Wingsuit Base Jumping

Watch that.

Now that looks like serious good fun, I really want to do that. Does anyone do parachuting, paragliding? Anyone know anything else about base jumping?

That looks FUCKING awesome.

Although....can you imagine the fear/excitement generated by your first jump? Especially if its the first time youve done anything like that?

Yeah, it would be absolutly unreal, I really want to learn to do it. I guess I better learn how to paraglide/parachute first, or landing looks like it could be painful.

After watching Iron Man I felt like I wanted to learn to fly (but that isn't possible) but this makes it look possible.

But yeah that first jump would be mad, you literal have to have full trust in your suit and gear.

I'd jump out of a plane with a wingsuit given half a chance, but jumping off a cliff and skimming along that close to the cliff face and road would just be absolutely mental. I'd still probably go for it but it'd take me a couple of jumps to try and get as close as they do.

Adrenaline is a wonderful thing.

I like to think that when my adrenal glands ever pump out the most amount of adrenaline they can possibly give, I'll somehow gain superpowers



Makes me want to test my limits even more.



Imagine that.



"Oh my dear sweet god, I have never felt as much as a rush in my life!"

*look down at hands, which happen to be glowing with blue fire and making a 'humming' noise, then realise you're floating above the ground*
