As a former aircraft mechanic and flight engineer, I know how critical weight & balance is. With that in mind, I'd love to know how these guys maintain level flight while compensating for that massive set of balls.

Hahah, nice Eddie.
This shit gives me the chills.
Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
I've been skydiving too, and bungee jumping. My plan is to learn base jumping and wingsuit "flying" when I'm older and retired and I no longer care too much if I live or die. At least I'd go out in style. Mid-air heart attack or crash.
Eddie, i don't think they maintain level flight, it's just the way its filmed relative to the slop of the mountain.. you're still losing attitude all through the jump as i understand it (not an expert so don't quote me on it).
I've also looked into this. I think you have to have done 200 skydiving jumps before they'll let you start training to use a wingsuit. At least in the US.

Sick!
Imagine getting a cramp mid-flight...
Imagine if you were on board the bus the fly bus...
Amazing. I've been skydiving but I would never have the balls for something like that.

I've bucket listed this.
LOL. I hope it's the last thing on the list. Just sayin'.

Great resume builder to buffer up your "activities" section.
very cool....

These wingsuit videos are boss. I just wonder how long it is going to be until they have to hose one of these guys off the cliffside.
how are they able to fly so close to the ground for so long?
however they do it, the scariest part for me would be being so close to the ground - you nick a rock and it'll cut your dick off.
its not the ground, its the side of a cliff... at least that's what i can make out from the table mountain part of the clip.... still insane...

This isn't something you can bucketlist. This is something you have to quit your job and pursue almost exclusively. Insane.
