Just saw this video and and was blown away, these guys are like meat missiles. It may have been posted already in another thread but what hell, I'm willing to take that risk because that's just the kind of wide eyed thrill seeking junky I am, well, maybe not as much as these guys.
If your into ultra high speed crop dusting and incredible scenery give this an optic, if your've seen better please share, doesn't even have to be as good. This vid seems to get better and better the whole way through, I personally like the angles at 1:48 and 3:20.

Bummer, I clicked on the link again and it worked for me, I don't know if having a Mac has anything to do with it. It's a site I hadn't heard of before, I'll try a different link....

www.dump.com/?x=0&y=0&s=base+jumping+wingsuit

and this one is a different vid but similar ......



Anyone else have trouble?

When you say it's raining men, you must be talking about the sky divers right

Technically this is one of the most extreme videos.

The wing suit guys can pull out any time they like. They are only going to be in trouble if they make a series of big mistakes.

These guys have no options. It's make it or die stuff.

Those vids do really (excuse the pun) bring you down to earth. Looks like they didn't have the skill to back up their ego. I'm guessing in the formation dive the two guys above flew into the lower guys wash, one sport where drafting doesn't pay off.
Hey Ben, who cares if it's been posted before, that clip looks like it is from a video game. I'd love to see this kind of think shown at an IMAX cinema or 3D on a big screen. The ridge in the last seems a bit like the one near the start of this vid, should be in a Batman or James Bond movie, could also make for an interesting remake of the flying nun.



And how good was the backy, what a landing! That's the kind of inspiring stuff I like to see.

Actually, they do have an option, pull their reserve chute.

I thought about paragliding for convenience sake but it looked to slow, I wanted to fly faster and head first so took up hang gliding, just got back after lunch today flying 4000ft over Baldivis.
As an example, if to be an extreme sport means the highest risk of injury or worse I'd have to give it to paragliders and kites, but if it's speed and performance then hanggliders and windsurfers with the wing suits topping the list in both. There's obviously a lot more sports to add but kept it short. I think it's a large combo of speed, risk, visuals, high performance, height, depth and those with the talent and skill to raise the bar to a whole new level.
Anyway, I went a bit off topic, the goal for this thread was to show any type of sport video that makes you say "WOAH, THAT"S AWSOME!"
Waiting for Jetman to make an appearance......

They're flying at over 6500 m over the back of a mountain over glaciers in Pakistan.

If they had to throw their reserve they might survive the landing. It is highly unlikely that they would survive the walk out.

There are pilots flying in that area and they're flying up to 7800 m and covering distances up to 250 km. It's only a matter of time before they crack the 8000 m mark.

Those extreme altitude flights are relatively safe. They are in gliding distance of landing options most of the time.

The mountain circuits take the pilots over uninhabited and uninhabitable terrain. Once you get your self in a blind valley behind a mountain then the only way out is up.

extreme swing !!!! looks like alot of fun !

That's out there, something about half that size would have been great as a kid.
Noticed that all these vids require no motor and the quality of production is fantastic, most look like broadcast standard or better.
