Hope this isn't a repost. A different way to feed the need for speed.

I agree! I'd leave a wet stain in the crotch of that suit if it was me flying through the air like that. Those guys can almost reach out to touch the cliff walls. And how would you like to be driving by when one of them buzzes right by your car. CRAZY!
This was posted and discussed here . If you liked that you might enjoy these glacier buzz jobs.
But bottom line, these wingsuit flyers are tame compared to the Jet Man.

jetman.... absolutely amazing. i couldn't keep a smile off my face on that one - sounds kind of cheesy, but that must be so liberating. 
this one is really cool too

Re: Jets on a wingsuit: It's a logical progression, but.......
is it progress?
God, these jet guys, like all the extreme guys.......
We don't even have to ask "if" anymore, just "when". It won't be but a couple of years and some "fool" will take off down a runway laying on a big skateboard. If he makes it, he'll be like Orville Wright, (or was it Wilber?) If he crashes, he'll be just another damn fool on Youtube. :tongue:

Jet Man is cool! Thanks for the vid. Still, something about buzzing cliffs and cars under power of gravity freaks me out.
Re: Wingsuits swooping Everest?
Well Everest is all over the Discovery Channel, so it only makes sense that there's now a skydive over Mt. Everest being planned. I wonder if they'll let wingsuits on the load.
Hell, it's probably being planned by wingsuit flyers.

Re: Who's going to be first?
Here's the first prediction of landing without a parachute.
Hmmmm, will that fool do it before some other fool lands?

Re: Jeb Corliss........still at it
Well, it's been 3 years and not so much as a hint of landing without a parachute. :redface: But he hasn't disappeared. Here's his latest

Hope he doesn't get his head taken off by a bird.
