Thanks Gec,

Reminded me of the old Burt Lancaster movie from the late 60s. He also used a wing, but not like these, in the end he thought he could fly and took it into the ground. I made two static line jumps along time ago, what surprised me the most was how quite it was when coming down, must be a rushing sound with the suits.

Wouldn't have the nerve for this but it does look excillerating, is that a word.

saw something like this on a television program a while back...it was a small documentary about a group discussing how one of the guys brothers was killed when he clipped a cliff face on the way by...

hmm... interesting enough is that Robert Pecnik has a brother that fly's with hem but they are both alive.

Thanks Gec. I have seen vids like this before, but nothing as crazy like this. Absolute stunning vids. A split second wrong decision and they are "in remeberance".
