Perhaps maybe people should ask Go Pro and other companies why don't they use come with wide angle NON Distortion lenses.....but the answer may surprise you it has nothing to do with cost since this would literally be a $5 oem part for them and no one would ever see these ridiculous videos that distort our reality ever again.

But when the camera zoomed in, I could see it was a madman "flying" in a suit with flaps sown in between his arms and legs. I was in total shock and awe! What had I just witnessed!?? I tried to explain it to my friends, but they said it had to be CGI, and I could not find the clip anywhere. Before Google and youtube. Now 20 years later ppl are flying like its normal. Crazy!

While I knew in this video the guy would come out all right, I was of course gritting on how perilously close he seem to each stone wall; how close he was in every moment to orchestrating his own instant death. I would imagine the technology has evolcved in 20 years, and the ability to steer must be part of that. What do you know about that?

Yeah, 20 year old CGI. I don't think so. I was was still using dial up internet 20 years ago. Never the less this wingsuit pastime is crazy.

[@_trbr]

@@kamoterorlCGI has technically been around since the 50s, depending on what you mean by “CGI”. In 1958 Alfred Hitchcock released a film called Vertigo where they used an anti-aircraft targeting computer to create visual effects for the opening sequence of the movie.

[@BenDRobinson]

Yes, progress is a marvellous thing! I was thinking at the end also, the modern steerable parachutes are so good - when you think back to all the poor blighters who had to parachute into enemy territory in wartime with almost no control over their landing, and a good chance of breaking a limb on impact. Now it looks so easy - just pop down in a small field next to power lines and a busy road with complete confidence and land comfortably on your feet.

[@robertshepherd8400]

Watch speed flying with Alexander Mulle. Makes wingsuit flying look like an afternoon at the bowling alley.

[@abelremark7446]

Beautiful place, beautiful day, no silly music, just pure and raw .... enjoyed by the rest of us with a cup of coffee and almost no death threat by cliffs or power lines.

[@nickcaci7238]

One of the best base wing suite video I’ve seen yet. Love to see your shadow of speed track. I can only imagine the climb up was just as challenging along with your partner. ….. go Rocky the squirrel!

[@Broimsatan]

I am captivated. Im speechless... one minute....... ok im watching a second time. This has to be the most beautiful .. The quality and beautiful landscape. Friend i hope i can one day be like you. Im 45. 3 years ago i became disabled with a severe TBI. I sit on a couch all day long from pain, you just inspired me to do this. I dont know if i can but i want to try. I want to love life again and smile. I cant think of anything that could be more positive and something to wake up for. I used to be a professional Freestyle Motocross rider. I want to fly like you again. I know this took you years but i really hope i can do thid. Im in tears right now.. Thank you for being who you are as an inspiration

[@ginamh8276]

Wow! The most incredible youtube experience ever. No talking, no stupid music. Just pure flight, terrifying, exhilarating, amazing. I will never ever do this in real life...but...thank you for taking me along. You rock!👍

[@sierrasix4068]

Watch the Porsche evo hit the German track. It's equally scary.

[@charlesrobert6211]

One of the most captivating videos on KZbin, admire your skill skimming jetted peaks but hit one rock and splat.

[@G.lazaridis1993]

This is just incomprehensible.. realistically the craziest video i have ever seen!

[@dedmouse]

Saw the Matterhorn in the distance...climbed that in 1978 when I was a lot younger, crazier and in far better shape. I would never attempt it today at 68 years old...LOL. The top of the Täschhorn looked a lot like the Matterhorn summit. Good job! Even I felt a bit of an adrenaline rush watching you.

Oh wow, this is really impressive. Aside from wingsuit jumps out of small airplanes (obviously) the highest (mountain) I have ever wingsuited off was about 2.5k meters. I could never imagine doing a 4.5k jump with the typical air and wind conditions that come with a range of really high mountains, on the way down. People probably don't really know how much this takes. Respect

The description is so crazy to me, I never thought about how exhausted your arms get, and I cant imagine the weight from the equipment too. Sick flight!!

[@GetzGoth]

I can only imagine the liberation one must feel from doing something like this but it is something I could never do. I have dreams sometimes that I’m stuck on a high ledge about to fall and it terrifies me even though I usually know that I’m dreaming. This takes a special kind of person to be able to do this. Thank you for the beautiful footage only provided by a very few brave souls. Cheers mate!

Это просто невероятно, даже на доли секунды почувствовать себя в небе как то кому оно принадлежит бесценно. Жаль кончено, что я не смогу не то что прыгнуть также а даже добраться до подобного рода местности чтобы собственными глазами лицезреть всю эту красоту. Спасибо, что даете возможность насладиться тем, что недоступно большинству.

[@Parkerarchitectural]

Breathtaking videos Johannes! I watched all of them :) Im a whitewater kayaker and I plan my route carefully down whitewater sections. Can you please upload videos of your flight preparation as it would be great to see what goes into a flight? Also videos explaining your equipment, chute packing, safety measures and your thoughts during the lead up to a flight. Your deep breathing clearly tells us your focus and adrenalin kick - that really adds to the build up before you jump! But to really take us “with you” please show us the preparation, the planning and build up so, in that moment you jump, we truly understand the magnitude and climax of your sport! Many thanks! :)

[@Imnotplayinganymore]

Safety measures 😂

[@ChristopherOkhravi]

I too would find that enormously interesting to watch. I would never attempt it. But it would be really really interesting to understand the planning process.

[@bruzote]

I wonder if other video resources like this already exist. Anybody? And what about videos planning kayak runs?

@@raphaelwellig5066 Hallo Raphael, mit deinem Abo hat nicht geklappt, KZbin zickt rum. Aber heute bekommt oftmals jeder Blödsinn mehr Aufmerksamkeit, als eine echte außergewöhnliche Leistung. Ist halt Zielgruppenabhängig. Wir haben auch so ein paar Dinge umgesetzt, sind aber i.d.R. nicht alpin unterwegs. Vor ein paar Jahren waren wir auf der Hörnlihütte und wollten irgendwann mal das Materhorn besteigen. Ein Freund von uns war mit Führer zwei Mal oben auf dem Gipfel und meinte das bekommt ihr umgesetzt. Es passt nie in unseren Zeitplan, da die Prioritäten anders liegen. Fakt ist, wir finden Menschen die sich in den Bergen bewegen cool. Das sind immer auch Möglichkeitsdenker und solche Menschen heben unsere Sympathie . Liebe Grüße Martin
