Wednesday December 19, 2007 Random ramblings
Wednesday December 19, 2007 Disturbingly mad: Wing-suit mountain-road flyby. They seem to have really good aerodynamic control though - quite controlled, precise turns at least.
Apparently some in the skydiving community are hoping to eventually be able to land using just wing-suits (e.g. by landing on a slope, like a ski-jumper). To get an idea of the glide-ratio (and just how apparently insane these people are), have a look at this extremely low chute opening (again, note the precise turn-in to the landing zone).
There's a lot more of that stuff on Youtube. Completely nuts.

they have these really cool things called hang gliders,you never need an airplane, you launch and land on your feet,you can soar thermals ,ridge lift,waves,etc. and stay in the air for hours and potentially fly hundreds of miles. you guys arent trying to reinvent one of these are you?
