds, but if you are crazy enough to try this, I think your sense of fear and attempting to go as close to death as possible is ingrained in your dna.
Apparently Jeb is "going to land with a suit on and no parachute, or die trying" .... that mother-lover is so close to the edge of insanity, but just hanging onto a string to keep from falling over that chasm. When I first started watching this video I thought he had huge balls and no fear, but after watching interviews and stuff, I realized he is just about crazy hah :]

Absolutely amazing. I'm just glad I don't get as bored as they do. Though I am extremely attracted to something like that I'd never do it. How in the hell do you get to that point in your life looking for fun? Looks like the ultimate rush, well possibly.
