  1. How much more freefall time do you get with a wingsuit in skydiving? from 10000-15000ft?

  2. maybe double to three times on average, could even be more if your really good

  3. Yes, I do realize that.. I was just saying that I thought the suit would be more stable. Not talking down on the dude for his first go, i thought he did a great job.. just figured the suit would be more stable out of the box.

  4. He’s got it ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. nice

  6. its cause the guy flying sucks..

  7. Finally I can feel like I’m flying, Chronicle style!!!

  8. Is he not learning? Is that not the idea of this video? You can’t just be pro straight away.

  9. Where is this training centre?

  10. Jewbacca Bin Laden

    Song?

  11. Is this Barney Stinson???

  12. I did. I fell back on the couch and i’m going to sue you.

  13. great job!!!!

  14. wouldnt get very far anyway, my roof is only like 18 feet off the ground

  15. Wow very fun

  16. try this in the sky

  17. Of course it looks easy. The cat has a ton of chute jumps before anybody will do wingsuit training with him. He’s not a first jump freak out. And it’s a really good first flight.

    HOW MANY PEOPLE NEARLY PISSED THEIR PANTS DURING THIS VIDEO

  19. Then try it.

  20. I know, that shit is brutal financially. Actually, I began AFF to get my skydiving cert. first, which you may already know that’s a must. Then, I believe most drop zones require at least 200 freefall solos before you can even attempt wing suit classes. I did 4 solos and hit a financial hill myself and have not yet completed AFF. Suck, man. But priorities are priorities. Cheers man.

  21. kiss the guy, by shawn lee

  22. thumb this shit down

  23. He’s no Jeb Corliss ๐Ÿ˜Ž

  24. It seems that his buying wingsuit is as buying skisuit! BRAVOOO!

  25. 18 x 3 = 54. That’s how far you’d get with a good wingsuit. Though you’d smash into the ground on the 54th :<

  26. German Military Power

    he looks like Barney

  27. I wanna see James Bond in one of these..

  30. at least 500…

  33. @slex scholte: You need a parachute license, at least 200 jumps and “good tracking skills”. The last one should go quite without saying if you’ve done 200 skydives, but it’s worth to put a focus on tracking dives when “gathering the jumps”. The more tracking experience you have, the less trouble you’ll have learning to fly a wingsuit.

  34. How do I get into this type of thing? How much training does one need?

  35. #HumanBeings – so very primitive, but damn! such potential for greatness..

  36. what’s the title of song?:)
    Please tell me :D!!

  37. That is not a bad thing. Jeb is a loudmouth yank ๐Ÿ˜‰

  38. Wish I could do this it looks beautiful ๐Ÿ™‚

  39. Hit the parachute kinda early

  40. NPH….IS THAT YOU?!

  41. รฝ bung san ny thanh nhฦฐ

    the birds =) hahaha

  42. That’s dangerous!

  43. He will be hurt lol if he hit the ground hard

  44. Do your arms get tired holding them in that position flying?

  45. I want to fly above a city screaming ” I’M BATMAN “

  46. German Military Power

    Barney stinsonยดs brother o.O

  47. @skillerdoom8 it feels like your floating

  48. Whatยดs the Song in the Movie?
    Itยดs awesome!!

  49. That is so cool. Were You afraid?

  50. such a new perspective

  51. once in the air, the air flow on the suit does most of the work

  52. check description..

  53. Its a feeling u cant exaim its like idk u cant exaim it Youre free in the sky You feel like ur live is endless or something during the freefall

  54. not really it is still very tiring but because the adreneline rush you do really feel it until later of when your on the ground think about it theres approximately air rushing at around 120 mph past your body the forces exerted and quite large your conteracting these forces and it is tiring the same as any extreme sport

  55. feels awesome just by watching it damn, imagine doing it , shit thats scary!!

  56. use open parachute and go slowly : !?

  57. Where is that school located i wan to go

  58. amazing videos

  59. I must do that when I grow up

  60. California, Skydive Elsinore

  61. you can tandem in floriduh at 16 wiff maw and or paws release signature, so come on sukka let’s go!

  62. That’s what I was thinking. Maybe they told him to since he wasn’t very familiar with the wing suit. I feel like he could have gone at least another 1,000 feet though

  63. Hey Barney Stinson went skydiving =)

  64. Looks like a chick on it’s first flying lesson. Interesting.

  65. Buckyโ€ขJaKRBT

    Icarus would be proud.

  66. why your legs went up simetimes in the video

  67. Wow its kid icarus

  68. @FocusOM: Unstable flight due to imperfect body positioning. It’s his first flight course (FFC) so it can’t be that perfect. What you’re seeing here actually looks quite decent for first flight. Flight will become more stable as the pilot progresses.

