Yeah been seeing this one fora while. Guy is pretty ballsy.
I skydive, and my ultimate goal is to progress into a wingsuit. Not even on the horizon, but maybe someday.
That said, I'll never ever come close to that guy....the ground man.....the ground!
I keep playing with the idea of getting the license. I can't imagine putting enough time and risk into it to get to that guy's level though. Wing-suits must be amazing though.
Highly recommend it. Its remarkable how fast you can progress once you commit to it. Fork over the aprox. 1200 for your ground school+ 7 instructor jumps and you can be cleared for solo within a week easily.
From there, $20 jumps and you just keep getting better.

Are you trying to make a point or just general sarcasm?

Crazy indeed. Doubt I'd have it in me to ever do that though.

If base jumping is on your bucket list, make sure it's the last one you check off if you actually want a chance at doing the other items.
