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.

Skydiving + Inflatable Boat + Wingsuit Flyby = Awesome Fun!

Andrew — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:50:29 +0000

Skydiving with an inflatable boat is a great way to put a smile on your face. And just when you thought this jump couldn’t get any funner (yes, that’s a word!), Scotty Burns flies by in his wingsuit to high-five the boat… with his face. Awesome. Thanks to The Aviator for another fun edit.

Friday Freakoout: Insane 200 MPH Plane Fly-By, Misses Within Feet

Shannon Seyb — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 12:50:42 +0000

When you’re seconds (or feet) from death, it’s said that your life flashes before your eyes. But in this case, it’s a plane flying 200 MPH directly at them. Dunno about you, but I’d say that’s way cooler!

Wingsuit, Meet Parachute — Close Call Flyby

Andrew — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:50:41 +0000

Well I suppose it’s not a “close call” if it’s planned, but it’s still a pretty close wingsuit flyby. Parachute, meet wingsuit. Wingsuit, parachute. Play nicely you two.

Insane Tracking Suit Flyby. How Close Is Too Close?

Andrew — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 11:50:00 +0000

Probably the first flyby in a tracking suit performed by an ape. In this case, said ape is Andrey Karr — one badass body pilot who can track like a mofo! How close is too close?

Friday Freakout: Close Call Wingsuit Collision

Shannon Seyb — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 11:50:35 +0000

Wingsuit fly-bys can be fun. Unintentional, unplanned fly-bys can be scary as hell. This was a close call and could’ve been avoided had he paid less attention to shooting video and more attention to his surrounding environment. Videos are cool; staying alive is even cooler. Live and learn. Keep your head on a swivel and play safe everyone. Here’s another example of shooting-video-gone-wrong.

Friday Freakout: BIG Airplane Misses Skydiver In Freefall

Shannon Seyb — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 11:55:38 +0000

I can see it now… “Mommy, mommy, a man just flew past the window.” And the response, “How many times have I told you not to lie to mommy (slap)!?” Lol. But this skydiver was almost close enough for passengers to spot from the aircraft that flew right by him. Luckily he didn’t end up like a bug on a windshield.

Wingsuit, Meet Hot Air Balloon.

Sydney Williams — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 11:50:44 +0000

No, this isn’t a Friday Freakout, but rather, some pretty sweet footage a la foot cam of a wingsuit flying by a balloon. The only thing that would’ve made this better? Footage from the balloon so we could see just how fast he whizzes past.

PD Factory Team. Aerobatic Plane. Dizzying Demo.

Melanie Curtis — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 11:50:40 +0000

You may get dizzy watching this, but it’s only because the PD Factory Team does a beautiful spiral with smoke — along with an aerobatic plane — as a demo jump for the Dubai International Parachuting Championships (DIPC). The Palm alone is incredible. Add this stuff, and it’s just stunning. And watch through to the end for the killer fly-by. Hells yeah!

One Step Beyond is another brilliant documentary from Sebastien Montaz-Rosset which takes us behind the scenes for a close up look at world-renowned snowboarder and BASE jumper, Géraldine Fasnacht. She invites us into the small community of today’s real life super heroes — wingsuit flyers.

Andrew — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 17:50:44 +0000

After lots of red tape, Luke Aikins of the Red Bull Air Force was finally able to pull off a project he’s been working on — a wingsuit fly-by over the famous Hollywood Sign landmark in Los Angeles. Well done guys! I can’t wait to see the video footage from Airborne Images. Photo by Andy Farrington.

She Can Fly: Hot Air Ballon Fly-By

Andrew — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 12:50:37 +0000

There’s nothing hotter than a hot French woman flying by a hot air balloon in a wingsuit. Except maybe wearing a wingsuit on a hot day. Following the “I Believe I Can Fly” documentary about highlining and BASE jumping, director Sebastien Montaz-Rosset just finished shooting this documentary about professional female BASE jumper Géraldine Fasnacht.

Some awesome behind-the-scenes footage of the Red Bull Air Force Training Camp, dubbed “Kirby Camp,” in Arizona this past Spring (2011). Big thanks to Mike Shore Photo for sharing this video.

Jokke Sommer’s Closest Wingsuit Fly-By Ever!

Andrew — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 12:13:41 +0000

I’m pretty sure this is Jokke’s closest wingsuit fly-by ever! It’s definitely the most intense fly-by I’ve ever seen. It’s a clip from the new Norwegian TV show about extreme sports called “Oppdrag Sognefjorden” where Jokke Sommer and Tom Erik Heimen buzz the ground from only a few feet away. In case you missed our last video from Jokke, check it out; he squeezes through a crack on the Eiger!

BASE Jumping Float at Swiss Parade

Andrew — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 13:43:55 +0000

This is too funny. Only in Switzerland would you find a BASE jumping float at a parade or carnival. The wingsuit flying ‘track’ at 0:49 is my fave part. I guess this was the next best idea to doing a real wingsuit fly-by over the crowd.

Insane Red Bull Air Force Wingsuit Fly-By

Andrew — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 12:34:46 +0000

Looks like the boys from the Red Bull Air Force had a blast at the 2011 Red Bull Aviation Training Camp, dubbed “Kirby Camp.” Andy Farrington shared some of his first-hand footage of the aerial shenanigans. Watch this clip from start to finish; you won’t want to miss Kirby buzzing under the flock of wingsuits in his Edge 540… it’s pretty intense!