  69. Santa doesn’t exist kid. C:
    *childhood destroyed*

  70. SWAG POINTS +100 SW

  71. Long-Dong Cornichon

    Lol the guy looks like Barney Stinson xD

  72. how much does it cost for all this? do you need parachute experience?

    and if the gear can be rented out …is it safe to use rentals???!!!! ahhhhhh

  73. i want a wingsuit

  74. It takes about an hour of instruction if you’ve never jumped before. You can rent everything right there at the dropzone (that’s the parachute place at the airport) and it costs only about $50 until you buy your own gear and then it’s cheaper…

  75. Im only 10 CAN I DO IT?

  76. NO YOU CAN’T GO BACK TO SLEEP

  77. Tushant Mirchandani

    I’m curious… Is it possible for anyone to manoeuvre a U-Turn to glide towards opposite direction than the one they began with? Also, at what altitude is switching to parachute recommended?

  78. JUST GET TO THE FLYING PART

  79. but we can go to food and sleep ok and no fly

  80. Where and how did you get a flying (squirrel) suit? I want one SO bad!!!

  81. Whats the song in this video?

  82. very carefully.

  83. Just go and get yourself 500 skydives and you’ll be allowed to fly one. Or 200 jumps in 6 months)

  84. proximity flying is the shit

  85. If you ever want to fly one, be ready to pay atleast a total of 8000 dollars before you get there.. : /

  86. kiss the sky, by shawn lee’s ping pong orchestra

  87. Is it hard to fly with a wingsuit?

  88. i like the part where they explain how to do it.

  89. me to me to

  90. FlyingPancakeSauce

    I have a horrible fear of heights, but this is one of my biggest dreams

  91. Directions wern’t clear enough I didn’t learn shit.

  92. amazing….!

  93. lol

  94. Thats amaziiinnnggggg,i dream of trying this

  95. Christian Server Gaming

    Woooooooooooooooooooooooow that’s cool I coud do that win i am. Bigger

  96. me too! let’s go together! HAHA I get goosebumps just imagining how amazing this feels ๐Ÿ˜€

  97. You don’t have to wait, I’m 16 and im doing this in 1 week ๐Ÿ™‚

  98. I always wanted to fly.

  99. title says “How to fly a wingsuit”. Yes i will fly it as soon as i finish making mine.

  100. how much does it cost all in all?

  101. @jackm6487: There are no drop zones in the UK? Wtf?!

  102. @jackm6487: You don’t have to go that far, you can definitely do it in Europe. For example, I’m from Germany, we have about 90 drop zones here and most of them will offer AFF (which is the recommended training method nowadays) training and also wingsuit FFC. In the UK there are supposed to be about 30 drop zones. Head to “dropzone.com” to locate them and then contact them for FFCs. Even if they don’t offer FFCs, you can accumulate the 200 jumps there, then head to a different DZ to do the FFC.

  103. @jackm6487: Great to hear that. I’m dreaming of doing this (flying a wingsuit) for over four years now. Unfortunately, a friend of mine had a jump gone bad. He’s not injured or anything, but nonetheless I witnessed this and it got me completely “blocked” psychologically, so I don’t dare to sign up for AFF anymore (did two tandem jumps though). I definitely need to get over this “barrier” somehow, but it’s so f*cking hard. My plan is to get some tunnel time so that I can try some stuff out.

  104. I remember watching this video before I ever did my first skydive

  105. So happy i live 30 minutes from elsinore xD AFF and FFC all in the same place! talk about a Home DZ!!

  106. Nice flying

  107. This guy looks like neil patrick harrisย 

  108. One day…

  109. oh shit its Darren! that guy is cool as hell

  110. That looks solo fun

  111. Wow…. I learned so much!

  112. MrWithnailJRjunior

    just need to know where the pull cord is imo.

  113. One day….

  114. HEY . JESUS IS COMING SOON GET READY FOR THE GREAT JUDGEMENT DAY , JESUS DIED FOR YOU TO

  115. This bitch is very lucky

  116. Just wait seven years till I can do this

    • You do know you need a C-License (200 jumps) before you can put a wingsuit?

    • +Cesar Villarย How expensive is that!? Until you can fly with a wingsuit

    • +Vadimvt1ย I’ll try my best to give you an estimate on all my expenses. I spent about $2200-2500 just getting my A license. This includes my Instructor Assisted Freefall (IAF) program, solo & coach jumps. After that I bought my own gear and spent about $4000-$4500 because it was used I actually saved almost $4k. A jump ticket is $25 so you can sort of get an idea of how much it can cost. A brand new Wingsuit can cost up to $1500 but again newbies get it used and save a few hundred dollars. Hope that helps, Blue Skies!

