Xtreme sports. 2 Bach

Wingsuit flights 4 ESO

I have flown like that many times, in my dreams. Not from such high mountains as the ones in the videos, just from the balcony on the third floor and I used to land not far from home. It was just to avoid the stairs, I guess. The view was not as spectacular as the ones in the videos but it was nice as I could easily  see the sea during my short flight. Well, it seems I might be able to do it for real soon. I just need some training...
