Earlier today, while checking Twitter, I came across a  post from @tonyrobbins that floored me! I could not believe what I was seeing with my eyes when I clicked the link within his tweet. My jaw literally hit the floor and I immediately found myself wanting to participate. Dudes were base jumping off some monstrous cliffs in Norway and were literally flying through the air like birds with the aid of their wingsuits. What are wingsuits? Yeah, I asked the same question.

Wingsuits shape the human body into an airfoil which can create lift. This makes it possible to rip through the air like a fighter jet and break the rules on what is possible for a human to accomplish when challenging gravity. The wingsuit creates the unique airfoil shape with fabric sewn between the legs and under the arms. Ever seen a flying squirrel in action? Well that’s exactly what these suits look like. Anyways, enough with the technical stuff, take a look at the video and prepare to reattach your jaw.

Like Tony said in his tweet: MAKE SURE YOU MAXIMIZE THE VIDEO PLAYER to get the full experience!!
Also, listen for the hilarious expletive S**T at 3:28 – too funny.
