Fly Like An Eagle
POSTED IN: Blog Posts, Videos
The real fun starts 50 seconds in.
Dang, I wish I were cool enough to have a wingsuit and throw around words like “base jump” and “proximity fly.”
I’ve gotta know, is this something you would ever try?

Incredible and breath-taking. I have always wanted to “fly like an eagle” but to jump off the cliffs like these guys – I would have to be pushed.
Thanks for sharing this one.

Haha, this is awesome. I don’t know if I’d be willing to do this at first…there’s a few things like skydiving that I’d like to try first where there’s a lot more open space. =)

@Nick – Yeah, I think throwing around a word like “Terminal Flip” would instantly give me extra cool points.

I would like to think I would, but no! I would chicken out for sure. Though I think for my 60th birthday I would like to try skydiving!(tandem of course)

Brad – I recall hearing “you first” back in my childhood. This time it might just be worth it.
That was one of the most fascinating videos I have seen in a while. At one point I wanted to tell the guy in yellow to pull his hands in away from those rocks. Wow.

That is so awesome. I’m freaked of heights but I’ve always wanted to fly. I think I would but I would be freaked out.

I would totally do this! I actually saw this video a while back and was absolutely amazed and mesmerized by the whole thing. It would be like driving a performance car with amazing handling around a curvy mountain road and the car hugs the road likes it nothing except you are the car and get to skim over the landscape. Sign me up!

Alright, our wingsuit jumping group is growing. Keep on signing up. This summer we’re taking a bloggers trip over to Norway to go cliff diving. We’ll webcast the whole thing for those of you too scared to go.

Heck no! Wouldn’t even do it the old fashioned way with a parachute. I’m a total wimp when it comes to heights.

Let’s book a trip. I would make it all the way to the ledge. You would have to push me off. No lie. But I would love it.

I’m pretty sure if I got over there and what not with the help of some people convincing me to do this, I could do it. It looks fun.

I’d try it… I think. I’d don the suit and chute but jumping off a perfectly good cliff? I guess I would have to wait until that moment to find out!

I would LOVE to do this! What a rush…
But there IS a reason you hear about one of these guys dying every so often. Uh, it’s dangerous. So the question becomes weighing risks against rewards.
Or am I over-thinking it?

@Jason – Yes bro, you are over-thinking it. Something that fun doesn’t need to be thought through, just experienced!

Hey Brad, and I actually saw the youtube videos a couple years ago, and it seems super fascinating, and makes me squirm because what happens if one of the guy slams himself into the wall like a bug. But it’s something I would try once in my lifetime.
