Friday Mountain Video
Stunning footage of wingsuit flying over, around and through the mountains.

If it's Friday, which it is - yay! - and we're back from holiday -
which we are, not yay! - then it must be time for the Friday Matinee,
our thinly veiled invitation to you to kill some Friday afternoon
waiting time by browsing streaming outdoors video clips.
And this week, in a thematic sort of way, we're going base-jumping, but
in windsuits, the sort of thing Leo Houlding used to parachute in to
Baffin Island as part of his Asgard Project. Crazy stuff...
To start things off, here are three wingsuit fliers skimming down the
Eiger accompanied by music they clearly nicked from an extreme mountain
bike DVD. With added smoke...
More Frenchness, more astonishing alpine scenery, more smoke and
somewhat predictably more dreadful thrash metal music... But
astonishing pictures.
And one more... this time without the music.
There are plenty more astonishing clips on YouTube if your curiosity's
piqued. One last one though, this is some Al Lee footage of Leo
Houlding wingsuit flying in Brento featuring Leo Houlding preparing for
Project Asgard. More palatable music too...
And that's it for this week. Have a great weekend.
