I'm too old for GoPro...

The last couple of decades has given us lots of new technology, from the internet to iPhone porn to Jersey Shore re-runs on Demand TV. But one of the neatest things developed in the last few years has been the GoPro HD cameras, which are used on practically every reality TV show and documentary these days. These miniature wonders can be mounted on everything from a helmet to a ski, and shoot video in a quality unheard of just a few years ago. And let's face it, if you're gonna do something awesome, what good is it if you can't show it off to your friends or the entire world on YouTube?

One of the coolest uses of these little gems has been in skydiving --  in particular skydiving in one of those little squirrel suits and documenting suicidal hops off majestic mountain peaks. Daedalus would be jealous - the concept of personal flight is now available to the masses -  if you have the stones for it. And sadly, at my advanced age - and as tough as it is to admit this - I don't.  I hand it to the X-Games generation though for inventing this kind of stuff. As awesome as flying fighters is, if you're really into flying, this sport would be the cats' meow!

But think of the possibilities if they figure out a way to strap an Aim-9 or a GAU-8 onto those suits...

Grinding the Crack...
Having Ground a few "Cracks" in the day and knowing a little something about this Wingsuit thing...

That guy got a whole lot closer then he intended to.

Watch the video and you will see of his arms and legs extended to the max as he does a 6' pass in "The Crack", that is the equivalent of a Max Pull. Then listen to this quote "Well that was exstreamly close". That is a guy who got away with one, and is happy to be alive.

Glad, I've never been there.!

Actually not. That is what makes life worth living!

Who's with me!

Yeah, but you are dude with tons of jumps - when are we gonna see you strap on a squirrel suit and film it with a GoPro? You're my last hope for this shit because my kids will probably smack the side of a wall if they try it.
