Fusion of Gymnastics & Base Jumping

Where do you go when gymnastics is no longer enough of an adrenaline rush? My friend Rick McCharles over at gymnasticscoaching.com discovered these gems:

Bob Burnquist did one of my favorite base jump stunts -

Don't exists money or something in this world that make me do those things...

Bahahahahahaaha :twisted:

Freakin awesome

As a skydiver with an interest in possibly one day base jumping, I find this pretty awesome. Insane, but awesome. Maybe one day I will do something that stupid, lol.

Until then, here is one of my favorite base jumping vids (although I realize not all of of these are BASE jumps, they are are all far more insane)

This guy makes most base jumpers cringe and gives a giant middle finger to gravity

Awesome, spectacular and insane! That sent a shiver down my spine Nick.

On a technical note, i wonder how much strength and endurance it muss take to hold shape in the wingsuit for so long. I find the fine control to navigate that canyon beyond belief.

Nick that was a cool video. I'm guessing you must've seen this one too..pretty insane guys

No idea what Slizz is talking about, but that just looks fantastic!

I perfectly know what Slizz is talking about, the video i posted the dude fly and not only glide as the others videos where the guy use the wingsuit, this dude can up and down as he wants, he just fly !

So as goku in DBZ ^^

@ Slizz : too bad there is no exercices to do to learn to fly as there is for planche or something else

:shock: :shock: :twisted:

I know, I know! We need to do something about that, Ashita!

Is that an asian rock group?

I don´t think that what that guy is doing is that difficult, the difficulty is in designing the wings and knowing how to control them the first times, as it may be very easy to lose control and spin to the ground if the design is wrong! so the first times the guy got balls to try, but once there is a flying technique and the design is perfected, it will be cheaper than buying your own light plane (or around that price as small turbines are not cheap). BTW the noise must be amazing!. The only problem is that you can´t take off from the ground, he must be flying something like 186mph(300 km/h)!
