That's insanity. I don't understand how he controls his altitude though. He comes *so* close to hitting the cliff sides, trees, etc. How does he know he will stay airborne long enough for some of those routes? And how does he stop? Just bail out in water somewhere?

Crazy shit.

I wonder how much distance he covers in one run. It's so fast.

Definitely has balls of steel. Crazy how close to the ground he goes in some spots. I don't see how he doesnt get blown into a cliff side from a small gust.

In that first video zorthy linked it shows them chute out at the end Gogan.
The dude in the 2nd video he posted has a really interesting interview in the last issue of Playboy too.

One guy is trying to design a landing ramp for wing suits to land in the middle of Vegas.
