Ever wonder what would happen if you got a large group of experienced wingsuiters together and filmed it? That's what you'll find in the video below, which shows a fleet of them flying in formation. I'm told there were 36 people in total, plus two cameramen, and when they were stacked on top of one another, even in a tight formation, the group was still more than six stories in height. Watch these pilots soar through the air with the greatest of ease and look absolutely tranquil doing it.

This past weekend, BASE jumper Jeb Corliss was in China where he leapt from a hovering helicopter then used his wingsuit to successfully navigate his way through a large cave, and then eventually landsafelyon the other side. When I first heard about this last week, I wondered about the logistics of the flight, which you can examine for yourself in the video below. The cave was bigger than I expected, but this was still a pretty crazy stunt. My guess is now we'll see people in wingsuits trying to thread the

Last week, Russian mountaineer and BASE Jumper Valery Rozov climbed up Mont Blanc, perhaps the most famous peak in Europe, and jumped off the Italian side of the mountain. According to Red Bull , the sponsor for the event, he then proceeded to make an 800 meters (2625 ft) free fall in his wingsuit, before opening his chute and drifting gently to the ground. Watching the video of the jump below, it's clear that he didn't go to the summit, but he did climb a big wall on the mountain, where he finds a small

It has been a few weeks since we had a really cool wingsuit video, but I found this one today while catching up on all the latest news over at The Adventure Journal . It featuresJon Devore and Mike Swanson sailing over some very impressive looking mountains near Monterey, Mexico. As is typical with these videos, the view looks spectacular and the whole thing looks like a lot of fun. Not sure I'd ever have the nerve to try this, but I sure enjoy watching these guys do it. I'm guessing you will too!

This clip of Jon Devore and Mike Swanson flying their wingsuits near Monterey, Mexico, is cool — when it wingsuit flying not fun to watch — but even better is seeing the size and aesthetics of the mountains there. Most everyone kno...

Just saw your awesome video on the gopro site and was wondering how many years of skydiving you did before you started base jumping and THEN, how long were you base jumping until you were getting into the wing suits? My dream would be to base off of a tandem paraglider someday and MAYBE get [...]

I know many of you really enjoy the wingsuit videos that I've shared in the past, and today I've got another beautiful one for you. This one shows some real pros flying in formation above California, Florida, Nevada, and Pureto Rico, culminating with 25 people coming together in a single vertical diamond near the end. Great footage for sure and I still think this looks like a lot of fun! Exploring the Sky - Wingsuit Flying 2011 from Richard Schneider on Vimeo .

Our friend Steve Casimiro over at the Adventure Journal posted another beautiful video today, this time perfectly blending spectacular shots of those daring young men (and women!) flying through the sky in their wingsuits. The video is made all the better by a great soundtrack, courtesy of Boards of Canada, which just sets the mood so very well. With the holidays just around the corner, it's not too late to ask for a wingsuit of your own! Maybe this video will inspire you. Enjoy! Last Walk Around Mirror

With the Antarctic season in full swing, we all know there are plenty of adventures underway at the bottom of the world. One of those took place last week when Russian climber and BASE jumper Valery Rozov climbed up the 2931 meter (9616 ft.) Mt.Ulvetanna in -22ºF temperatures, just so he could jump off the top in his wingsuit and glide back to base camp. The video below captures all the fun, which includes some rather technical rock climbing in very cold conditions.

I caught this video last week over at the Adventure Journal , but forgot to post it at the time. It's a fantastic look at Steph Davis doing what she loves, namely BASE jumping and floating through the air in a wingsuit. What makes this video even better though is that Steph placed a couple of GoPro cameras in some very unique places, catching interesting perspectives of the scenery around her, but also the expressions on her face as gravity takes over. While she has far too much experience at this kind of
