I'm sorry for your loss, mate. Thank you both for sharing your experiences with us.

No. I am sorry to hear that- as others have said, thank you for sharing with us. Peace.

These guys do such incredible things most wouldn't even consider doing, sad we lose so many so young, but perhaps they've lived fuller lives than most who reach old age!

May he RIP.

I am so sorry for your loss, friend.

But this game dont have respawn

Fancy seeing you here! Top man, love your vids.

@@potatolover4154 Hardcore mode for real!

2003 called they want their basement jokes back

Thought same. 😄

funny most of those guys from the early years are all dead now

@@jonnie2bad The thought of flying on your own "wings" is something I could not have resisted. I am too old now so unless I am ready to take myself out I think I will just watch those who can.

some of the best climbers are dead now bc of this sport. Adrenaline chasing is ultimately a good way to end up dead if not put in check. And no amount of expertise can control all the variables.

@@mariosola1 I am curious how climbing contributed to the death of wing suit flyers? Did they fall trying to reach a peak to fly or did they die flying?

@@michaelgrabianowski6567 Try paragliding. It is completely safe and you can climb up on it. If it's slow - speedflying.

Thanks Drew

Yeah

Yes it did lol. Should have waited a tad longer.

May you rest in peace.

Bruh

This is still unbelievable 😢

the adrenaline fades after 5-15 minutes.

I'm pretty sure he meant first time at that particular spot. Not 100% though.

Title says BASE Jump. Not including from a plane in wide open air.

I am a wing suit flyer. I do not BASE jump and I do not fly close to anything whatsoever. To me, the sensation of flying and doing the same or similar maneuvers with 1000s of feet to spare is wonderful. I have 150 + Jumps and with 2 chutes per jump I like my odds far better enjoying it this way. I wish more could be satisfied without the extreme risk.

@@STEEPPOW Fascinating. Let me ask you a question. Do you think you would get the same thrill or satisfaction in a small individual sized virtual airplane; like a jet pack, or the jet-powered wing suit they have videos of, of is the seriousness of the risk what focuses you?

@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid correct

Traveling the opposite way tho .. xD

Thanks Ronnie

Indeed

More like a skipping stone

Thanks Stefan

I'm 57 years old too so you are definitely not too old.

@@LarryHack Thanks Larry, but I just don't bounce like I used too. LOL!

Both jumped at same instance made me think it might be a drone.

Thank you 🙂 Such a pleasure to capture my friends fulfilling their dreams.

that's one silent drone. it's obvious that a person steps and jumps behind the first one from the tiny camera bob after countdown.

Thanks Bibek

It was hard

Thank-you! It felt amazing.

Props to you for being terrified of heights and being 5 jumps in!

Props for even being 1 jump in, let alone 5 🙌

base jumping is the most dangerous extreme sport in the world, that makes me hesitate

@@egg-iu3fe the adrenaline rush is amazing! When I landed after my 1st , I told the instructor 2nd best feeling in the world

Uhhh buddy……ancient Egyptians would’ve considered this child’s play. No modern or current tech is able to reproduce what the super advanced ancient africans and Indians were capable of. But yes it is fun.

@@robinlarge1630 Ha ha ha brilliant, my Action Man was never that unfortunate. My Evel Knieval also had some pretty good base jump experiences on his chopper😁.

Thanks Ray

Supposed it being 5k... i'd guess the gopro hero 10. Chris should confirm I am very intrueged aswell.

Yes it is a GoPro 10 Black filmed in 5.3k wide. Really impressed with camera.

@@greenflyingdude Thanks for replying! I need to update my GoPro... I still have a Hero Black 3 :-|

@@macronencer Nice 🙂 The GoPro 3 was my first action camera I loved it.

@@greenflyingdude RIP man

Wow, thanks Hurrifan.

You could technically glide all the way down if the angle of the ground is the same slope as your angle/slope of sliding/descending. Kind of like those Olympic ski jumpers, they fly through long distances and land on ski ramp at an angle. But that's all theory. Doing it is another thing :P

I think you'd stall out, coming at that angle

Ha!

you must be really fun to hangout with

@@x9_ripper686 Dude, it’s a joke. Lighten up!

Well thank-you!

It wasn't too bad. The 2nd one was softer :-)

It was not one of my better deployments for sure lol. I should have slowed down a bit more first.

Thanks Ice Man

It was my first jump from this location, a famous place that I dreamed of jumping for many years.

Thanks!

Generally you do at least 200 jumps before you first put on a wingsuit, after that I'm not sure. But I imagine most people would be looking to do around another 200 wingsuit skydives and a whole bunch of basejumps before doing a wingsuit base jump. It's been a while since I was on the skydiving scene so my knowledge is a bit rusty

@@Arrica101 right.. not skydiving…. Wingsuitting. Lot of pilots I know won’t BASE jump so I’m curious how many flights out the plane before going to base. I wander what the “normal” number is, I’ve no idea ..

@@IAnonymous3 Wingsuiting out of a plane is skydiving. It's just one of the many disciplines of skydiving. And wingsuit base-jumping is just one of the many disciplines of BASE jumping. You can do both sports without ever wingsuiting if you choose, but normally no base jumping without a fair amount of skydiving first. And normally no wingsuit base with a fair amount of wingsuit skydiving first. This wasn't his first wingsuit basejump, it was just the first time off this particular mountain. Normal experience requirement to wingsuit skydive is after minimum 200 skydives. Normal experience before BASE jumping is also 200 skydives, but that's more suggested than required. And normally one would do minimum 100 wingsuit skydives and minimum 100 BASE jumps before deciding to wingsuit basejump. And then 50 or so wingsuit base jumps before flying this close to the mountain. It's a long, fun journey getting to this point. Steady progression is the best way to do it safely, and cutting corners often lead to completely avoidable injuries.

@@nickb5945 why I was wandering everyone does it differently. Friends that have done 4/500 wingsuit jumps and never and won’t ever do wingsuit base. Just wandering what this individual did and how many flights he did until this first base. Tons of people try to go straight to it and many of them aren’t around anymore. May they Rest In Peace.

@@IAnonymous3 I did about 100 skydives then went and got professional training at a bridge in ID from someone that teaches BASE jumping every day. I started flying a tracking suit between 100 and 200 jump. No wings but fills up with air and allows you to travel farther. Then did some jumps out of a balloon with the tracking suit. Had about 30 BASE jumps when I went to Norway in 2015 to jump off a large cliff. I got 12 jumps there. Started flying a wingsuit at 200 skydives. Found talented wingsuit BASE flyers to mentor me. Flew my wingsuit from a balloon in my BASE rig. Went to Italy with my mentor in 2016 and did my first several wingsuit BASE jumps. Went back to Europe in 2017, 2018. Had 2 trips planned in 2019 but had to cancel both due to covid. This was my first year back after a 2 year hiatus but tons of wingsuit flying from planes. Going back in September this year for a heliboogie (helicopter take you to top of mountain) in the Dolomites.

Let’s see… YES.

yes indeed

Haha! Go get some Carl :-)

Thanks John!

Thanks

Thanks!

I had about 35 wingsuit BASE jumps before flying at the Crack. This was my first time here.
