Yup.
BTW, in the balloons bit, according to the uploader on youtube he's doing 122 mph horizontal speed (!).

This is still the plan right? I don't think he gave up.

Re: Wingsuit Base Jumping

A British guy just made the first ever landing without a chute using a wingsuit.

Landing in a field of 18,000 cardboard boxes certainly counts as an asterisk right?

Re: Wingsuit Base Jumping

That flying through the banners is just insane. It looks like the glide ratio on these things is still improving and the camera works getting better too.

Man, I want to do this more then ever now! You have to do something like 250 jumps from a plane first though, imagine the cost and the time involved, sigh.
