Wingsuit basejumping: The biggest adrenaline rush known to man?

[WNxScythe]

Watch:



It gets better too so don't stop. 3:10-3:45 (or -3:45>-3:10) is especially amazing.

I swear I WILL be doing this within 5 years. Looks like you have to have a few hundred normal skydiving jumps under your belt first though.

Big wave surfing. So much fun, but also very painful. the biggest i have gotten was 6m high, and i was shitting myself and i ended up snaping my board in 2. lol

That's so freakin' awesome. I've always wanted to try basejumping but off of a tall building instead of a cliff face.

That truely must be one of the most incredible feelings skimming so close to the mountains like that. You should watch the video where the guy jumps off the hot air balloon in a batsuit (wingsuit) with small turbojet engines attached to his boots. Here's a couple more.

The bottom one is the guy with the jetboots.

I dunno man, there's something awesome about jumping off of huge mountains. It's beautiful for one thing. I've done some research and it sounds like after the first 7 jumps or so (when you get your license) you can jump for ONLY $20. Once you reach the 300 mark or so they let you go basejumping. 500 and you can go wingsuit. Easily achievable once you're only dishing out $20 a pop (for the ultimate thrill).

Failing, those vids are awesome thanks.

Here's something else I dug up, the plane's going so fast when the guy jumps out (with a wingsuit) that it actually LAUNCHES him up several hundred feet in a split second. Crazy:
