    This video is hands-down one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

    There isn't a moment of footage that doesn't leave me breathless or agape. I can't say if I'd have the courage to actually do this, but I'm jealous of those that have.

    Hi,

    Having seen that amazing bit of footage will definitely make me scan the sky when I am driving through San Bernadino in a couple of weeks.

    For anyone wanting a go here are the steps required to have a go, not the sort of thing you can do a resort course for :D

    I was glued to those wingsuit videos also, they are awesome! I would love to try to do that too, but no matter how cool it looks I'm not sure if I could bring myself to do it!
    But as the saying goes; "Everybody dies, but not everybody really lives!"

    Absolutely frickin' insane!!! At first I was amazed at their ability to judge speed, rate of fall and trajectory as they skimmed over tree tops, but when one of those guys flew through the gap of those narrow canyon walls, I forgot to breathe.

    Great vid! Good music too...
