Warren Miller: Base Jumping Squirrel Suite video

[NiteManhattan]

Does anyone know what the music in this video is from?

[spamstoper3]

5*****

[jonnyjig11]

How dare you call this guy a nut bag? That's the coolest thing I've ever seen.

[moto1p1]

In case you don't believe what you just saw?...Rape the repeat button. I did!!!

[youtubasoarus]

This isn't "defying" gravity. It's giving gravity a break.

[NikoKun]

Yeah, the sound was not added. Check out several other wing-suit videos, if they have ground shots, you'll hear the same sound anytime they pass the camera man.

I'd guess it's the sound of an entire human body ripping through the air at such high speeds.

Go outside, pick up a long thin-flexible stick, and wave/flick it as fast as your arm can swing it. You should hear the "air-cutting" sound. Probably the same concept.

[moto1p1]

Like Tommy Boy says "I've seen alot of stuff in my life, but that was...AWESOME! ! !

[goingtoeatpizza]

not that its all that important but this is not base jumping. He exited from an aircraft so its skydiving.

BASE is strictly defined as exiting from a fixed object.

[chipleader14]

@goingtoeatpizza

these are used for base jumping, though

[goingtoeatpizza]

@chipleader14 yes wingsuits are used for both skydiving and base jumping

[GuitarMaster5155]

heck yeah id mess up to. But id do it for a six pack and a hundred bucks.

[muckstar23]

since it cost money to do ,...i would do it for free

anytime

[puffyhair1990]

I couldnt be paid enough to ever do that... Id defenitly mess up...

[Maskas1104]

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

[MrEdmoran]

absolutly fukin amzing

[GuitarMaster5155]

before i die make sure i get myself in a squrell suit

[mwoote3]

This is next venture!!

[DoritosDude]

That's so sick the way he got close to the mountains.

[channelKJTW]

someone told me that guys dead now... suprise suprise.

[SondeBeeches]

Well that someone is wrong, they're alive and well.

[xyaqua]

This is so awesome, it truly fills me with awe!

I cannot stop laughing at this, the sheer audacity of defying gravity like that!!!

This has got to be the same kind of rush as winning the tour de france, for the fifth time.

it's like kissing God.

I'm sure the jet sound was added, it's warren miller after all. Too bad, the raw sound would have been just as impressive. If you doubt me, go watch a speed skiing event, and when they fly by you over 200 kph, the sound is like heaven AND hell!

[SmokeHellaDank]

lol wtf is that man the sheer audacity of defying gravity! LOL!

[Maskas1104]

oh yes

[Nu13th]

There was a jet like sound as he passed the camera at the end. Was that sound added or is it really the noise of these squirrel suits speeding through the air?

[kuchma4]

i didnt add it thats for sure

[Nu13th]

Great Vid kuchma4. Thanks for your reply about the sound of the suits.

[cb1313bb]

@kuchma4

going a hundred miles per hour.. your suite will make that sound.

[Inthelanddownunder]

@Nu13th no mate. Saw this on opening night and Mr. Miller himself was there introducing the film and taking questions. It was funny because almost every question wasn't about skiing....it was about this guy who jumps out of the plane. That's the real sound of the air rushing past his suit. Amazing.

[xyaqua]

@Nu13th

I thought it was added, but i was wrong. this is just ridiculously insanly awesome.  Were I to die doing this, it would be a life well spent.

[bodaggin]

@Nu13th I think it's just the flapping of his suit in the wind. At that speed no matter how loose or tight, it's gonna sound like a machine gun lol

[Nu13th]

@bodaggin Thanks for your reply and I think you're right.  I'd imagine that there could be no greater thrill than this sport.

[SuperRevolutionizer]

@Nu13th hey man the sound is actually from the helicopter that dropped him

[Nu13th]

@SuperRevolutionizer The sound is just before 1:11. It wooshes by in sync with guy passing by. I can hear the chopper in the background but that's a stationary sound. No doppler effect on the chopper at 1:11 but there is a doppler effect on the squirrel suit as he passes. I think it's the suit noise. Thanks for your reply. This sport looks like the biggest adreno rush ever.

[keenanric90]

wow

[hippykiller1]

I'd love to do that.

[OberstStruppi]

insane lol

[toni470]

Suit... not suite.

[aquamakwesha]

[kegonlegz2]

[xWTFproductionx]

[Injess]

this one gave me goose bumps.

[camparianbliss]

un. be. lievable.

[drkflm03]

Dude!?!? Most extreme and incredible stunt i've ever scene...Ballz of steel. Unfortunately this guys was too ballzy, he died attempting a similar stunt last year :(

Visually astounding!

[jobe66]

Umm. Jean Albert is still alive idiot.

[MissAPierce]

jobe's right. Loic Jean Albert is very much alive, and hasn't had any accidents to speak of.

[usaskier913]

*jealously

[skierinvermont]

sick jump man totaly rad...

[sNowBalLzZzz]

UNBELIEVABLE. THEN SPEECHLESS.

[hohaii]

Massive! ;D

[camparianbliss]

Good God that was insane.

[drkflm03]

indeed

[DontFlag]

squirrel

[sk8er136]

holy shit what id do to do that what vid is this on

[howard123444]

its from Warren Miller's Journey

[bamos40]

I don't usually say this but here goes anyway;

HOLY-FCKANDSHIT!

[classicrockneverdies]

all of you that say its fake- your too pussy to do it yourself

[ufcfighter234]

this vidoe is for the people that dont give a flying fuck about there lives lol

[kage223119]

no this video is for the people that care allot about their lives. the people that do this give allot for their lives. this is what makes life worth it.

[coma9]

ufcfighter234, sadly, you kind of predicted something, he did die from doing an extreme stunt... google it.

[wyrechaser]

holy ground effect!!

[woodworkingplans]

One day.... splat

[andhemills]

It already happened.

[Mladin66]

Great fakin $#!+..........!!!!!!

[petike555]

I saw this in the theater opening night and concluded that this stunt was the most insane I have ever even heard of.

Un fucking believably amazing.

[cyssou]

the guys on this vid is Loïc Jean Albert

[themag221]

fuck !!!

[apeppink]

He must be VERY confident in his ability to control his flight dynamics.

[apeppink]

Wow. That takes more b____ than brains.

[boltsmag]

What gets me is the amount of concentration and focus you need to have doing that. One little mistake, one little twitch and what not and you're crashing.

Think of it like the movie "The Rocketeer" -- your head can essentially act like the rudder on a flight like that.

VERY cool though.

[iHatePenNames]

^^^ no way man , water is like concrete at that speed

I'd like to see someone do that with a toboggan and slide down the snow though,but i don't know how they would stop

[ThrashATL]

Has anyone ever jumped in a Birdman suit over water and never touched the chute? Just flare out and bail into the water?

[Steg6969]

longest face plant in history if he fails.. did someone say humans cant fly?

[andyc505]

i saw this movie in the theater there is better footage of this guy he is actually 15 feet above the surface at times

[brianconcannon]

a horizontal BASE jump absolutely insane this guy is so rad he's a genius !!!

all the practice jumps to get closer and closer. talking abut pushing the limits

the most extreme thing ive ever seen - oh yeah !!!***

[Gwailow111]

That is insane!!! I wanna try!!!

[zano0was0his0namo]

Pfft, I can do that. :P

That's cool, though.

[blackrat1228]

holy shit
