Its been a while, but a nice video with the French perspective on the Eloy wingsuit event emerged on youtube last month. It features some nice flying, and lots of Frenchies...
Jeff Nebelkopf of TonySuits posted three new videos on his Vimeo account on his exploits during the 2008 wingsuit season. There is footage of wingsuit flying in Europe and the USA. The third video includes shots from Jeffs backwards facing camera, while flying base on the 71 way wingsuit formation.

The American TV network/station CBS will be airing a show on 'the top 10 shocking health trends' and somehow wingsuits seem to be one of those trends.
Expect a severly biased show, with some old crashes from some skydiving or BASE videos. Maybe even going the completely tasteless route of linking it to the more recent wingsuit related accident at Skydive Sebastian (USA).
Click here to watch a short preview/trailer for the show.
NOTE: If the show makes it online after monday, we'll update this post with a link
Every once in a while some older videos pop up online, and they still amaze you. This is one of those videos definately worth a watch, even though its over a year old.

Back in April 2006, Spaniards Santi, Toni and Alvaro from Project Alas made history by jumping the North Pole in their PF Vampire 1 wingsuits. In March 2007 they repeated this feat on the other side of the globe, by flying their PF Vampire 2 wingsuits over Antarctica.
Sadly the extreme cold froze the still-camera on the jump, but the videocameras kept working. Almost two years late, RedBull AirForce has finaly uploaded a short video of that jump to their youtube account for us to enjoy.
Be sure to check out the Proyecto Alas media gallery for some nice pictures off their jumps into some of the most extreme locations on the planet.
