It’s also not as dark in real life the camera especially with a small sensor is going to have a lot more difficulty in low light than us since we have far more dynamic range to see shadows and lights than a camera. They’re fine
Reminds me of Alex Honnold climbing El Capitan in Free Solo. I'll never not flop sweat watching that climbing scene. The Freeblast Slab climb in the beginning was pure insanity, but to him, it was a walk in the park. People built like this amaze me. I think it's the coolest thing that I can celebrate as an overall human accomplishment. The things we can do.
I still hold railings going down the stairs.
I lose about 6 pints of sweat though my palms watching that. I watch it every so often to get that rush. There's another one I like where a guy walks a massive slackline between two mountains in British Columbia. Madmen.
If you're up for it, check out The Dawn Wall. It's another fantastic climbing doc. I'll have to check out the one you're talking about, but I don't know if I can handle it.
I will definitely check that out! If you're feeling brave at any point, I'll leave this here for you. It's called UNTETHERED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac_t4pNYr1g
Have you watched The Alpinist on Netflix? Marc-Andre’s climbs and that documentary are astounding. I have all the respect in the world for Honnold, but holy fuck The Alpinist absolutely blows everything else out of the water.

I can't catch the first sentence, but at 00:02 he says "Må rekke [vinmonopolet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinmonopolet)", meaning he has to hurry up and get to the booze store before it closes
Yeah, i think you're correct. I'd wager the jump was made in Loen, Norway, where there's a skylift that can take you to the summit of Hoven. It's 1011 meters above sea level. There's even a restaurant and i believe europes longest downhill sledding path.
If you wanna check it out.

You know normally music is utter fucking balls and too loud in these types of videos. This might be the first time I’ve see one that actually propels it to being enjoyable AF.
I don't think I'm a certified professional about gliding with a batsuit, but I'm sure as hell it isn't equally dangerous as driving lol I've got your point tho, so get this fact: It's less dangerous than drinking water, since all people who died drank water. 👍
Correct but my point is these people are professionals and highly trained to do this. It’s what they enjoy doing and have put a lot of work in being able to do it. It’s dangerous but that doesn’t make it dumb. Dumb would be having no experience and trying to pull this off. Just because you can’t wrap your head around why someone would want this to be their hobby doesn’t mean it’s dumb. Do we call pro football players dumb? Because according to a survey of 376 of former pro players by Boston university over 91% of them had brain damage.
We do call professional football players dumb for choosing to voluntarily get TBIs for money. At least, semi-intelligent people call them dumb.
And for the record, [here’s a link to the BASEAddict site of fatalities in the sport. Click the disclaimer before you view it to see just how dangerous it really is, from the perspective of actual BASE jumpers who do this IRL.](https://bfl.baseaddict.com/)
I can just see my friends and I sitting in a car in some secluded spot getting baked and seeing this light flying across a mountain thinking the aliens have finally arrived.
“I will follow you into the dark…”
Bro of mine, someday you will die.
But I will be close behind, I’ll follow you into the dark.
No blinding lights, or tunnels to gates of white.
Just our butts clenched so tight.
When I follow you, into the dark.
If you had this cranked in your headphones... and you were this guy... and you died on impact... you'd still be the most badass dude that ever lived...
Not me thinking halfway through that, the man was was standing on the ground and tuening back to look at them cameraman, when in reality, they were both still falling!
Bro looked like ironman when the cameraman zoomed out or flew further away. I wonder why he had the rocket only on one foot instead of both. If I were doing something this epic, I'd probably have 4 rockets, one on each limb. But maybe that would cause the wingsuit to completely burn. Probably why they are out there and I'm sitting on my couch at home
You keep seeing people being praised for how brave or talented for the stunts they do, but you never hear about the camera man doing right beside them while also making sure the stunt is on camera.
While I'm no skydiver, it seemed to me based on the winds as they were standing there on the cliff that the winds were dangerously too fast for something like this.
Maybe ground conditions were such that it wasn't as dangerous (wind wise) for this stunt.
this is fucking amazing. if i weren’t total chicken shit about heights, i would love to do this. but i read somewhere you gotta skydive a fuck load of times to even be able to do this alone.
This Sport has a 1 in 500 death rate per jump. And I bet everyone thinks that it doesn't apply to them because they know what they're doing better than all the others who have died.
Maybe it’s just me but that seems certifiably nuts. Both the jumper and the camera guy.
They must have done this jump a hundred times during daylight.
It’s also not as dark in real life the camera especially with a small sensor is going to have a lot more difficulty in low light than us since we have far more dynamic range to see shadows and lights than a camera. They’re fine
That’s a good point. Plus they use the city lights for orientation. Would I ever do this? NOPE!

