Swooping Like A Boss… Through Trees to Gate to Blindman

Sydney Williams — Tue, 07 May 2013 11:50:43 +0000

Remember the dude who swooped his reserve like a boss? Well Derek Dutton is at it again. Same gorgeous scenery, only this time it’s a sweeeeet swoop flying by a tree, through an open gate, and then a little blindman to top it all off. Well done, indeed. Fly sexy out there!

Friday Freakout: Epic Tree Crash-Landing. Fail!

This just might be the dumbest thing Solomon Ould has ever done. He wanted to ground launch off the other side of the mountain and land on the beach. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but without much wind and no (good) landing area in sight, his unplanned journey leads to an epic crash-landing in a forest of tall trees — almost getting impaled by a broken tree stump in the process.

What Gates? Swoop Through The Trees!

Who needs swoop gates when you have trees. For those of you who are curious, this was a JVX79 with a 2.3 wingload. Not too shabby.

Close Cliffs. Tall Trees. Long Lines.

Wingsuit proximity flying at it’s best. Some women never wear the same outfit twice. Matt Gerdes — author of The Great Book of BASE — never jumps the same cliff twice (so far this season). Matt and his friends hike in the mountains, toss rocks, and fly long lines around cliffs and through tall trees. Check out 40 seconds of tickle — more proxy flying goodness from Matt.

What do you do when you’re bored with wingsuit proximity flying? Call it “slopeflying” and keep pushing the limits. This is incredible footage of Jokke Sommer slopeflying in Stryn, Norway. The trees better move out of his way soon; he gets closer on every new line he finds. Want more? Check out a few more badass proxy flying videos by Jokke Sommer.

Proximity Flying: 40 Seconds of Tickle

Andrew — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 12:24:33 +0000

Badass wingsuit proximity flying by Matt Gerdes — author of The Great Book of BASE. This is a crazy line, and may be one of the longest “no pull zones” in BASE jumping I’ve seen yet. Here’s Matt’s BASE jumping version of “Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Too!”:

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Trees,
Over the sun and beyond the breeze.
‘Have fun!’
‘Fly far!’
‘Concentrate, don’t sneeze!’
Cried Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Trees.

BASE Jump + Low Opening = Tree Swing

Andrew — Mon, 23 May 2011 12:31:29 +0000

Have you ever wanted your very own tree swing? Just go BASE jumping with a wingsuit and pull low like this crazy Russian. So I got the “no good, no good” part, but can anyone translate what he says?
