Wingsuit Base Jumping

This video  shows an extreme sport that many people from around the world come to do in Norway. Generally, these people jump of cliffs with special suits called Wingsuits. These suites have pieces of cloth tied between the arms and the body, and between the legs. Norway is the perfect location for doing these jumps, because of all the mountains and cliffs. Do you think this looks cool, and would you do this yourself?

  1. That is awesome. I would really like to do that. But is that something that anyone can do as long as they have the suits? Or is it like a sport, that you need 'practice' before really doing it? Although I can't imagine how you'd practice for that...

  2. It looks really cool to be able to do that!! Even though I'm not brave enough to do something like that, I'm sure it't awesome to see someone doing it. What is the coolest part about this is, in my opinion, that it's a mixture of windsurfing, and skating, but all in the air!! In the video, you could think that they aren't afraid of doing those jumps, but I wonder if they are.

  3. Wow! That is amazing!! I would be showing off if I could do that... anyway, anything that we can do actually requires a lot of practice. I can imagine many of them actually got hurt from practicing and also, the sacrifices that others have done..

  4. This looks like this would be an amazing experience. It would be really fresh to feel that wind blowing into your face. It would be also dangerous to do that, because you could hit a rock and fall.

  5. I think this is extremely cool. I would like to do, I have always wanted to do something like this, but like Sang Eui said, Do you practice before you actually do it? I guess you need a lot of strength to do this. Imagine the air pressure, it must be really stress relieving. Wow the landscape is really beautiful.

  6. This is a very extreme sport that is both dangerous and fun at the same time. I imagine the experience of it is a one and only experience. But also I can imagine that there has been many accidents and maybe deaths, because of the dangers that is involved with this sport. The people doing this sport are really brave and fearless.
    I, for one, would love to try this sport at least one time. Because its not everyday you experience this sport,.

  7. That looks cool and I wonder how brave the people are. It also looks so dangerous and scary but I want to try it at least once in my life, but not alone but with an expert and under a secure condition.
