Wingsuit basejumping, or alternatively known as dropping off an Alp dressed as a flying squirrel.

This is an amazing video - http://vimeo.com/18150336

Nice video. Guess they have a parachute to land?

You wouldn't find me doing that any time time soon.

That really is quite fabulous... just about as close to actually flying as you could get really... I would really love to have a go, but that was very aggressive flying!!! I want one but I think Mrs T might have something to say about it. Thanks for the link Darren, the best piece of video I have seen for ages!!!!!!

Tonks :thumbsup:

The route is almost like a wingsuit equivalent of the Mach Loop :)
