For the past year, a few Australian wingsuiters have been trying to fly like they had small canopies open. Meanwhile, canopy pilot Griggsy had been trying to fly his small speed machine from Icarus Canopies (by NZ Aerosports) like it was a wingsuit. Good times were inevitable and this is the end result.

Drink & Dash: BASE Jumpers Ditch Bar Tab From 55th...
Well, here’s one way to avoid paying for drinks. This takes “drink and dash” to new heights… from the 55th floor of the Rialto Towers, to be precise. Presumably after watching a James Bond flick, four BASE jumpers wearing business suits pounded back a few pricey cocktails at the swanky Vue de Monde restaurant in... Watch Video »
