I have seen this before. This guy is a few cards short of a deck.

What a rush that must be!! That shot through the gorge was unreal...Thanks for sharing that Txshooter38

Yeah 10-4. Sweet clip and yeah he is a little off. But damn...gotta admire his free spirit. i think that is what drives us all to go out and "go for it" in whatever we do!!

Everybody gets to die....but not everyone truly lives.

Yeah man that looks like great fun ... dunno about buzzing the ground but :o
Those newer suits use ram air "tech" to plump up the wings and make an air foil ...

Very impressive but the margin of error is so thin and the results so catastrophic if you fail, it makes me shudder.

This video was floating around some years ago - also very impressive.

What an awesome video, I have seen several before but like already said, the shot through the gorge was unreal!

Wow, that was awesome. Thanks for sharing. I couldn't imagine flying that fast and coming so damn close to the ground. Guy is nuts!

I saw a documentary on that guy on Channel 4 here in the UK. Very interesting guy, he's pretty open about the fact that he has been suicidal in the past, and viewed base jumping as a shortcut to either glory or suicide.

I can't watch the vid because I'm at work, but I remember that in the TV show I saw, his buddy slammed into the bridge in Colorado. Not much fun for the people watching.
