So been wondering with all the newest proxy vids out how close do ya'll get to the walls/trees/etc.......just really curious. It's difficult to tell ACTUAL distance with the various camera angles. Are we talkin' less than 15ft? 10ft? 5ft? I remember the one where the Russian hit the tree branch, that was a bit close Shocked

Mucho respect to all you guys and gals that pull this stuff off, turely amazing what humans have accomplished with human flight!! Keep up the good work folks!

All of the above depending on which section your watching. Watch it again and randomly pause the video all the way through, gives a better sense of what he's actually doing.

If he is like me, he gets a hard on at the exit point and tucks that shit up in his belt.

So you should know very well it shrinks, and the balls tucks up when you experience fear, so no worry about drag, or touching anything there.

There was video on vimeo where Jokke hit his feet to the ground when flying over ledge. So pretty close I would say.
