Saw this video this morning and it reminded me of flying through the woods on my Penton...this video shows them getting a lot more "air" and depth perception needs to be right on.  

Karen and I wish all of you a Happy New Year.  Be sure to turn up your speakers when watching this video!

Yeah those squirrel suit guys are insane!!  In one of those videos they give a little interview and say something like:  "You know, one of the hardest things about the wingsuit is that you don't get a lot of opportunity for practice before you have to do it."

ok this is not the best rollersuit video but it is not a bad one --

There is one where a guy is going down an Alpine pass and of course he is so low that none of the cars see him before he zips by!!!  You see oncoming cars, etc that also have no idea what is going on when the rollersuit flashes past.[:0][:0][:0][:0][:0]

EVERYONE, you must watch this video clip.  It has to be the most amazing adrenaline rush possible.  I can't imagine anything coming even close to it.  Joe

Wow that is impressive and looks like a lot of fun.  I guess things that look really dangerous can be the most fun!
