The Moab Monkeys deliver some BASE goodness and slacklining between cliffs in Brazil, and Andy Lewis walks the slackline without a harness and leash (hey, they don’t call him Sketchy Andy for nothing). Holy crap! Big balls right here, peeps. Aggressive living of life. Get a little boost in your day by checking out this video. Booyah.

Brazilian BASE + Beach Landings

Melanie Curtis — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 11:50:33 +0000

If you get a kick out of watching wingsuit BASE, this one’s for you. Really close shadows on the wall that’s shockingly close to the person casting the shadow. Group flocks along the wall. Add in big smiles and beach landings in Brazil, and you’ve got yourself a show.

Insane City Stunt: Wingsuit Squeezes Between Office Buildings

Andrew — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 11:50:29 +0000

This might be the sickest thing you’ve seen all day! Getting permits and permission to do urban stunts — like flying your wingsuit between two office buildings in Rio de Janeiro — is for chumps. Just hire an air trike to take you up to altitude at 5 A.M. and get it done. Jokke Sommer is the f**kin’ MAN! He’s taking “the dream” to the next level, and let’s not forget his partner in crime, Ludovic Woerth. At first, I was like… “wait, they’re not going to…. seriously… WTF… amazing!” Remember, Jokke is the man behind Dream Lines IV.

ILS Presents: Fly Factory – Distortion Of Time

Andrew — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 12:50:29 +0000

As skydivers, our perception of time doesn’t always adhere to “real time.” Sometimes it feels like we’re floating instead of falling, and a mere 60 seconds can feel like a lifetime. So we decided to slow things down a little. With the help of Fabio at Ragna Films and Fly Factory in Boituva, Brazil, here’s our take on time distortion.

Jetman Over Rio: Making History, Again

Andrew — Tue, 08 May 2012 11:50:19 +0000

Yves “Jetman” Rossy once again pushed the boundaries of human flight to make history by completing an 11 minute flight with his jet-powered carbon wing over Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, including his first-ever flight past the “Christ the Redeemer” statue. Since flying across the Grand Canyon and alongside two fighter jets, and now this, what’s next for Jetman?

What Would Wingsuiting Jesus Do?

Andrew — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 17:50:08 +0000

More importantly, what WOULDN’T wingsuiting Jesus do?? Obviously wingsuit proximity flying and a wingsuit rodeo are on His bucket list. But what else do you think wingsuiting Jesus would do?

Amazing LALO: Low Altitude, Low Opening

Andrew — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 12:16:43 +0000

We’ve had this debate before… a jump made with a BASE rig and a low opening, but technically not a BASE jump by definition. So let’s just call this LALO: Low Altitude, Low Opening. Rodrigo “Cricket” Almeida jumps from 3,500 to 400 feet in his Vampire 3 wingsuit and landing on the beach at an event in Brazil. Now check out some HALO jumps and let me know which you prefer: HALO or LALO?

A short clip of a skydiver doing a backlip off the plane’s tail at Brasil Skydive in Brazil. Not the best edit though; it would’ve been nice to see the rest of the jump.
