- I think this could be my longest Winsuitbase flight to date... 3min5s flight time! A bit boring to watch but if I could tell you what was going on in my head during this flight (and days) ... It´s a surreal feeling, jumping into that cold north face, leaving the exit at 3700m and flying down to the valley at 800m where it is about 30°C hotter in just about 3min ;)
I jumped in a Corvid2 this time, in 2020 it was the Corvid1. The flight was faster and less exhausting than last time. Expecially the second half felt much more under control although I started feeling my bodyweight ;) Generally the Corvid2 flies more efficient; that means less drag, higher speed, less tiring, better glide in the end... But also knowing what to expect helped a lot: don´t forget to breath ;) and use your energy wisely!
17.7.2022, 13:00. And yes, we called Air Glacier;) - กีฬา
No 360 cam, no fish eye, just a good and simple view. Perfect !
Truly impressive, jumped yellow ocean in 2000 and 2003 and went to do the Eiger on my last day in Europe but got bad weather. This is back when we all jumped slick and in tracky and shorts or whatever. Never would have imagined you can fly from the Eiger to Yellow Ocean. Thanks for sharing, absolutely amazing, beautiful jump
Thx bro, really appreciate hearing this from one of the old gods🤘 rock'n'roll🤘
This was the Majestic flight! Fly Forever Dom! 🕊
Absolutely incredible to watch. Couldn’t believe how far he went. I must admit I always think the greatest thing...after the exhaustion of making it up the Eiger. You can stand near the top and know you can be sitting over a nice cold beer in just 5 minutes.
you nailed it ;) The essence of BASE is the cold beer after the jump ;)
@@DomeWingsuit was there another wingsuit pilot you saw about one minute in? Couldn’t figure it out. You bank to look a few seconds later I think.
Yes, he jumped a couple of seconds before me
@@DomeWingsuit so sad to hear about what happened. I still remember this little exchange. A lot of people saying that he died as he wanted to. Me I’m wishing he was still having cold beers and chatting with nobodies like me. Very sad. I hope it was quick and he was unaware. I’d like to read a proper obit somewhere to find out who he was and what he meant to those close to him.
A watched thousands and thousands wingsuit flights.... But THIS ONE... is the most EPIC I've NEVER SEEN.... Congrats dude. Your flight is clean, safe, and.... Incredible... 10 years ago you 'd talked about joining mushroom to yellow ocean people in BASE' d never believed this is... Feasible... Indeed, with a lot a training, skills, equipment evolution, but whaterever... This is an... INSANE PERFORMANCE.... once again... Congratulations... And keep making nice long flights.
This is one of the best flights I have ever seen!!!
go watch the guy doing flips in the crack with a chut
Magic....no music....just the wind...perfect😍😎
my turn now. i skydived in my younger days but this beats it all. thanks
for the vid.
Sometimes the flights seem so short I wonder how worth the risk it is. This flight was by far the longest basejump wingsuit flight I've seen and seems totally worth the risk
A few years ago, there was 50 wingsuit deaths in 3 months
I have no words…. I’m amazed…
This beautiful planet We live on
This is stunning. I can’t believe this is even possible.
Dom, your work is just splendid. The best, 11/10
What a line!!! ☄️🔥🔥🔥 Lovely!
That is an incredible flight! Wow!!! What a line!
I cannot believe how close you get to the mountainside. Makes my heart drop just watching it.
I had the privilege of being in DeLand at the same time that Patrick de Gayardon was working on the early wingsuit designs. It's amazing to see just how far this has come.
Didn't know him well but got to fly with him there a couple times. Quite the innovator, that man.
That was an incredible flight ! Wunderbaa ! 👏🤙
Well,thumbs up for that one.
Thanks.
Wow! Incredible!! Thanks for the ride along!
Wow amazing man, what a longest & awesome flight.
Truly amazing!
I loved every second of the flight. Thanks for taking me along for the ride. :)
Astonishing. Superb flight 👌
Truly phenomenal!!! And beautiful!
Fantastic trajectory and video quality. Bravo
What an amazing flight! Wow!
Absolutely amazing.
That is so epic mate. Looks awesome
This is by far the smoothest landing I have ever seen!
Great flying and wonderful place!
THAT WAS AWESOME. LOVE IT 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯
This is second time here!
An amazing flight, the transition From plateau to the valley was breathtaking, the ground was coming up quickly then your back at altitude.
Superb as usual!
Insane what a feeling that must give
Nice flight! Congratulations.
In Argentina you have beautiful places to jump!
Thank you for taking us along with you!
Is stunningly beautiful well done mate.
Woow!!!✌👏👏👏😎 Very long wingsuit flying really... 👏👏👏 applause .That was so beautiful :) congratulations turn right and open the base parachute ✌😀☺😉This video is beautiful
Was für ein schöner Flug, Mega, wie schön kann Fliegen sein? Domi, einfach nur Brutal!
