Always wanted to do that! Is it true you need to have a ridiculous number of skydives under your belt before you are allowed to do it?

The rules have changed a little since then, both the BPA and USPA (British and US parachute associations) say a min of 200 jumps in 18 months or a min of 500 in any period. Basically wingsuits come with extra complications as they are like flying in a straight jacket.

Flights don't always go as well as that..



The photo and vid I posted before were taken in Northern Spain at Empuriabrava - just 3 months till I'm back there :)
