These guys show the ultimate level of commitment to what they do. Some would call them insane. I think theiy're just good and confident. L-i-v-i-n, livin!!!

JeffKnox, I remember the only time I went skydiving, before wingsuits were even out, and listening to the guys there talk about how they were really starting to figure out tracking/flying and they were so jacked up about it. They were getting like a 1:1 forward to fall ratio and were hyped but now with those suits they get like a 3:1 ratio, unreal. Must feel so good!

i saw this a while ago, so amazing. i donno how the crap they can get so close to those cliff walls, i would freak out even jumpin let alone being a foot away from a massive rocky cliff wall of death.
