Title: And now for something completely different...
Post by: Mk1Macca on 04 December 2011, 11:14
Many of you may have seen the videos I post up of the guys I work with skimming inches away from the rock face as they buzz walls at over 100mph hour in a wingsuit...

Well, arguably the best guy in the world at this is my boss, a guy called Robert Pecnik.

We've just put this interview together with him talking about why he does it, where he see's it going, and an interesting story about his hamster when he was younger...

Check it out here, it's quite interesting, even if you're not into the sport :)

I have two jobs, magazines between 9 - 5 and marketing for a company called Phoenix Fly for the rest of the time. I also teach people how to fly the wingsuits and become wingsuit instructors, as well as R&D jumping prototype suits etc.

To fly a wingsuit, yes. You then have many years, and many, many more jumps in wingsuit and BASE before even attempting proximity flying.

Hmmm, if I had the money, I'd love to do something like that, but watch this vid a few times a week instead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaMTSOI1Zk4 The music & Bruce Lee quotes fit nice too.
