DO FUCKING WANT
This so tops my old dreams of bungee jumping/skydiving. Too bad you have to be an extremely experienced skydiver and pass tons of training to actually be allowed to do that. :<

Looks awesome!

But yeah, I would have no time for training.

Im working for my AFF-A license, when i have that one i will go to Texel and do some wingsuit jumps ^_^. A few peeps from the club also mentioned we should try this someday, although taking it one step at the time :cool: :biggrin:

That's amazing. I remember seeing something similar on Discovery a year or so back, but these guys are taking it further. I'd never dare to fly so close to a friggin' cliffside. Very cool indeed

I've always wanted to go skydiving. Base jumping not so much, but that's definitely pretty sweet. I've seen it before. The things those guys do are amazing.

Daub:

Me during training at Texel in 07. Last stick at about 7.30, sun was setting, 1000FT clouds, and a wind that was a bit to hard to feel completely safe. Landing was very soft though, the shute settled very easy on the ground.

This is me approaching the LZ at Westerbroek, the LZ from PCMN(skydive hilversum). Worst landing up to this point, i flared to early and try to make some last minute turns. Looked painfull, wasnt for me.
