Great Clip!!!
This is one of my favorites from a guy I used to jump with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVAxJ0pGTT0
He comes so low over that observation point I cringe everytime. The barrel roll he does that close to the ground is insane.
I have done around 80 wingsuit jumps and it is intense!!!!
But I open my parachute at 3,000 feet. I have no desire to be doing that stuff that close to the ground.

Geez Sky, most sports only require ONE ball! You need big kahunas for this, and I'm not ashamed to admit that mine just shrunk a bit :eek Still, I'd like to try it one day:banana

Thanks Pro, but those guys flying map of the earth are just too crazy. I am just borderline nuts. :wink What some people don't think about is how much skill the guy shooting the video has to have for those air to air shots. He is also flying a suit and keeping the video in frame.
True story, after 2,800 jumps I decide to get a wingsuit. Never had to use my reserve parachute ever......until my first wingsuit jump. Had a spinning malfunction when my main opened and I couldn't get my hands free of the suit so I had to chop the main and use my reserve. I got a double jolt of adrenaline on that one, first flying the suit and then cutting away for the first time. Very memorable day. :lol
Look forward to seeing you in the sky! :thumbsup :banana

I have a friend who jumped El Capitain in Yosemite, but he only used a regular parachute. These wing suits make that look boring.

From the impression I get of your personality from your posts I would not plan on getting away with one skydive. :thumbsup Make sure you post a link to your video when you do it. :biggrin
If you like speed, freefall is the ultimate addiction. I am still waiting to get over it.
Any base jump is impressive. I would consider doing El Cap. It is high enough that you don't need a special rig. But if you get caught the rangers will confiscate your gear and give you a gray bar timeout. :frown
