Description says: "2nd part: Friends & Soul Flyers". So yes, same guys on the second part.

These guys are sure taking it to the another level.

Another short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBLU9bzGbb4

Where "normal" people have thrown their PC already, these guys are changing back-to-earth and front flipping lol. Some pretty low pulls on few videos.

Re: [ee1] Soul Flyers
Yeah, but the only way to learn to fly like that is to skydive a lot. Skydiving is stupid.

Re: [ee1] Soul Flyers
unreal stuff!

Re: [hookitt] Soul Flyers
DAYS in a tunnel might help too :-D

Soul Flyers are insanely mad!

Re: [ee1] Soul Flyers
I like how much they love what they're doing, every vid has 'em so pumped and yelling with excitement. Makes me wanna get out there and jump even more!

Also, they're phenomenal flyers; huge inspiration!

Re: [dqpacker] Soul Flyers
Probably, but I wasn't serious. TongueI fly in the tunnel and skydive quite a bit.

I think the video is pretty great and it proves how skydiving and tunnel flying enhances your skills, even in base.

Yep. And there's many jumpers who skydives a lot too and can do that stuff while skydiving, but do you see other people doing that stuff in BASE? No. You have to have special skills and special balls to be able to do that.

Re: [ee1] Soul Flyers
Plus to do that, you have to BASE jump a lot, to go along with lots of skydiving, to keep all the skills up. (and tunnel for the precision stuff)

You're also right about ==> "You have to have special skills and special balls to be able to do that."
