Flying Through A Mountain

[mrjarrell]

Jeb Corliss, the Red Bull flying suit guy, managed to thread the needle through a mountain. Holy crap! This guy's got balls.

This guy has giant...

I want that suit. Awesome video!

That's a pretty big hole. I'll be impressed when he flies thru a hula-hoop stuck to the side of a mountain.

I guess it is kinda cool, but you gotta ask yourself...He made it, so now what?

I googled this guy like crazy when I first heard of him. I saw that he's involved with a bunch of people trying to use their wingsuits to land without a parachute. The implications of that would be awesome!

Beggar's Canyon in a T-16, of course.





........ I'll go back to my nerd-hole now.

Only if he can bullseye womp rats!

 

[Westside]

yeah, but will it blend?

This guy is nuts!! If he manages to live 10 more years he's going to accomplish some awesome things

They're not much bigger than 2 meters.

^^^^^
This above, but a Hula Hoop is too small, needs some wing span to go through.

But did you really see the how wide that was? I'm guessing 80-110 feet wide where he went through, with the proper angle this would be like driving a wide load through an empty Wal-Mart parking lot.

Now if you want to compare this to threading a needle, make this a 10 foot wide, 20 foot tall opening, then it can be compared to threading a needle.

That's not flying. That's just....falling with style.
