Beer 0 #4 September 3, 2007 There are lots of wingsuit base jump videos out there like that. But, ahhh.... what do you think his forward speed is? Learn to be happy. You can't be there for anybody else in life if you can't learn to be there for yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest #10 September 4, 2007 Quote wingsuit landing will be the popular trend before miCHEL fOURNIER JUMPS FROM 40'000M On the contrary. Michel will succeed, it's just that what he is trying to do is extremely difficult (to say nothing of expensive). The only reason he hasn't done it yet it because of technical snafus, not a lack of initiative. mh ."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

The111 1 #12 September 4, 2007 You don't need a wingsuit to walk away from freefall... just go into a boxman and fall next to a tall building. If you get your feet close enough to the vertical wall, you can just walk down it.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No but i do see professional superbike riders come off at high speeds and survive, often.1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.