Wow man. Blew me away
Different class! What an experience that must be!!!
I love the Shanko version, that I watched probably a hundred times, although this one has it's own special charm ❤️ love you brother!
I should upload another psyversion😆
That was a nice relaxing flight to watch, so much better than the ones where they try to touch the ground.
It's fun cause I was actually at the middle of Lauterbrunnen Valley at that particular time (17/07, 13:00), maybe I saw you landing ! These places, around the three summits, Kleine Scheidegg and Lauterbrunnen Valley, are some of the most beautiful places around ! And flying there must have been outstanding 😯
what an excellent video of an extraordinary flight -- was not at all boring in any way, the line long and risky, the proximity work skilled!!!!!
Bloody awesome, wow.
Awesome 😎, all the best regards from here on the West Coast side of Australia 🌏🖖🙏🤟
Le vol parfait impressionnant...faite attention à vous et profitez longtemps
So beautiful love it
Super bien filmé très belles images merci à vous
WOW!! I got a little queezy when you got so close to those trees but Amazing flight!!
Most impressive one yet
Hey there 😄
So cool, I've been waiting for that video. Still surprised that I finally found out.. the reason:
I'm that guy with the orange paraglider at 00:48
I've seen you and filmed you too.
First time encountered wingsuits and I had fun seeing you guys air to air, we were much closer as the cam shows.

That was superb 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hats off to you sir, well sick.
I did enjoy it. Thanks.
That was awesome man thank you!
Finally the classic dad joke, "I flew here and boy are my arms tired!" actually makes sense.
INCREDIBLE
Ha Ha yes’ Beautiful!
very good! finally LONG flight and FPV! very very good :) Its so uncommon that it feels like render :) good job :)
What a ride Man !
Wow that was amazing!
Man that was totally epic !!
DomE Airlines! Crazy!👍
Отличная работа во всех отношениях!!! Мы летаем вместе с вами и это здорово! 👍
This vid,s got it all.Great,what a day!
That valley is a real beauty.
Wow….if that wasn’t your greatest jump/flight ever,then you missed a good chance..I knew when I saw the length of the video I was in store for something incredible..and you came through big time 👍👍👍
It was incredible! However I just watched the Matterhorn flight down Hörnligrad so this is in my fav top 3 now 😀
It's hard to compare the "best" jumps of the past! I always try to make the next one the best one.... Could be the last one ya know lol😳😆
Fantastic !! 🙂
WoW!! Beautiful💖✨😍🤩🤩
Incredible
So awesome 😎next level human coolness 🤩
Magnifico !!
This is like a drug 🤩
fantastic!
Spectacular !
Insane looooong flight! Ein Augenschmankerl. I thought it was close to Mayrhofen but the cable car is missing...
Boring to watch!?!
A great example of how different two human beings' paradigms can be. I was not bored the first time, nor the tenth time.
Sehr geil! Awesome long flight!!
Thank Jarno!! Tiring! But it was the right day👌
@@DomeWingsuit Its been a jump on my wish list for years, but I think Id crap myself on the last half of the climb 😂
Nicely planned route, plenty of options. The sound on that mike, like an afterburner.
Best four minutes of his life ……….
Sublime
nothing boring to see this video,none birds can do ;)
That was awesome!
Awesome!!
Boring is the last thing that was! More like absolutely astounding!
These remain some of the best content ever uploaded to TH-cam! Amazing flight!
Thx so much🙏
Stunning scenery. It must be so satisfying, after a tough hike up to the exit, to just glide effortlessly over it all 😄
Well it was for sure not effortless😂 but at least the knees don't hurt in the evening 😆
@@DomeWingsuit As someone who knows nothing about wingsuit flying, it looked pretty effortless to me! 😂
@@DomeWingsuit Wait... you walk up? WIth the parachute and wingsuit? :O That in itself is impressive! (I assumed it was helo assisted)
@@philipsquire9056 1400m from 2300 to 3700ASL 😉
@@DomeWingsuit Thanks for the reply. Fantastic video, seriously, fantastic. (and great hike too!!)
I love the length of this flight!! You looked pretty close to those 🌲 though!! Incredible!!
Caught some thermals there😉
@@DomeWingsuit how do the thermals feel? I mean, you don’t lose high as usual. But how you feel it in the body?
An absolutely incredible flight, cannot believe how far you flew and how much wingsuit technology has developed over the years! How many kilometers did you cover? Do your limbs ever feel fatigued when flying, from spreading them out, or does the wind resistance and/or adrenalin help?
It's about 7.5-8km. I did this flight 2 years ago, so I knew what was coming. Focus on breathing through nose, mouth closed, it dries out fast, ideal is a fullfacehelmet. Focus on sound (=airspeed) and pitch and keep on going! It's fckn far😆
@@DomeWingsuit What an amazing insight, thanks Dom.e!
