    One of his videos spawned my love for Awolnation. American band, kind of awesome.

    I said I knew someone planning to land a wingsuit without a canopy. He's been beaten to it - Wingsuit landing with no parachute.

    Pfft, he has nothing on Db and his 'para-tree-gliding' :/

    The second person to jump out of a plane and land, without using their parachute!

    Jeb Corliss is a personal hero of mine.

    Google "grinding the crack", and his latest one off Table mountain that near killed him. He flared out but hit a rock or something and broke both his legs and had skin grafts and generally a fairly unhappy time. He is nearly recovered though and back flying. If you are on farce book hit his page because he has some shit hot videos of himself and his mates there.

    Love the wingsuit vids and want to be there. Still...an Aussie died in February this year at Wanaka doing similar stuff. One moment you are skimming over rocks, the next moment

    in one of the interviews he says that he was aiming for the balloon, but it got caught in a wind gust and pushed down and so he lowered his trajectory. He had some fairly horrific wounds: the worst being the shins where they had to do skin grafts and he was in a hyperbaric chamber trying to get them to close.

    He's the man!
