I appologise if this is a repost. Came across this clip on a viral website earlier. It looks like pretty impressive flying to me and the dude on the radio sounds stoked. Do they normally get such distance across that Valley?

The link doesn't work, so I'm just guessing...is it 'The fastest motherfucker in the valley', by any chance?

Nope, it's just labelled Birdman.

Go to www.boreme.com, it's under the "Random 10" link on the left hand side of the page.

"Random 10" means just that. It might have been there for you, but by the time I looked it was gone. I think the jokers who run this site move stuff around a lot.

There are two Birdman clips anyway:

http://www.boreme.com/...3/a/m_birdman/fr.htm

http://www.boreme.com/.../a/m_birdman2/fr.htm

If these links don't work, just click the searchbox, type in "Birdman", and both links will come up.

Let's try this again...

Is anyone else having problems with it? It's working for me...

now u can find it only with search (in the right)
search for birdman

edit: and yeah... it`s faster mother in the valley

 

Aha...

Thanks

The first is Fastest Motherfucker in the Valley (Lukas Knutson). The second is from Soul Flyers (Loic).

If you're into wingsuit video, check out the latest stuff on the Morpheus site. There's some video of Robert Pecnik flying the Phoenix Fly V-1 that is pretty amazing.

At the time, this was a groundbreaking flight. Currently, those distances are fairly normal for high end wingsuit pilots (so, about 10 folks). Lukas was a very good pilot. If you search the forums (this one and incidents) for his name, you can find more information about both him and that particular flight.

Blue skies, Lukas.

 
Will do, thanks Tom.

Is this for REAL!?! I'd have to say that is the coolest and most impressive WS flight I've ever seen! Granted it wasn't BASE but still...

It's absolutely for real. Loic pretty much defines "badass" in the wingsuit arena.

 
For more of that order yourself the Soulflyers DVD from http://www.flyyourbody.com or your local gear store.

Like Tom said, Loic's the man and one of the reasons i wanted to fly a WS in the first place.