@@DomeWingsuit
Holy Sh-t, dude. Wow. Respect!
Altitude difference between launch and landing?
In traversing above that ridge, were you there to take advantage of updrafts in the manner of other gliding / soaring aircraft? If so, how much altitude can that gain you across that distance?
Boggles my mind I’m even asking such a question. 🤪
@@DavJumps Alright - the vertical speed of a wingsuit, according to Redbull's website, is around 17 m/s.
Ridge lift depends on the windspeed and geometry of the ridge. Though even if all of the wind on an extremely windy day (let's say 15 m/s (24 mph, or 54 km/h)) was directed directly upward thanks to a 90° cliff (which is unrealistic, as the wind would be slowed down by the upward change of direction), you would still not be able to counteract the sink rate of the wingsuit. The wind would be too strong to fly at all if it was strong enough to cause you to gain altitude.
A good thermal can make the air rise at a speed of around 5 m/s, maaaaybe 10. This is also not enough to make the wingsuit gain altitude. Additionally, thermals are usually somewhat limited in their horizontal size, and with a horizontal speed of 50 m/s (180 km/h), you would pass through it in a matter of seconds.
Now, there is one hypothetical way you could gain altitude naturally using a wingsuit:
In a thunderstorm, air can sometimes rise at up to 30 m/s. In theory, this would allow you to gain altitude with a wingsuit. However, as you would be in a thunderstorm, you would be thrown around so violently, that you would most certainly lose control which would make you fall a lot more than you would be flying - causing you to have a higher sink rate - causing you to not gain altitude anymore. Apart from that, the rain and potential hail inside of the thunderstorm cloud would hit you at around 200 km/h, which would, at the very least, be very unpleasant. That is if you survive the lightning strikes. All in all, probably not such a great idea.
Though maybe the thermals directly above an active volcano would work? ;)
@@linuswalden Yes, of course. I suppose to avoid confusion I should have asked “how much altitude loss can be prevented?” … when the point of my query was to learn if he intentionally flew over the ridge (as opposed to further to the right of left of it) to extend his range, because flying through the rising air (if there was any - obviously I wasn’t there that day and can’t see or feel the effects of the from where I’m sitting today) could indeed slow his descent (not aerodynamically, but in relation to the ground inevitably rising up below him).
By “altitude gained” I meant altitude saved.
Did flying over the ridge for as long as he did put him, say, 1000’ (300 meters) higher at the narrowing of the valley, where he hooked the right, than he otherwise would have been taking a different, perhaps more direct path? Or the same path but on a day with less favorable ridge-soaring conditions? Or was he simply flying over it because it provided the coolest view?
I fly parachutes that can keep up (down, really) with wingsuiters. When configured that way, long range is not their strong point. I’ve never had the opportunity to test if seeking thermals could help me back from a long spot when participating in such flights. But when not weighted down, even on a fast descending wing, I know it’s relatively trivial to extend my range (and perhaps lessen the distance I’ll need to walk) by overflying a conveniently placed runway with a baking asphalt surface (for example).
哇噻！好过瘾的样子！👍
Uff.....
Es Suuuperrr......
Genial.....
Thank's. .....
his balls are so big he needs two parachutes! seriously incredible. I could never ever do a base jump but can certainly feel the enthusiasm and rush thanks to this video.
Wahnsinn! Tolllll!
Incredible flight. Corvid2 seems like a great suit. Would be interesting to see you do this in the Glider.
Agreed. Maybe next time 😆 but will be hard to reproduce the atmospheric conditions that day and on a long flight like this, it's the main ingredient😉
That looked totally safe, almost to the point I'd like to try it! I wouldn't try buzzing trees or terrain, 10 feet off the deck, I'd fly like this guy.
If I ever go wing suiting you know I’m screaming VICTOR as I jump off
Oh my !!!! I want to do that someday.
« Hello, Air Glacier? One jumper from Ecstasy Board!
- You don’t need to call us for that jump.
- Yes I do… »
We called actually! But she was business as usual, no problemo from our side👌
@@DomeWingsuit Called for what?
@@sauce1232 to get flight clearance ^^
@@doppelpunkt I didn't know that you have to call Air Glacier. Why them? They have sort of an ATC role in the mountains are?
I use to skydive and have over 500 jumps under my belt. Most of my jumps were in the military (SF) and I’ve jumped all over the world. This base jump is just on an entirely different level and absolutely amazing.
Thx so much man🙏 keep up the good vibes✌️
That’s an amazing flight and a great video-thanks for sharing it. How significant is muscle strength on a long flight and is fatigue a risk that you need to seriously consider (I.e. do you plan intermediate landing areas in case you get too tired to go all the way, or are you 100% confident you have the fitness to complete the jump?).
