i couldn't find the news clip. i saw it this morning. these are all older clips. he does spins and turns now. it was crazy.

Oh wow thats freakin awesome reminds me of that old show i used to watch called Goldar. wicked stuff thats for sure Peace

That's incredible. Looks like he is using miniature turbines like they use in remote controlled jets. Thanks for sharing that very cool!

yep, 4 of them. i really wish i could find that clip. he was doing banked turns and spins and leveling out and cruising up. it has no flaps on the wings. he just leans into it and flies.

I purchased a wing-suit a year ago to fulfill a void in my skydiving life... and actually met this guy on one of those trips. I'd buy one if they weren't so big and lanky, hopefully given a couple years research they'll develop one much more compact. Until then, my wingsuit gives me the exact same freedom, just a lot quieter

Another extreme hobby of mine, basejumping... the first fella gave me an idea if he can smoke that cuban on the way down and if anyone can translate what he's joking about at 1:50 I'd be happy!

Hah, my nuts will squash his nuts! Like I said, if they made one that was actually compact and didn't take up a whole 206 cabin then I'd be all for it... I'd like to see that guy come to some of my favorite spots and jump, guaranteed he'd piss HIS pants. Sketchy exit points and wicked winds don't hold me back, I'm with stupid!

I will take the jet pack over the funny bird man looking suit any day... =]

I wonder what kind of flight time he gets...

If i had the cash this would be my next hobby... =]

Your fly time is only limited by the amount of fuel you can carry... =P

To each his own... I'd rather have a flightsuit on than strap a heavy fuckin' wing to my back with jet engines... limited by fuel anyday. He runs outta gas and he falls with only his parachute to back him up, I glide with the wind and up the thermals... totally free, not using anything but what nature gives me. I've flown for 30 minutes plus just using wind currents and thermals, I'd like to see anyone do that with what he uses. Plus, his product is at least 5 years away from public hands... what I do, you can order a suit off the internet, jump off a cliff and be on your way today! Everyone does this sport for a different reason, mine is to be free... I don't want jet engines blasting my ears out or worry about how much flight time I have with 10 gallons of Jet-A. His invention is HEAVY, don't kid yourself... it's unpractical for anyone else right now in time except for him.

P.S. Parasailing is badass!

I wish I could flap my arms and fly
