Wow. Props to Matt on his flying. I have been reading his articles in Blue Skies and it's nice to see the end result of all the work he has put in even after all the tragedy he has seen. Blue Skies :)
This is by far, the best video I've seen yet on proximity flying! You get so low to the ground but stay low for so much longer than other people! I would love to do this one day
Right now that is the only shipping option internationally. But if you get a friend to also buy the book... or better two friends, the shipping costs shrink per book. If you have any interest in BASE, the money is well well worth it.
Hey is there any way of buying the Base-Book in New Zealand? Or is it able to be shipped for cheaper than the $40 US quoted on the site? Really keen to get my hands on it but just starting out in skydiving and the poverty that goes along with it ;) Cheers
@snakedike The best glide ratio right now is a little above 3:1. But they get a little better every year. I highly recommend you check out the book Great Book of BASE to get more details on the wingsuits
I thought Jeb Corlis," Flying the Crack" was the limit. This beats that.
Neil Armstrong, John Glenn, and all the other guys with 'The Right Stuff" are great pilots, but Jeb and this Matt guy own you. The best pilots to ever draw a breath.
Quite amazing piloting. Looks like a fast speed riding video but one of the best wingsuit base vids I've seen. Is this suit on the market are is it custom? The glide you're getting seems better than I have seen.
@ukspeedfly I am pretty sure it is an off the rack Tony Suit. Yeah, a lot of people these days can buzz an object. But there are only a few others guys in the world who can fly that low above the terrain for that long.
@ChrisMcNamara7. I have been watching base-jumping videos since TB7 came out... (yeah, I am old. )
and I am sure, 100% that today, in 2011...-> Only Matt Gerdes can fly That Low , That Close, for That LONG ... Only Him, and no one else.....and It would be nice if everybody could just admit it...but maybe the "extrem world" is blind..? ;)
its my dream to do this for a living after i get out of the military
sick video man!
