Really good track & quality.

From the Base Board (http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/board/2898.html):

"Who need wings anyway?"

Yuri says that BASE is dead, and that wing suits rulez. I say who need wings anyway...
Here in XXXXXXX, Norway we got a cliff (off course we do, it’s Norway...) and it's about 450 meter vertical with a 12 sec rockdropp. It has a BIG overhang, and you won't hit the wall before you hit the ground if you tried (no one have tried)
So this is where we come to throw out our newborn, and the recommended delay is about 9-10. So now “the thing” It has a steep gorge, but not that steep. On the 17 of May I pullet 17 seconds from the wall, and then I was really down there. Happily I relaxed with this record, and believed it would stand for a while. NOOT
Stein O. does a leap, and pulls 30 seconds!!! I didn’t believe it at all, but the video from his helmet cam does not lie. (or...)
This jump is without any kind of suit, just plain old Gore-Tex. I am impressed