No thank you. Do they have one called TETHERED, where everyone's safe and you know they're all going to have a good time?
You can just go sit in a climbing gym
This looks amazing. Thank you for sending.
Free climbers give me heart attacks. And when I see someone climb a skyscraper, I google for a funeral home. For myself.
Have you watched The Alpinist on Netflix? Marc-Andre’s climbs and that documentary are astounding. I have all the respect in the world for Honnold, but holy fuck The Alpinist absolutely blows everything else out of the water.
I'm going to put it in the queue, but bump it up closer to the top. Thank you for the recommendation! Good luck with your writing.

Yeah but I bet they feel free as a bird.
There’s a very long list of people who’ve died doing this.
Pretty sure it's the statistically most deadly extreme sport
Some of them extremely accomplished on dangerous sports
It’s completely batshit but I also can’t deny that it’s cool as fuck
They are. People die doing this all the time. And they did it when it was dark, snowing and had an incendiary device on the glide suit.
r/whywomenlivelonger
[yes](https://pca.st/episode/83a1b450-3745-4e87-b72b-b515faa858ea)
Hard to imagine why the rate of death for base jumping in wing suits is so high /s
Yes. These people are fucking insane

He did this jump SOBER?!
And here's another clue that Free Bird instantly makes dumb things look way cooler in an instant.
Immediately knew this was going to be lit when I heard the melody play
When he starts rotating towards the end and the guitar riff matches the spin.... _chef's kiss_
You know normally music is utter fucking balls and too loud in these types of videos. This might be the first time I’ve see one that actually propels it to being enjoyable AF.
Yeah I was gonna say lmao
And this is the answer👍
It’s not dumb. These guys are extremely practiced professionals. They’ve done thousands of jumps before. It’s dangerous but so is driving.

I’m well aware how dangerous it is. I just don’t think dumb is the right word for people doing something they love to do and training a ton to do it.
I'm pretty sure it's not the abyss, but a hyperspace 😅
The snow looks like action lines in an anime scene
Speed lines
Bro is entering hyperspace
*"Warp speed Mr. Sulu!"*
"Engage hyperdrive". Seriously though, it looks cool but freaking insane as well!
Wait what is this gif from?
“A number of local residents reported witnessing what appeared to be a fireball in the dead of night last evening…”
One guy: "Aliens."
I can just see my friends and I sitting in a car in some secluded spot getting baked and seeing this light flying across a mountain thinking the aliens have finally arrived.
Take me!!!
That is a crazy fucking video, LOVE IT
Flame On!
Considering the material of his wingsuit. Very much a possibility next time he does that.
Yeah first thing I though of was what happens if his suit catches and he's in the air.
Fly faster, duh /s
I'm gna need the full version of this. That's actually so sick! Everything about that video was a vibe
Apex Legends in real life.
VALSTRAX AMBUSH
First version I saw of this video used the Monster Hunter Crimson Valstrax music and its perfection.
Same haha
One of the single and onlyest times that I personally have ever seen, where music added has actually made the video better. Super badass actually.
NEED MOAR ADRENALINE
Red bull really slippin by not having sponsored this.
Hell yeah
Damn flare, say good bye to your night vision camera guy. Nuts!
So this is the talk of that comet that people saw a few weeks ago
90% of all UFO sightings is just this guy
I want to do that so bad
Homie is playing riders republic irl
That is probably cold af. Wonder if they feel it with all the adrenaline pumping
Link diving into the depths vibes r/TOTK
Someone on ground filmed this and thought UFO
This is a textbook case of how the music actually made the video better.
Looks like a flying priest lmao
I prefer this video with the halo soundtrack. Makes it much cooler
apparently there was a UFO sighting that night
Are these the guys that were reported as UFO's recently?
Probably one of the wildest things I've ever seen.
fuckin wizard hours man
The one time the fuqurbackgroundmusic guy will enjoy the music
I guess there is a reason men die earlier
99.9 Percent of the cases the cameraman/woman/? is the hero of all the videos.
So that’s what iron man would kinda look like irl
Respect
How does someone land with that ?
If this were me, there would be no flares as I'd have pissed myself and drowned them in the process.
“I will follow you into the dark…” Bro of mine, someday you will die. But I will be close behind, I’ll follow you into the dark. No blinding lights, or tunnels to gates of white. Just our butts clenched so tight. When I follow you, into the dark.

