[/caption]One of the most incredible things I have seen is
Ueli Gegenschatz base flying along the side of a cliff in his wing suit. The
closest thing to humans flying showing incredible skill and ability. In this
video he takes us through his progression from parachuting, skydiving, sky
surfing and then base jumping, what he called the purest form of human flight.
Incredible visuals and demonstrating how to achieve a personal strategy in an
incremental way.
Sadly, after a BASE jumping accident on Nov. 11 2009, Ueli died in a Swiss
hospital.
This post is in memory of a visionary athletic pioneer.
