Awesome footage [thumbsup]
The thing you miss from that type of footage is the speed. Jeb grinding the Crack. [evil]

That's incredible
Yup. I remember one where he "rubbed" his belly on one of the hill tops he was skimming.

Awesome. Simply awesome.
And kudos to the guy that had the gonads to first tried that!

Love the suit. Never figured out though, can they make themselves glide at a straighter angle?

Does a wingsuit fly or does it is just create aerodynamic drag that lowers it’s vertical speed?
Well, a wingsuit really flies, although the available area is not enough to produce such a low vertical
speeds and flat flight path. The only force available to propel the wingsuit through the air is gravity.
What a wingsuit tries to do is to use the gravity induced vertical free fall and turn it into as much
horizontal flight as possible. The same principle applies as for gliders, hang gliders and even the
square parachutes that everybody is familiar with. A wingsuit flies because it IS an AIRFOIL, just
like an aircraft wing, square canopy or Space Shuttle (actually, by its basic flying form and flying
characteristics a wingsuit is more comparable to the space shuttle than to any other flying object).
I believe for every 3ft of forward movement they drop 1ft.
Most incredible wingsuit BASE jump video ever made (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6e8aDUNow4&feature=youtube_gdata_player#)
I've been skydiving, but this looks like so much more fun. :) Great videos guys!
