Wing Suit

[glen66]

For those that haven't seen the wing suit for base jumping, this is pretty cool. Seems to work well and is fairly stable. Can you imagine how far you could trans if you where on O2. Easily 20-25km. Hmm, got to get me one of these. lol.
man bird thing or is that, bird man thing

I'm going skydiving next month so I'll let you know what the pros think of these things. Find a perfectly good plane and jump out, seems logical to me and besides terminal velocity is only around 240kph and I do more than that on the way to work.

Aussie it up and make your own out of a clark above ground pool and a ice-cream container helmet (with eyes drawn on it for the magpies). You'll be a famous as Steve in no time. You'd probably get your own tv show if you have the bag for it.

I did 240kph today and didn't get into 4th gear. There was a little bit of a rise and if I changed into 4th I would have literally taken off! If I knew how to add the video I would put it on the board. Footage courtesy of Brigettes bulk buy of camera mounts.
