Two Nutjobs Wingsuit Flying Between Two Buildings
This is a video of two dudes with nothing left to lose (I'm getting there myself) wingsuit flying between two buildings in Rio De Janerio. Not gonna lie, if I'd been in one of those buildings when they zipped by I probably would have screamed. Something like, "Holy shit, how did I get here? Is it Carnival?"
We did not have permission to fly into the city, but to respect the commercial air traffic we did the jump 05:45 in the morning. The first flights arrive at 06:05
How very respectful of you. Still, what about the early morning workers in those buildings that think they just saw Superman? You left them high and dry. Now when they're standing around the water cooler talking about it later their coworkers are going to think they're crazy. Actually, that's a good thing. If you can't be respected, at least make people uneasy -- a guy on the bus touching my leg taught me that.
Hit the jump for the video.
Thanks to fat piggie, who agrees with a specially designed wingsuit maybe one day pigs really will fly. OVER MY DEAD BODY (I don't really care, I just like yelling).

This is a video of 'shark whisperer' Ocean Ramsey (whose mom is rumored to be a mermaid) swimming with a great white shark off the coast of Mexico. At one point she even grabs a hold of its dorsal fin and gets pulled along for a little while. The actions of a sane person? No... / Continue →