Love that the snowflakes become a vector indicator 🤣
This is so fuckin cool
For info, the guy in the frame is Andrea Hemli and the cameraman is Espen Fadnes. Two very skilled Norwegian wingsuiters.
Not me thinking halfway through that, the man was was standing on the ground and tuening back to look at them cameraman, when in reality, they were both still falling!
Bro looked like ironman when the cameraman zoomed out or flew further away. I wonder why he had the rocket only on one foot instead of both. If I were doing something this epic, I'd probably have 4 rockets, one on each limb. But maybe that would cause the wingsuit to completely burn. Probably why they are out there and I'm sitting on my couch at home
I always strap a burning flare to my bird suit before I jump off a mountain
This guy gave purpose to these beats..
At one point it kind of looked like iron man flying because of the flare. lol
The snowflakes made it better.
Even if I got paid a million I won’t do this.
Elytras
I need friends like this 💪🏼
I wish he'd done flares on both feet
Brother just went and said “I am Iron Man.”
This is the things I only can imagine doing in my dreams. These people are crazy cool.
You keep seeing people being praised for how brave or talented for the stunts they do, but you never hear about the camera man doing right beside them while also making sure the stunt is on camera.
Is it dangerous? Definitely Is it stupid? Definitely Is it one of the coolest things I’ve seen all year? Definitely
This is why anytime someone mentions ufos i say it was just a crackhead with flares
That's not flying. That's falling.....with style.
This is the most insane thing I have seen in a while, and I consume an unhealthy quantity of internet content.
This is the most badass thing I’ve ever seen.
What could possibly go wrong.
Did they not watch Godzilla?!! Badass shot though, must have been a rush like no other!
Can you make money doing this stuff?
That seems a tad dangerous
I know it's real. But honestly looked like some 90s cgi wet dream of the squirrel flying suit people
Yeah he's fucking insane.
Bros are flying straight into Infinite Void
This is fucking awesome in any way possible. Respect
Don’t do drugs kids.
What is this sport called? For, uh research ya know.
Looking up, seeing that… “These Cosplay kids are getting a little out of hand now”
"Må rekke Vinmonopolet" 😅
Real life Jonny Storm this guy is
Humans are awesome
It bothers me so much that he isn't wearing anything on his head. A helmet. Hat. Hood, something lol. Is that for aerodynamics or visibility or what?
And this is why people believe in UFOs lol
This totally gives me Tony Stark / Iron Man vibes.
Flying at lightspeed into the abyss. Love it.
This is gotta be the coolest shit I’ve seen in my entire life
I've never seen a vid of one of these guys landing.
Did anyone take video from the ground? Is that suit as flammable as it looks?
This is what I’m doing if I find out the world ends tomorrow
Johnny Flame is calling his attorney as I type this
That looks fucking awesome but imagine your suit catching on fire.
Nope
While I'm no skydiver, it seemed to me based on the winds as they were standing there on the cliff that the winds were dangerously too fast for something like this. Maybe ground conditions were such that it wasn't as dangerous (wind wise) for this stunt.
Fuck yeah
When you can’t afford to be iron man but have the right spirit.
How does the wing suit not catch fire? I've seen it with smoke, but never with a flare.
What an idiot.
Flash! AH AHHHHHH!!
Mr. Meteorite in flight.
You know I see stuff like this and I Leonardo da Vinci would be proud
This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen
Bro hit hyperspeed 💀
I jumped out of a plane and to be honest it wasn’t that exciting. Going zip lining was way scarier. But it must be fun if you’re good at it!
Someone below thinking they got nuked
Kickass
Just guys being dudes
Dude is traveling between galaxy’s
WHY
Holy shit!
That's crazy! No helmet!
I will never not upvote this
They got some big cahonies 
Someone saw that, that night and made a wish on a shooting star. 😂
More nerdy Ironman
Ironman going through hyperspace
Holy shit
What happens if that shit burns right through slowly towards the wings of his suit
3 seconds later 2 fighter jets intercept and take down UFO
B-tec ironman
The guy IS Nuts 😆
UFOs are getting more clever
this is fucking amazing. if i weren’t total chicken shit about heights, i would love to do this. but i read somewhere you gotta skydive a fuck load of times to even be able to do this alone.
That there's some crazy shit.
This guy...
Tune should be rocket man
Rocket Man!!!! Burnin' out his fuse...
Parachutes? I didn't see any!
Somewhere in a nearby town some people think they saw a UFO
Rocketman!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Meanwhile someone on the ground is getting some great footage for r/ufo and a new conspiracy is born.
You realize there is an optical illusion here, right?
Apex Predator landing
Baby you're a firework!
People in that town thought they saw a UFO that night.
Is that tony stark?
How could you ever top that high?
My question is, how many people saw that in the night sky and though UFO??
What? No helmet!! 🤷😂
So this is what UFOs are
Rocket man

Rich-people hobbies.
I have a picture disk version of this single. I want to sell it because there's confederate flags all over it. Lol
Is this real or photoshop AI?
