Video: Experience Freedom (In A Wingsuit!)

It has been awhile since we've seen a really nice BASE jumping/wingsuit video, but this one is a perfect way to start the day. The music and scenery is simply beautiful and the shots of people floating through they air have a unique tranquility about them. We all know they're falling at a frightening pace, but it almost seems like they're suspended in air.

I still don't think I'm ready to attempt any of these stunts, but I sure enjoy watching others do it.

Video: A Fleet of Wingsuits

Ever wonder what would happen if you got a large group of experienced wingsuiters together and filmed it? That's what you'll find in the video below, which shows a fleet of them flying in formation. I'm told there were 36 people in total, plus two cameramen, and when they were stacked on top of one another, even in a tight formation, the group was still more than six stories in height. Watch these pilots soar through the air with the greatest of ease and look absolutely tranquil doing it.

Video: Jeb Corliss Flies Wingsuit Through A Cave

This past weekend, BASE jumper Jeb Corliss was in China where he leapt from a hovering helicopter then used his wingsuit to successfully navigate his way through a large cave, and then eventually land safely on the other side. When I first heard about this last week, I wondered about the logistics of the flight, which you can examine for yourself in the video below. The cave was bigger than I expected, but this was still a pretty crazy stunt.

My guess is now we'll see people in wingsuits trying to thread the needle through increasingly smaller caves, as they attempt to one up each other. Crazy stuff.
