120-150mph forward speed.
Phoenix Fly is coming out with a new V5. Suits are tested in wind tunnels ect.... there is a science behind what the manufactures are building.
The last 5-7 years wing suits have exploded with technology making lines like this possible to fly.

Yeah Reilly, that would be ideal in theory. The problem is reaching back and being able to get to the handle of your pilot chute, 100% of the time. It only takes a few seconds of not being able to find it that will get you killed.

Yabo, Jr.!
Yabo must'ave had an Italian gf (or brief encounter perhaps) bitd, and this dood is the result, eh?
Regardless, he's definitely Stonemaster material, imho!
Thanks for sharing!!
edit: I've been watching this guys (Alexander Polli) proxy flying vids for the last year or so...doods on a mission.
"Stonemaster material" - just sayin' that he has his sh#t together, has paid his dues, and is fully committed! (&, obviously, bold)
Over 6 million views in just 4 days...WOW!
"Yabo, Jr." - or perhaps Tobin. Whether it was soloing the NF of the Matterhorn etc, or smuggling Bibles into Bulgaria, TS was definitely fully committed.

Sometimes I wish I wanted to die that badly. He's probably got an inside track on the afterlife.

I hear you. He said in one of his videos he expects to die everytime he goes out. I guess I don't know what that means - I wish him luck......it's completely entertaining to the rest of us though. Don't do it for us, though, Mr. Corliss!
That's an awesome video Splitter. Looks like the world has moved past bullfighting!

MN - I hear what your saying also. What impresses me is the level of his passion, commitment, and boldness. It's admirable and unique, imo! I guess I was also envisioning what could be done with it in other fields of focus. Like I said, Tobin Sorensen comes to mind.
