terrifying.

And that's probably why I liked it so much.

It was awesome.

Don't get me wrong.

Ripping down a mountain in Switzerland, six feet off the ground, almost playing tag with your shadow and then turning around and like carving through trees.

Amazing.

If you want to be, not everybody chooses to fly that way.

And you can have on the exact same jump,

I can think of one very specifically.

It's at the far end of the valley in Switzerland.

It's a four hour hike up and it's I mean, you're getting water and you're in your, you know, canteen or Nalgene out of like these glacially just spouting out of the rocks and there's sheep and stuff.

And, you know, it's like a postcard.

You walk for four hours.

You can have a really aggressive jump on that and fly for 60 seconds, or you could flatten your suit out and just glide and fly for two and a half minutes.

Same jump, different choices.

Not that necessarily flying farther out, you still need to pack your parachute correctly and all those things, but your likelihood of impacting a tree at 100 miles an hour with your face

is a lot better than flying six feet off the ground around corners that hopefully you've done some test jumps on and gotten lower and lower and lower and lower instead of just flashpoint in that thing and hoping for the best as you come around the corner, which people do.

How fast are you moving when you're above the ground?

If you really bend those suits over, I'd say you can get them to about 120.

Face first.
