So -there You go- if you're bored& looking for the real thrill - go for this:

Cliff-jumping off a mountain top in a "wings-suit" - just how crazy is that !?!That's really ourageous! ... these guys are either lunatic or Supermen - and don't judge your profile wrong - that would hurt badly :eek:

No way, i'd try this - i'd rather do a lengthy 16hrs DXB-LAX trip with coffee served from the back and some snooze in the bunk ...

and - beside the point - it might get a bit expensive, if You're always losing a pair of skis on each jump :}

Hi there!!!

REALLY WILD stuff!!!:eek:

Great flight control you can get out of those suits. :cool:
(just wandering if they have any sort of ASI to advise of an impending
stall should they which to try slow flight :uhoh: .......... maybe not needed
by the looks of it)

Fantastic stuff, I wonder what the glide ratio of this wing suit is?
