that first video especially is incredible. It looks like the alpes, but I didn't see if it said.

does anyone else think maybe this guy watched too much rocky and bullwinkle?
also where do i get a flying squirrel suit for my monster?
how do i get paid to do stuff like that?
A guy I used to work with does this. It's a very small community of people who use wingsuits around the world, he probably knows whoever made this video.
He was telling me you can bet that those guys have done dozens of jumps in the same area in order to get that close to the walls and outcrops.
Looks fun as hell. Probably an expensive hobby too.

now that's awesome. I'd love to give that a try and also the winged jet pack the guy used to cross the English channel.

Felix did it without jet power. The other guy was Yves Rossy. He used a jet pack.

We have talked about this before, but this will be Felix's most incredible jump.

Very exciting video! [beer]
I'll let those guys do it, and then watch the videos.
How expensive could the squirrel suit be?

Between 500 and 1000 euros.
OK, well not really cheap, but not crazy expensive.
If you were already skydiving recreationally, wouldn't be that expensive of a thing to start doing.

Several Skydive centers will bring in experienced wing suit flyers, and run clinics on flying them.
