Cool video but several people have been doing head down wingsuit as early as the late 90s. If skydiving movies was still up, you could check out some of those early videos. HD in a wingsuit is also hard on the suits seams and people have blown their suits out doing it, it can turn into a very costly skydive when it happens.

Well he's experimenting with the wing suit to see what it is capable of.

Trying to mix up the disciplines of the sport and letting it evolve...

At least he's out there doing something trying to do things in the air that most people wouldn'tr think was posiable.

There are several recent videos of Babylon, Jeff Nebelkopf, Jarno Cordia/flylikebrick, and others doing wingsuit head down in recent times, in addition to the legacy vids that have been out there for a while.
But...
the discipline (like every discipline) is indeed evolving. Flocking has to move on to something else.
This is likely yet one more area that the discipline will grow into; aerobatics with freeflying.
Check out the worldwingsuitnews.com site to see what's new with jet engines and wingsuiting.

Beginning of what? Whats the point of doing this other than saying that you can? not trying to be a jerk but I don't get it. am I missing something?


Yes, you are missing something. It's head down in a $1200 suit as opposed to a $300 free fly suit. Don't you get how ground breaking this is? If you can't fly a wingsuit head down, you are not flying it the way the developers intended. :S

You should find something relevant in one of the following:

Too lazy to throw one at you.

Point is, what is the point of anything??

Why fall out of an aircraft at all? OR Whuffo they jump out of perfectly good airplanes?
Why hold hands?
Why spin?
Why land on the spot?
Why land quickly?
Why link up wiht others under parachute?

Why?????

Just because!!!!


That is what you are missing.

The above could be crap, thought provoking, useful, or . . But not personal. You decide.

What's the point of skydiving in any discipline? Other than to say you can, your not saving lives or changing the state of the nation.
Posts like yours are pointlessness to a tee.:S:S:S
You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)

How's yours doing?

Greetings,

Just curious. Seems like you could hit some major speed flying this way.

What kind of speeds are you hitting with a wing suit in heads down?

I hit 276 mph in my tracking suit before the pants exploded.

Ain't going to blow up my V-2.

Ciao,
Mad Max

Don't go away mad....just go away!
