just watched it and man intense isnt the word to describe this. As close as you guys are flying to the clifss is unreal. Before my accident in 2005 i had numerous wing suit jumps and 7 base jumps and we were planing on going there to wing suit but the accident took that away. All I can say is be careful and boy what a rush you gave me watchin you thanks for sharing the exp with the world

I thought it was one of the best segments on the subject I have ever seen. Instead of showing you as crazy lunatics with a death wish, they showed you as normal individuals with a very interesting (and somewhat dangerous) hobby.

Good job. Awesome video too.

I am curious what they will show tomorrow night, for sure they have A plus images.

Julian shot air to air, espen came around, and of course you saw tom erik and me...

I will be interested to hear what everyone here thinks


I thought it was briliant
Life is a series of wonderful opportunities,
brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.

Well.....

My phone rang off the hook for several hours. Calls from friends and people I have not heard from in a very long time.

Words to the effect of " OMG....we knew you did this; but we never really knew what you did or what was involved" Finally....appreciation and understanding from the "wuffos"; important in my life.

My mom called; said...."Now....I understand".

Fighter Pilot Big Brother called....said; "I'm proud of you....we never really knew, didn't understand.....now we do"

Somebody please hand me another Kleenex.....

Just not into "this scene" like I used to be, many reasons why. Started to explain but decided not to.

I just monitor what is going on, exercise a lot restraint, and only let something "peep out" when I feel absolutely compelled and it would clearly help.

Otherwise I have basically "checked out"

Can't delete the DZ.com profile....otherwise I would.

Stay Safe.....and ENJOY!

I submit that there is no better example of irony than using an internet forum to complain about how you don't want a profile on an internet forum. If you don't want to use it, walk away from the keyboard and don't come back... otherwise you have zero credibility. :P

When I watched it, I thought, my parachute did not open and I am in never land with this cool TV where they don't show programs about f10cking, mattress operators, feet-touching-butt bags filled with f10cking meat wobbling in air, we-can-fit-any-shit-in-our-superstretchy-grid "records", claims of "routine 3:1 glide ratios and 250mph forward speed", f**cking University, look-we-fall-like-bags-of-shit-on-Shuttle-launch, skydivers "generously" padding their video with amazing BASE flights they never made to show off how cool they are, and so on...

I guess TV people finally listened to Father Yuri. :)

Thank you for all the pictures over the years.

Thank you for all the videos of the years that inspired me to put a wingsuit on to begin with.

Thank you for the "calibration" with your insight and opening my eyes.

Thank you for my world wide web public bitch slap; it was well deserved. :$

I earned it....and deserved it. [:/]

I doubt our paths will cross again so I wish you well and all the best Matt.
