Wingsuit BASE jumping on History Channel

[GreenBrake]

240p.. i never thought we would see each other again !

[UltraFaller]

What was that aqua man thing in the beginning of the video?

[joeysasickciant]

forward speed 200mph my arse more like 120mph

[mytonge123]

Could you jump off your house and glide to the ground????

[tyebillion]

01:12 Riker

[getstarted822]

that is not fly

[messyfly]

@getstarted822

This is flying your body.

[SeRgA123456789]

i want one of thees NOW!!!!!!!!!! xD

[guyinkentucky1]

"Falling with style"

Buzz Lightyear

LOL

[aleariza]

I have to get me one of those...

[guyman20]

@aleariza idiot. if u never skydived before, i will give u for free if u want, just put me on your will.

[aleariza]

@guyman20 yes please give me one for free, I am skydiver.

[dafray1991]

falling with style....................

[kevincc13]

sick duuuuuuuuuuude

[Lamb00FGoD]

Why dont they make a suit with some lengthy poles with grips to grab and swing outward to give greater wing area thus giving more lift allowing you to land safely. I dont see why this hasnt been achieved yet.

[reddog22000]

No human has enough arm strength to hold poles out while gliding like that.

[druevin]

@Lamb00FGoD that does not fall under the category wingsuit, that is hanggliding my friend :)

[AFSKID]

Flying above the clouds like that wow..

[Yestherestheresther]

All he needs now is a secret identity and an evil nemisis.

Thats funny, gravity is everyones evil nemisis.

[bradboy199]

it is flying just as much as a flying squirrel is a flying squirrel not a gliding squirrel

[kidi1232]

the difference is damn simple: a glider uses outside forces (thermals) to generate speed and height or uses its kinetic and potential (starting height) when it begins the flight.

flying means that you generate force during the flight itself (waving the wings or engine).

squirrels glides, the same with wingsuit.

so probably the term flying squirrel is just wrong.

[bradboy199]

everything generates force in flight...otherwise wingsuits or gliders would be unable to change direction or modify course in any way and would fall straight down...wingsuits generate a force called lift that enables them to acheive their glide ratio, just like the flying squirrel

I would say your definition of flying is not very inclusive...a paraglider using external thermals can stay aloft for similar amounts of time to small aircraft because the latter runs out of gas

[kidi1232]

lift force is not a force that is generated by the flying object, but by the friction of the static air with the moving flying object.

and steering does requires force, but its still not a force that gives energy to the flying object, because its active for a very shot distance (force over distance = work. work = changes in energy, energy = height (potential energy) + velocity (kinetic energy). steering forces just change the direction of the velocity, usually that will cause to loose energy.

[bradboy199]

first lift is generated by pressure, not friction, but that's beside the point

the point is that you can define flight however you want...i define flight more loosely than you (clearly)

here's two questions for you, when you dream of flying, do you have an engine attached to you? if not, the closest thing is wingsuits...

also, FYI, skydivers describe their in air moves as flying as well, look up terms like freeflying or flying RW. and the wingsuit community comes out of skydiving

[bradboy199]

second question is whether you are a skydiver? while i am certainly not an authority on skydiving and definitely not wingsuit flying, though i aspire to learn to fly a wingsuit in the next couple of years, wingsuits are a part of a community that uses specific terminology oftentimes resembling that of physics, but not quite.

For instance: skydivers refer to hitting terminal, but in theory you can never hit terminal, only approach it

[kidi1232]

im not a skydiver, nor a base jumper, nor used a wingsuit.

im a student, i learn physics (my favorite subject) and very interested by mechanics. im a fan of flying and gliding, planes, helicopters, birds, hang gliding, paragliding, wingsuits and sky diving. very interested in aerodynamics and Aerospace engineering. i'll attempt to join the air-force. and im trying to begin paragliding.

when im dreaming about flying i usually see myself with wings, or with jets like iron-man.

[kidi1232]

but i also see myself in wingsuits or even just sky-diving. but then i feel more the exciting in FALLING, i never thinks about these as flying.

you can make the definition of flying-gliding really easy: when a vulture extends its wings, and dont move them-it glides, when it starts to wave them - it flies. most of the birds and most of the planes both fly and glide (not on the same time however). bugs, small birds and helicopters can only fly. squirrels, wingsuits and hang-gliders can only glide

[shadowscion]

buzz lightyear didnt say that wtf

WOODY DID

[kidi1232]

buzz also said that at the end of the movie (when woody tells him "bazz- you are flying" bazz tells him "thats not flying - thats falling with style".

LOL toy story was my favorite movie when i was a kid.

[johnthekeane]

It's not really flying though,is it?

[Draaca]

No its not, but for every meter you fall, you are going forward several meters. Almost like flying, but only almost :)

[BojanglesCanada]

its gliding

[JamesWitte]

We're falling, with style!

[red2lucas]

it's falling... with style

[thepatweir]

like Iron man...

[nearwin]

THATS WOODY YOU CUNT

[eksdem]

Thanks for uploading this!

[n8032]

HOLYYY SHITTT! thats here i learned to DIVEE!!!! GO LODII!!!!!!

[LSESSII]

Go Lodi Go.

[Benbo222]

This is great! I can't wait to do stuff like this when I'm older!

[elusivetantra]

Nice one for the link Chris hope all's well?

[kikthecan]

ditto

[moolikeacow2]

Sweet! It was cool to see you on the History Channel man. Very cool.

[lautaarmy]

great vid, im glad ur posting vids like this one

[kenyoung1981]

Heading to Lodi soon as this weather clears up for my first tandem!
