Urban Wingsuit Flying Over Rio de Janeiro

Mar 182013

Wing suit flying videos are always popular online, but this brand new one that was posted over the weekend is especially magical.

Jokke Sommer and his buddy Ludovic suited up well before commercial traffic started for the day, and jumped from high above the world famous Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro.

As they descended, they maneuvered and navigated through the city’s high rises and skyscrapers to produce a one of a kind wing suit video that is now going viral with over 350,000 views so far.

The video is further featured on DigitalJournal, ABCNews, BusinessInsider, and DailyPicks.

Sky Diving With An Umbrella Like Mary Poppins

Feb 282013

Professional extreme athlete Erik Roner teamed up with Go Pro Camera for a very creative, and dangerous, science experiment. Since the movie Mary Poppins, kids, and secretly adults, have been dreaming of floating down from the skies with an umbrella.

Well Roner finally did. He jumped out of a plane with just a very big umbrella over him to slow down his fall. It worked for a while, but then the cloth gave, and Roner had to use his backup parachute which he was obviously prepared for. All the action was of course caught on GoPro cameras.

When finally back on the ground, he closed with, “You’re welcome science. NASA is gonna be able to use that one for years to come.”
