Simultaneously the coolest and stupidest sport ever. Discuss.

PS: I don't know how to make the Youtube thingy so you just have to watch it on the site.

Yep, Ive seen this video before I would LOVE to try this in my future. Its the closest thing to flying (without an air plane handglider Etc...)

I've never realy known how those suits make you glide so much though. :o

It's similar to why a boat floats on water, it's to do with the amount of air you displace by falling in relation to your weight. Basically the same way parachutes work except on a smaller scale and directly attached to you.

That's amazing. I like where sports are going.

This may very well be the most amazing thing I've ever seen. On my list of things to do before I die.

If you want to see something more incredible than this. It's about Steve Truglia talking about Joseph Kittinger ... Wiki.

Anyway, this looks like one helluva ride. I can't imagine what that person feels like whilst doing that. Zooming down a mountain range feeling like you're flying. Hoollllly shit.

It's so cool, I've seen some ridiculous videos of people doing it like 20 feet away from a cliff, looks so much fun, and extremely dangerous if you're hardcore and stuff.

Huge innovation, and just moving around with it and basically flying would be awesome.

Now GLIDING?? Cool.
I'm not very interested in these kinds of sports though.

OFFTOPIC: btw, why is it tagged penis?

Pirate: That was wicked. That man is an absolute king.

raiz123: It's tagged penis because I knew you would post here being a dick. Oh snap. Nah but I couldn't think of a 5th tag and I hate the number 4.

Love the first sentence of the video. "So we came here to Norway to jump off of some of the biggest cliffs in the world.." Scary as hell if you messed up.
