JT Holmes flying off NP in Utah
I'm new to the BASE jumping/wingsuit world but got into it cause of work... specifically got to shoot JT Holmes at NP. Weather was really crazy - snowing hard on and off but finally he was able to jump.

Amazing flying by both Julian and JT, strong work. The flyby shot must have been done by some sexy beast, possibly named Matt. Matt is a sexy beast sorta name.

there has been a fatality off that object (#137), so it HAS been jumped. (they had difficulty locating the remains.)

please read the forum rules. we really avoid naming sites.

please read the BASE Fatality List.

please read the Incidents/Accident forums.

it will help you educate yourself!

Apologies - didn't know this was customary but makes sense. Took out NP from title.

Yes - Julian Boulle shot the fly footage and is an absolute professional. He did an incredible job.

Re: [tr027] JT Holmes flying off NP in Utah
why does the end look like an opening from a slider off jump out of a helicopter? and before that it shows footy from the camera flyers perspective, then it shows footy from the ground, and the camera flyer isnt in the shot?

nice flying, but some weird editing towards the end - opening sequence...

Looks like a S Fly wingsuit..

"South wall is the only exit point with enough altitude to the talus not to be considered a technical wingsuit jump"
Can you do it without WS ?

Re: [domek] JT Holmes flying off NP in Utah
Yes, my suit is an S FLY expert. Love the thing.

You know, I have not jumped the South side wall out there, but looking off of it, i consider it a technical wingsuit flight. Sure there is a nice bit of altitude to get the suit flying with, but you need to cover some distance to get to a nice LZ and a crappy flight puts you in a crappy LZ and in a very remote place, any bad landing situation could have big consequence. So that makes it technical in my book.

I love that cliff out there in the Northeast of Utah's Southeast western desert. What a place.

You either need to get a map, a GPS, or stop eating all of those Wild-Flour cookies. Laugh
