Came across this while surfing vimeo.com. This is way beyond most of the BASE stuff you'll see out there. A real visual treat. Enjoy.

Its best to click and let the whole thing buffer and load before playing.

That is from IMAX Adrenaline Rush which still is the movie where the highest quality cameras have been used to shoot base. If only they had an imax camera on a wingsuit flyer from the last couple years...

How does having a camera attached to a foot affect flying?

I would put that jump in the top 5. Imax should just go up there and shoot that again with more people. That would be sick.

Am I the only one who read the text in the upper left of the picture CMac posted? Seriously, nobody has a comment, cause that's some funny sh#t?

One, the, um Cumshots Compilation, are those climbers at around 0:30? Blink and you'll miss it, but it looks like there are 3 separate teams there.

That is some really cool stuff.

I found a BASE friend and I bought the GREAT BOOK of BASE.

COOL STUFF.

F*#k you Fletcher (MTucker). I read the other thread and you make a comment like in this thread? I have yet to read any proof other wise. Funny how once Ammon called you out you shut your pie hole, and in the other thread too. And you talk sh#t about Bullwinkle? You're an Assclown

And yet you still dog the question about your real name. You're a joke....Ranger Dick!


The footage of that video (Ready to go) is the best of the best. Those flight patterns are as close as it's gonna get.... could get closer I guess. The nice thing about the first video from the OP is the HD and the music. Beautiful footage of a beautiful sport. How could anyone NOT want to feel that sensation of FLIGHT?

Caught this one on Vimeo recently. The buzzing the tree line part is ridiculous! Maybe CMac knows of this flight path. Serious Sickness.

nice find, matt! That last jump that they play over and over is called Sputnik and is in France. Pretty sure that the creator of "Ready To Go" found it in 2009 and its THE line of 2010.

Well, I just have to plug my own video as long as we are talking about Eikesdalen. That site has been the World Record Bigway jumping site for the past two years (49 people in 2009 and 53 people in 2010).

Also, the fist link is beyond HD, it's about four-times the resolution of HD
