This kinda makes the mille look like a Sunday stroll :(

What I wanna know is how do you learn to do this? I mean, do you just suit up n jump, or is there some beginner training loony camp somewhere with a big hill covered in mattresses? Whatever, I want a go!
 
One hell of a rush I'd say! Would beat sliding down a snowy bank on one of those gas boards anyway.
That was my first thought- how do you learn? but I guess the type of dudes that do this have been base jumping and parachuting tor years. Still though they are pioneers and in my humble opinion deserve all the thrills and happiness this bonkers sport clearly delivers. Im gunna try paragliding this summer hopefully...I'll probably end up on YouTube for all the wrong reasons ha ha
 
you learn by jumping out of a plane! :))) i'm not kidding, once you've got your skydiving permit (or whatever it's called in the uk) beginners jump out of a plane with these suits on! they learn how they react to direction changes and then go slowly near the ground. starting with small hills up to what you see in this vid! :) my girlfriend is practicing this kind of madness, i prefer to ride hard or go to the shooting range :))
 
That's awesome!

I'd like to see Rossi and Sete give it one last go around in those suits and see who wins lol
 
I bet you could learn some simple basics in one of the skydive training wind tunnels (vertical wind chimney type tunnel)

would love to have a go too.
