]]> “Fuckin’ hell, that was close. Closest I’ve ever come.” Spoken like a true Aussie ninja, talkin’ all casual as his end cells nearly hit the trees. This was Chris ‘Douggs’ McDougall’s first serious off-heading opening after 15 years and over 2,600 BASE jumps. If this was any closer, it would’ve ended up as a proper Friday Freakout cliff strike, but Douggs handled it like the pro that he is. But what else would ya expect – he’s from ‘Straya!

]]> Professional winguit pilot and BASE jumper Alexander Polli flies his wingsuit through “The Batman Cave” — an incredibly narrow cave on a rugged mountainside. I’m not quite sure how he managed to fit his big balls of steel through this small hole, but Polli pulled it off. The narrow cave, no wider than Alexander is tall, is located in Roca Foradada Mountains in Montserrat, Spain — a location that has inspired this professional Italian-Norwegian athlete’s flying dream his whole life. Alexander hopes his success will inspire others not only to ‘climb over their mountains,’ but to also fly right through them!
