High Eiger 2 Grindelwald Wingsuit Flight
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 08. 2022
- Every Eiger Experience is a surreal sensation ... having a plan the night before, being excited, nervous, getting up early, paying and taking the gondola, hiking, climbing and scrambling up the West Face for hours and jumping into that cold North Face, leaving the exit at about 3700m with your buddy and your wings on and flying down to civilisation, back to Grindelwald. Up there the wind is blowing, it ´s cool, even on a hot day like this. Down at the landing you start sweating and people come to you and start asking questions - Where do come from? Did you jump from the Eiger?? - as if they´d never have seen a wingsuiter before. And all in a sudden you turn into an Alien, asking yourself wtf am I doing here?! - or into a Rockstar and rock The Show. Depends on your personality I guess;)

I'm a thrill seeker too, I sometimes go down the stairs and dont hold the hand railing, just for the rush
My hand slipped off the railing once, but my reserve second hand caught the other side wall to steady myself. This video is incredible, though.
@@truck57us thats terrifying !
Exactly. Two years ago I was a fool, didn't have full light or hand on the rail. Crashed and took full impact on inside of left knee. Bone is still healing. It's beautiful what these guys can do but I don't know how they take that step off the rock, especially the first time.
@@judil3294 Ugh. Hope you fully recover. I wouldn't even get up on the mountain to that rock :)
@@truck57us Thank you, it's slow but getting there. No way I'd be out on that rock either.
Finally, one without music, just the raw sound. Never change that.
I once ran while holding scissors.
Simply magnificent !
Thank you so much !
With all the crap that's going on in the world this is so pure and breathtaking !
Absolutely made my day 😊
я придумал крыло глядя на этих ребят оно кладывается за спиной стоит вертикально вверх рычагом раскрывается и вторым рычагом выходит в полетное положение с хвостовой балкой и оперением размах 12,5 метра площадь крыла 7,5 метра квадратных качество 30 мин скорость снижения 0,5 м с можно парить и набирать высоту а этот вид спорта чем вы занимпетесь для экстремалов
One of the best wingsuit videos. Behind this 4.42 minutes act there is years of practice and hard work. Thank you for sharing this.
That was nuts, in a good way, balls of steel!
I'd stop at, "That was nuts".
This was definitely one of the more scenic wingsuit jumps I've ever seen. And there are a lot of really beautiful wingsuit videos, so that's saying something.
Very cool to see the geography from this perspective, what a view!
That flight was phenomenal! Seeing other guy edge up to the take off point before jumping was interesting and provided some great perspective and also made my palms sweat!😄 The terrain you were flying over was spectacular too. Absolutely brilliant.
@Peter Lancaster not quite the same tho is it
until some swiss farmer hears a thud and has to call the police to get your corpse out of his bushes
My mum used to say to us as kids, ‘If your friend went and jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?’ What can I say?
Underrated comment.
🤣golden!
Yeah, why not?
This activity is beyond breathtaking. Absolutely beautiful.
Absolutely amazing, I can't belive how brave you guys are. Superb video.
I'm just blown away that such a beautiful place exists. The whole thing looks like a Windows XP wallpaper. Man I need to travel.
Incredible video.
Correct. Get out of that awful country you're in. This is Switzerland.
Ive been parachuting twice,but what you guys do is terrifying!! Awesome!!
That was incredible to watch! I guess it's not hard to understand what an adrenaline rush is and how it might be addictive. My heart was pounding when they were creeping out on those rocks to "take off" and then it was just crazy to think what that might be like to feel the air rush by and such a quiet perfect ending! Thanks for sharing it with us!
this was amazing, at one point I thought you were going to hit the rocks but you pulled up and glided over it, totally crazy 👊🤘👊🤘
Как здорово и красиво! Лет 20 назад я бы тоже смогла, экстрималка тоже была. Теперь тетя с различными страхами ( Спасибо за видео
Absolutely amazing. Thanks for the ride!
