Those of you who have been following my podcast and site for some time are aware that I’m enthralled with human flight in all forms. So when base jumping came along I was pretty jazzed. I saw it as skydiving but with a since of speed and distance that the viewer just doesn’t get when watching a skydiver in the middle of the clear blue sky. Now some would argue that base jumping/skydiving isn’t flying but rather just falling - I say ‘no way’ and that anything can fly with enough speed. Check out these folks achieving forward motion with nothing other then their bodies.

It’s a pretty good base jump vid, set to some sweet music.

Enjoy

If you haven’t seen this before then it is my pleasure to introduce WingSuit Flying to you - The New Frontier of Human Flight!

When I first saw the videos above I just about fell out of my chair. I think you’ll agree that this is about the closest thing EVER to actual human flight to date without the aid of mechanical assistance.

To say this is amazing is an understatement- Most people would have never thought this was even possible. Of course some will call it insane and crazy but those who do are the usual naysayers of any new frontier.

Loic Jean Albert and his friends are pioneers of the same caliber as the astronauts who went to the moon, and those of us who have the same yearning to fly with freedom in the sky like a real bird were given the biggest boost we could have ever asked for before this- Simply by it’s emergence through the selfless acts of incredible bravery on the part of those who are pioneering it.
