stormpoint 0 #1 August 27, 2008 Hi All I'm a newbie who's done a couple of tandem skydives, and lately have become deeply interested in watching wingsuit skydiver videos and wingsuit base jumpers. I wanted to ask, realistically, when do you think tandem wingsuit skydiving will become a commercial reality? (if it all?) I would love to feel the true feeling of flight, however I do not intend on pursuing 500 skydives and becoming certified. Thanks guys Wingsuit divers - you're living the dream for sure!

And putting you in a wingsuit to give you 'the illusions of flight'. But besides a freaky carnaval ride with a lot of added dangers and complications on top of the normal tandem, there isnt much added vallue.

Though half the experience would suffice...its one of those things where you do need to invest (a lot of fun) to do something really cool..JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
