For you Sky Gods

It was a pretty big "hole", natural arch more like it but still..........

Amazing footage.

Those wingsuits sure seem to add quite a bit to horizontal travel.

That was pretty sweet looking, but now let's see how well he flies through the arch with 100 or so pounds of rucksack and other bits and pieces of equipment tied to his ass. I will be really impressed then.

Search for some of his BASE footage. He's pretty amazing jumper. He's also the guy who got arrested trying to jump off the Empire State Bldg.


Here's another clip - it's a few years old - but probably more amazing. Loic Jean Albert http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmZyB_ghpa0

It's about 2 hours down to Window Rock (http://www.kimashleyphotos.com/Window%20Rock%2072.jpg) on the Navajo Rez from here. Hmmmm......;)

.......that "mountain" is only something like 200' high. Better be a fast draw and quick opening.:eek:

Nah, I been there. It's at least 250.
You'd also have to avoid the big Code Talker monument near the parking lot.
I'd do it but I'm too old.;)

Jeb Corliss is the man, and he wants to be the first guy to conduct a standup landing from wing suit (read no canopy).

Here is one of my favorites, stuff that Loic is doing now:
