I am 31 years old and most of my life i have had dreams (real dreams, like when you are asleep) of being able to fly (kinda like superman). I have these dreams bout 3 times a month and when i wake up it is so much fun trying to remember of of it. Its the greatest feeling (in my dreams). I can only imagine that this is the closest thing that you could come to my dreams. I often wonder why i have the dreams.
is it possible for someone with zero experience to get trained to wing suit flight? I don't know how to sky or snowboard... i'd like to try jumping off a cliff. what preparatory experiences would you recommend to get started?
Very important: you can't do it with no experience. Jumping from a cliff is not "normal", it's for specialists only, even if it seems easy on TV. So 1st do an AFF course at your local Drop zone. Then become an experienced jumper, and finally decide what you want to do at last. don't start from the end, but from the beginning. It's the best way to keep being alive. You can kill yourself doing something stupid...
if u want the simple way go commit suicide and dont bring a bad name to the sport
it takes a lot of education and knowledge to do this kind of stuff. the realities is it is like jumping out of a plane in a straight jacket. so many people gave there life to get the wingsuit to the level as it is now.
@Keyl1336 you need 200 regular skydive jumps in 18 months or 500 cumulative jumps to be able to fly a wingsuit. but even then, you are still recommended to be introduced to wingsuit jumping by an experienced wingsuit pilot.
My point is the fear of death which is the pulse making me doing such annatural thing as jumping out of an airplane. Everytime you "escape from death" after a successful jump, you feel more "alive". Our modern society takes us away from the natural dangers of nature: predators. So we recreate this pulse of survival into extreme sports, for having a meaning in life? My 2 cents ideas about the topic...
Of course it does, and you can have bad malfunctions, so caution. But with the proper training, it drives you to a new dimension of flying. Unbeatable!
Thanks Mauwii (by the way, I love that name!). Well, it depends on you to explore the world or not. What I see on your videos is that you are an enthusiastic young person with enough guts to share with the rest of the world what he likes the most: jumping! We actually do the same: you from the ground and me from airplanes...Your dad must be a cool guy too: he did a great kid like you! ;-) Keep jumping and being enthusiastic! And go discover the world some day, it's worth it!...
You are youtube's best kept secret, Boris. Your videos are works of art. And let me know when Gro releases her CD, i'll be standing in line to buy it......
Wow, thanks! I'm really touched by what you've just written...About Gro, I'm just like you: waiting for her CD to pop up some day. For now, only the people of her small town in Norway can have the pleasure to hear her performing her fantastic work, and the people she conducts to feel her incredible energy...Some day, I know I will go back there to listen her live music again. The last time, it was 10 years ago in Vienna for a unique performance. She's a well kept secret as well...
is beatiful

Dear All,
I have some question about psychology:
*Why do we love flying and windsuiting?
*Why do we want the fun of skydiving despire the risk?
THNAK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!!

Is it hard to keep in the air?
sharpg107 3 years ago
You'll need more muscular strength than in a normal jump, due to the surface you're using against the air.

Nice footage! Can't wait to learn flying wingsuit myself :) One more season and i will hopefully be ready!

I have a question: In a typical jump i fall 50 seconds. How long you can fly with Wingsuit at the same altitude and same opening altitude?

You can simply doubble the time... and the FUN!

i think from the numbers i've read that you can more than halve your horizontal terminal velocity, depending on the suit.
