Wingsuit proximity flying - Norway 2010

This is an edit with short clips from various wingsuit flights I did in Norway late in the 2010 season. All jumps are done in the area of Romsdalen and Eikesdalen in Norway.

I might make a "full" edit some time later on. I just really felt like making a fast pace edit with this music.

Music: Justice - Genesis.

Very Nice! Did anyone else notice what looks like a microwave tower on the slope at 2:12? Damn that was close! I wonder if he saw it or just lucked-out and missed the guy-wires?

@spinbaba

It is a dead tree, so there is no guy wires :)

Dead trees can be a little bit hard to spot, but i knew about this one, it was not my first flight on that slope.

From no sky diving experience, how many years would you say it takes to get to a level where you can start proximity flying? I've read about the progression, but can't see anywhere talking about time estimates...

[HalvorAngvik]

@tarsanth

thats because it cant really be measured in time. How long time it takes depends on

1) how much time and money you have to do AFF course, buy euipment and jump an insane ammount of jumps, and travel to jump even more when you cant jump due to winter or bad weather on your local dropzone

2) how fast you learn, and how the rules for wingsuit flying from planes in your country is

3) how easy you can get into the base community and the avaliability of mountains to jump where you live

@HalvorAngvik Planning to take my AFF in Spain this spring, so guess I'll start to get an idea then. Really inspiring stuff to watch; must be the most incredible feeling to actually do it :)

[HalvorAngvik]

@tarsanth

yeah, thats the only way to find out. Once you've done your fist 100 and get to talk to experienced jumpers, you'll get a good understanding of the work you'll have to put into it

The people at :52 must be "WTF is batman doing in Norway??"

@HalvorAngvik

I just wanted to thank you HalvorAngvik for the amazing and inspring stuff you and the other jumpers do, When i was very sick in hospital, watching clips like this gave me the will power to continue, and its a dream of mine to oneday try out Base myself to help inspire others like myself. So thank you from the bottom of my heart, its people like you that played a role in saving mylife :)

Ive had one tandem at 7000 feet, it was so scary jumping, but freefall was an amazing feeling

Is it easy to turn in those suits? i mean id be shit scared about flying into the lake.

[spinbaba]

@HalvorAngvik That's good news my friend! It's really an amazing video. I hope you get top sponsors to enjoy your sports, the best equipment possible, and stay safe. God Speed, Halvor. (wow, that dead tree sure does stick up above the rest ... when I was visualising your flight full screen, I must say I nearly shat!)
