What if you make a mistake the first time? 😯
That’s crazy.
I couldn’t help but think…why bother with the helmets? Not like that would matter at 100mph.
I’m thinking this will give Alex his next cache idea…
On the Left Side of the Road...“60 Minutes” did a whole segment on this just this past Sunday, also in Norway. That part where they skim so close to the rock face that they can almost touch it is done so that they can get a greater sensation of speed rather that just going out in mid-air.
Also, the “flyers” hike up to the top. The jump they did for the piece was about an hour and a half hike. Sometimes they take fours hours of climbing for a couple of minutes “flying” down.
Suppose you could put a cache at the top, but the jumping off would have to be just a “suggested” ALR now. 😉

No, it would be a multi. WP1 would be at the top. WP2 would be halfway down and it would be written so you’d see it flying down past the bridge. The final would be at the bottom.
Alex, you listening?
On the Left Side of the Road...Wow…..that has to be as close to being a bird as a human being can get.
I broke out into a cold sweat at the shot of them jumping off that precipice!

But the final would be a couple of hundred feet off, so you’d have to redo everything to check.

THAT is just plain AWSOME!
I’ve seen wind suits before, but never doing anything like that.How soon before someone pastes it and the clip ends up on one of the sensational viral video shows like “caught on camera”? I give it 6 months.
But, I’d still do it once to experience it, though my wife would never let me. I wonder why they never show these guys landing?

Too graphic.

They pull ripcords for parachutes at strategic moments and land just like regular parachuters. Guess it’s not spectacular enough to show (unless the chute doesn’t open).