What a tiring journey uphill for that couple of mins flight! And to find that lone rock to dive! Its incredible 🥰🥰
That's extraordinary. I know people do things like this (obviously), but I can't imagine myself having lived a life that would lead me to the top of that mountain, to jump off and fly. Awesome; in the sense that I am full of awe.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Ein schöner Flug über unsere Schweizer Berge. Schönes Video von oben das ich eigentlich nie sehen würde weil ich ja gar nicht dort hinauf gehen würde. Wünsche viele schöne und unfallfreie Flüge😎👍
WOW 🤗🤪 thank you so very much for sharing yourself and your time with ALL ❣️ What a phenomenal experience
Thanks for the vicarious thrill ride; one of the best wingsuit jumps I've viewed!
Speechless...again! What a mountain - what a flight!!! 💚💛🧡
This is both insane and mind blowing at the same time.
The ultimate "leap of faith."
Great video giving a taste of the adrenal thrill of your very brave jump.
Awesome filming, thanks for sharing
bro is living life to his fullest 🥹
Such a long flight. Looked amazing!
Quel bonheur cette vidéo. Superbe le son du vent sans musique. Merci Monsieur de me faire partager votre passion
What a wonderful journey, thanks !
Flying legend! Would really like to see a video of you about you're preparation into a flight! (location, weather, hike, wingsuit, equipment ect..)
Yep..I’d love to know how he gets to all of the starting locations. I’ve always guessed that helicopters are used quite often
Yes that would be great.
This is what I want too
What preparation? When you have balls the size of watermelons you can literally just wing it. Ask me how I know.
@@CoIoneIPanic Me how I know?
What an absolutely _gorgeous_ jump. The beauty in this part of the world is just unbelievable. RIP Dom
How did he died
@@lash5613 Why dont you take a guess....
@@SG-ek2zw i just cant put my finger on it.....
@@lash5613apparently he did a corkscrew manuever then he flared which caused further deceleration and then he missed pulling his parachute twice before on the third time pulling parachute cord but it was too late
@@lash5613 He died because he was unsafe. Its about calculations. Both beforehand calculations and during... and its was while in the "during " part Dom was Dom and fucked up pushing the edge of his limited abilities. He did it to himself so I have little sorry nor pity.
Man that was FANTASTIC thank you for this… your flight so close to the rock face is mindblowing please stay safe
Speechless...again! What a mountain - what a flight!!!
Wow, absolutely breathtaking! That's so amazing and exciting! Full of adrenaline rush!
The adrenaline rush must be something else. A lot of skill.
Totally amazing.
Absolutely mind blowing!! What an exhilarating thrill that must have been!
Spectacular! In my seat - I find myself involuntarily swaying and tilting my head to the terrain contours and angles. At 70, I'm a tad too old for this, but hey, as you grow old, the risk goes down - you're so near death anyway :)
From a fellow septuagenarian I am in total aw of these young men and their exploits. The biggest rush we kids had in the sixties in bonny Scotland was rumbling along the pavement on a pair of roller skates.
8 billion on planet your 1
Do it ….. you do you will be remembered for a lot longer then going the safe way
Waiting ……….
I did my last jump on my 60th birthday. We are NEVER "too old". Life is too short anyway. Blue Skies !
Do it. No one gets off this rock alive anyway. If you botch it up your as#hole will be through your pie-hole so fast you won't even know it. Worse ways to go.
Hi, most of these newer sports weren't even conceived of when I was at age to participate. When you make that last and final jump. I am sure to be somewhere in the landing area. Look me up ! Best wishes.
Man my palms were sweating just looking at your amazing and very brave feat. Stay safe and thanks for the ride.
You must always stay home 🏡
Amazing glide ratio on these new suits. Great jump.
the moment they go..awesome!. great vid
See, now if Clint Eastwood's climbing team had been outfitted with wingsuits, at least two of them would have survived... That was a beautiful ride, though. Thanks for the video!
I did a tandem skydive once in 2008 and I’m terrified of heights. I’m really surprised I never passed out. This is on a whole different level. My heart is racing just watching this.
Most people think they are terrified of heights, when in reality, they are actually afraid of falling from those heights.
@@fordmustang5856 No, they are not afraid of falling from those heights, they are afraid of dying from those falls.
@@fordmustang5856 That's right. I am not afraid of being high. What I am afraid is falling from that height.
I did a tandem skydive in 2001, and also believed I was afraid of heights… but fordmustangs comment was right, it’s not the heights we fear, it’s the thought of falling from the height…. My fear was conquered after the skydive….. for some years.. hahahaa. It’s back again, guess I need another jump
Yeh, the guy was so close to those rock walls during the flight.
