Wingsuit Ski BASE Jumping
Just got word from Shane McConkey that him and some buddies have been Wingsuit Ski BASE jumping over that last week in Norway. They might be the first people ever to do this. Here is some video from Shane's headcam from a jump two days ago.
Shane describes the experience: JT Holmes and I along with Tom Erik Hieman and Thomas Hesta did some really idiotic and dam fun stuff today. Here at the Griseskolten (sp?) Norway. Tom Erik and Thomas were doing some nice long delay two way straight air ski bases and keeping their skis on. Thomas did something like almost ten seconds. We'll have to see what the video says. JT and I were doing wing suit double and triple gainer ski base to release the skis to fly away. I have to say that wing suit ski base is fun as hell and easy as hell too. Totally bitchen! Here's a little clip of it. This video doesn't do nearly enough justice to how dam fun it was though. Wing suit flying with ski boots on is kinda weird too.
