Very serious endeavor this is. Unfortunately the videographer in this vid, along with 2 others was killed in an accident during a flight like this back in 2014.

You can watch Red Bull completion on TV where 4 competitors at a time jump from a plane and fly around pylons before pulling chutes and landing. My understanding is speeds are between 120-150mph.

Keep your boots dry and your powder too.

I remember when a fur check was reality.....now I'm just trapping for the love of it.

Best Regards,

That looked more like practicing for parachuting, which may be similar, but I think a lot more to it than staying horizontal.

If that was around 30 years ago I would have done it. These days I'm a little too old and not very aerodynamic.