The landing was smooth, magestic and glorious
Skill and guts in equal proportion on display.... Scary is an understatement... Congratulation and bravo!
Like a young bird in a nest, and the realisation one can fly. Beautiful.
Actually...he is falling..not flying. Look for Paragliding videos if you want to see actual flying :)
I can feel I've lived a full life without having ever done anything as potentially deadly as that, thank you. It was interesting to watch, but you can have it.
100%
This is nothing. One time I went into a Democratic convention with a MAGA hat .
All with one leap,Life's slows down, buddy system with love. Amazing
I used to skydive ( too old now ) but I find myself twisting and arching to maneuver like you while watching your videos ! The reflexes are still there, lol .
Would have loved to fly with you...
Красота ❤❤❤ по этому я завидую птицам! Такие видео заставляют удивляться тому что для нас давно привычно
Happy August to you Mr. Dom and safe skies to you as always!!
Epic. Thanks for sharing
Just stunning and incredibly brave! OMG!
That was very beautiful...😯 Eiger is brutal massive . Very beautiful flying grinding the rocks ... top landing!✌😎🙃👏Your videos are very interesting .Awesome
Thx viktor
amazing flight, perfect landing, beautiful place. Thanks for share this, sir.
Beautiful scenery
This sport is amazing! If you pratice it smartly it looks like the most critical part is walking on a ridge with legs tied one to the other.
Sport?
And lethal. Some of the most talented people in wingsuit proximity flying have died or been badly hurt, not to mention the reckless novices. There are just too many variables that can mess up even routine jumps no matter how good or careful you are.
@@ratioscientiae1922 wingsuiting out of a plane is actually pretty safe
proximity wingsuiting down a mountain? not so much...
Glad to see the experts have arrived
@@ratioscientiae1922 Your assessment is not fully thought through. In order to fly a wingsuit safely, you have to understand what is involved, how the equipment works, what the risks are, how to mitigate them etc etc, and you have to decide what level of risk you are prepared to accept. This is *exactly* the same process as you go through in a glider or a powered plane and the number of variables is actually significantly smaller - the only difference is the nature and scale of the various risks. Even quite risk- averse people find that wing-suit flying is available to them.
I used to skydive before the days when wingsuits started being used...jumping out of an airplane was scary enough for me. I would have been petrified long before I ever climbed up and out onto that rock you launched from. Nice video BTW!
Hello from Canada. You guys are nuts!! I mean that in the most complimentary and repectful way! Thanks for the ride!!
Just gettin there is a rush. I bet you guys feel released once off the rock an into the air. Great camera work an thanks for taking us with you.
Be safe be lucky an be well
For me personally, I really enjoy your videos and appreciate your time and effort and not to mention the monetary aspect.
You are very experienced, noting atmospheric conditions and taking the time to read proper lines, hence that your still doing well.
Do you ever feel that after so many successful jumps that you need a more adrenaline rush and the need for more of a proximity flying experience?
I hope not and I really appreciate your candid responses to viewers
Thanks for the ride. Absolutely amazing.
I'm gonna try this one day... but not until I'm in Heaven... when I'm in my incorruptible body!!
Of course, by trying it now you may get to Heaven sooner!
@@nowisthetime7461 True dat!! LOL!! 😂
What a flight! What a landing! Two thumbs up!
Thank you! That ride was fantastic! 🎉
The way you located your friend and landed next to him? Very impressive!
Wow..that landing was just perfect. Wondering why you guys hug the mountains...why not just glide into the valleys to avoid potential striking of rock!! Schweiz looks superb....what an amazing country. Grindelwald is one of my favourite places.
Updrafts
What an inspiring video,I have no words... great!❤
Beautiful
I wonder if you'd share some of the details, such a altitude at launch (AGL and MSL), the glide ratio of a wingsuit (and some salient factors - I'm guessing mass of the flyer matters, and presumably the wingsuit must be tailored to the individual), the airspeed range and best airspeed, expected range, who makes wingsuits, and about how many people participate in the sport. Thank you. Absolutely gorgeous video !
Yes. Any additional info makes it even more interesting.
Wow. Man you guys are very brave. I don't like heights but my dream is that one day I'd be able to do a parachute jump as a personal challenge. The views of that sunny mountain are just incredible.