    • +Cesar Villarย Thanks for replying! That is quite a lot to spend on! But then again, you could pay as much for golfing as for flying a wing suit, so i’d know what to choose ๐Ÿ˜‰

  117. i realy want to know the songs name

  118. oh its in the discription lol

  119. thx for the music description ^^ so good this voice damn 3:D

  120. it is a phanton 3 in this video?thanks

  121. criston haywood no you cant, you must have your Parachutist license before you can fly a Wingsuit

  122. do you need a parachute? im pretty sure ive seen people do this without one

    • Yes you need how else you would land but you also can land on water but its high risk

    • +Uliquiorra Schifferย big-ass pile of cardboard boxes like that british guy did…

    • No. Parachute is optional. u can inhale nd fill ur lungs then blow it out as hard as u can right before u r about to hit the ground. u ll be fine.

    • +Sushant Arora your comments are stupid dude… its not that dangerous unless you are proximity flying. you have more control than regular skydiving. dumbass

    • +Su Sang : Yo dude, that is exactly what I told my wingsuiter buddies before I got into wingsuiting, however, after my first wingsuit jump I realized I was so wrong.ย 
      Agree, with wingsuit you have more control w.r.t RW jump, but that does not necessarily makes wingsuiting more easier/safer than RW jump. Line twist + PC hesitation + wonky openings aren’t very uncommon with wingsuit.

  123. How you

  124. how do you know when to pull the parachute?

    • vฤrds uzvฤrds

      +Zeppin but wold it bee so bad if he puled it later ore earlier ?.
      i mean if you are not just 5 meters above the fround before you pull it sholden you bee fine?

    • +Astrid MC BOSSย I’m by no means an expert on this subject, but I THINK.. first of all the parachute has to have time to fully open and I then of course it reduces the speed you fall.

    • +Astrid MC BOSSย Also I think the minimum height of opening a parachute is like 100feet but that sould be as close to suicide as it gets apparently.ย 

    • +Carl Deaton there is a device name “audible” in your “helmet” it beeps when correct altitude. than you know you have to pull.

    • U r suppose to plan the opening altitude with your group on the ground. This is a skydiving parachute so its takes around 600 – 1000 feet to fully inflate it and ready to fly (Although it varies based on what parachute u have nd how its been packed) and base parachute takes around 200 feet. Minimum opening altitude according to USPA is 2700 feet, however we generally aim to open it a bit higher for safety reasons. Q. Would it be bad to pull it later or earlier? Yes. Later: u r risking ur life and the life of the one who is flying his parachute under ur freefall trajectory, earlier: ur opening altitude was decided on ground so the guys flying behind u are assuming u will open on planned altitude. opening it early may result in them flying into ur back @100+ miles an hour and results may not be very pleasant. Hope that answers ur question. blue skies.

  125. nice

  126. on my bucket lists as soon as I hit 18-21 or during college. without parents ofc

  127. omg I got it

  128. i didn’t know, barney stinson did wingsuit-jumping… legendary.

  129. Put a wheel on head and knee try landing like f18..

  130. I believe I can fly…

  131. Alright now time to go jump off a building, I know how to fly

  132. i am also intersted inwingsuit jump plz tell me where i can do it and how

  133. im going to take this videos advice and make my own wingsuit and jump off my roof ! ๐Ÿ˜€ this is going to be so great !

  134. Imeanwhateverturnsyourpotatos intofrenchfries

    coolio

  135. did we have to pump air into wingsuit

  136. Can you get lift in a wingsuit? or can you control the rate of fall in one? can someone please fill me in

    • You get lift, you fly horizontally like a bird, of course you get lift. Just controlling your rate of falling depends on your angle of attack and speed.

  137. what are wing suits made of???

  138. cool, awesome…

  139. MC hammer pants…

  140. Dang, that looks like fun!!! Where do I sign up?

  141. ู…ูุณู„ู… 01101100

    Awesome ?

  142. i thought that looked like Darren instructing…
    great video

  143. right got that out of the way -time for some proximity flying

  144. what’s the track?

    • I know it’s part of the tales to the borderlands soundtrack don’t know the exact name of the song though but you could just look up the games soundtrack

  145. LateNightLosers 420

    Where can I go to start this process of learning

    • LateNightLosers 420 most drop zones will teach wingsuit flying once you achieve your solo license and have 200 jumps in your logbook.

  146. Fucking sick definitely needa find the closest place to Louisiana so I can try this out

  147. First; where is this place?
    Second; what type of wingsuit is that?

  148. Tales from the borderlands 2nd episode XD

  156. Ferris? To get my 200 free falls prior to wingsuit training, how many can a person get in per day ? Thanks!

  157. This video had no information whatsoever. If you like annoying music then this video is for you.