I jumped about 20 years ago. My only time. It was a static line jump from about 3000 feet. I was hanging from the wing strut when my instructor told me to go. I was petrified but let go. I experienced an adrenaline rush that lasted about a week. Once was enough.
@@willisknapick4405 Very similar experience here (In San Diego), except about 40 years ago. When I 'let go' and began to fall all went black for a few seconds. Then line twist. Naively (ignorantly?) I thought the parachute would spin around to untwist the lines. Nope. I spun. That was cool though. It was so quiet and the feeling was unlike anything I'd experienced before that I momentarily forgot about the instructions on where to steer: I kept going away from the landing spot until I finally remembered --oops, other direction. Then I began, slightly at first, to play with the 'brakes'. That was a blast. Alas, I kinda panicked on the landing as I felt like I was about to go backward at about 3 feet off the ground, so just released the brake and crashed to the ground. :} Nothing hurt but my ego.
what a beautiful ride ..........
Such a beautiful landscape.
I don't know man, but these videos get me on the edge of my seat every time asking the same question: "what madness drove them there?"
Loved it!
Respect from Russia!!! Incredible video! Crazy flight! Респект из России! Невероятно крутой полёт!
Absolutely stunning.
Holy nuts. This is incredible. Top
I'm still feeling an adrenaline rush from watching this. What blows my mind is, there's a point where, no matter how experienced you are or how confident you are in your equipment, you still have to, you know, JUMP OFF A MOUNTAIN TOP! These guys get credit for the sheer b_lls to even contemplate doing something like this.
what blows my mind is: at one point they did it for the first time. without any experience.
@@chrstianiaVictory only accompanies those who dare
Reminds me of the joke: "Do planes crash often?" "No, just once."...because I'm curious how you practice for this sort of thing (j/k).
Amazing!
Tem que ter muita coragem pra praticar esse esporte top 👍👍👍🇧🇷
Solo es que te querrás morir ahí no hay margen de error. Si fallas te mueres.
Ребята у вас стальные яйца! Я лёжа на диване боялся зацепить скалу! Удачи вам!
Это цветочки. Глянь клип Шарон ден Адель и Говарда Джонса.
unbelievable yeah man great
that looks like the most amazing experience ever
That's what it's all about right there! Incredible ride.
I must ask though, how do you maintain your glide ratio while flying so slow. Or does it just look slow to my untrained eye? All the wingsuiters I ask say "speed is life" and "flat flying kills." It looked like at 2:35 you had almost stalled the suit on purpose when making the turn.
Upstream wind currents from the face of the mountains means you have more hang time, the wind was very strong and flowing in the right direction, this was almost perfect conditions.
@@horyzengaming3935 Thanks. Dang, you have to really know the micrometeorology of the area.
How do you learn to do something like this? I have a hard time imagining how someone who had never used a wingsuit would practice this. Also, how do you get to the top of the mountain/ledge? Do you have to carry all that gear up and leave a bunch of stuff at the top or do you actually climb up there wearing that suit? I have so many questions!
You need to head to a drop zone and become a licensed skydiver and then do 200 jumps before learning to wingsuit. You'll also need to learn to base jump which you also do after 200 skydives. For something as advanced as this video will take hundreds more jumps if not thousands.
very nice!
Superb! Very smooth.
It's so cool to be able to watch this knowing full well it won't be my head that turns to spatter when someone hits an object. Brave souls.
Perfect !
I know these guys have at least a few screws lose in my mind but the video was fantastic .... Amazing ... The landing was the best landing I have ever seen .... Nice job on everything. It doesn't make me want to do it but I have respect for those who do.
Thanks for this flight - you guys great by doing this
INCREDIBLE FLIGHT! KUDOS!!!
bloody hell amazing skill !!!!
Incredible 🤩
Damn, that’s radical. For most of the video, I’m like,”Go left!”
Simply AMAZING!.
Great video for something I wouldn't try in my life.
And its good to see you survive.
Give a like and thanks for uploading this.
I'm sure it's one effing rush... fantastic and amazing!
Wow - great video. We love Grindelwald and especially the Eiger, although I've never jumped off of it (and at 72 am unlikely to do so...) Thanks for posting this.
