In September 1997, i was doing the accelarated free fall course in Tallard in the Alpes. It was my 5th jump. Patrick was beside me with his wingsuit in the Pilatus. He said to everyone "the whole left side of the road is for me, you all stay on the right side" Lol He looked at me with a big smile, wished me a good jump and then a bit later, jumped off the plane. He was such an inspiring and friendly guy. I was so sad when he died a year later... Rip Deug!!
I built him his Vector 3 prototype in the very early days of V3, when he would come by RWS and hangout. RIP Patrick, you were a good friend and one of the best of the best!
I had this DVD good stuff, it was awesome, know of Joe Jennings and Patrick degayardon very well, followed these both on sky TV watching them on x games, boards over Europe, boards over Switzerland Skysurfing events and world air games in Efes Turkey in 1997, was heart broken when I heard my idol Patrick had died in Wingsuit accident.

One of the reasons Im trying to post these updated versions, is that skydiving (and wingsuit in specific) doesn't have to many people aware of its rich history, and pioneers. A lot of newer jumpers are not aware how long wingsuits have been around, and who took those huge first leaps. Patrick was an inspiration and one of the main strong shoulders our sport is built on..
@@mccordia As a newer jumper, thank you for restoring and sharing this. I'm currently not anywhere near being allowed to fly a wingsuit, and likely won't be for quite a while, but I only even have the option because of people like Patrick. It's crazy to think that almost all this history has occurred within my lifetime (born 1998). RIP Patrick, thank you for being a pioneer of this sport and the nucleation point for thousands of people fulfilling their wish to fly.
Very cool. I don't feel like its all that much clearer than what I have on VHS (Good Stuff), but made me break out the old video to check it out, which I appreciate. Nice one Jarno! Thanks!
What a beautiful tribute to the pioneer of wingsuit skydiving! Well done Jarno!
Thank you

Toute mon enfance et adolescence ces images !
I remember his last day. I was down at the hangar at Dillingham. Made a few jumps with him. RIP.
God bless Patrick my friend. R.I.P.
Great job Jarno! Beautiful

Jarno this is beautiful! Thanks again for bringing it back.

@@mccordia Patrick was a Pioneer and all round nice guy. He pushed the boundaries of our sport. RIP.

Side by side on a TV screen, the difference is quite huge. But never hurts to pop in the VHS for some quality retro entertainment!

If I remember correctly, didn’t Joe Jennings shoot this from a helicopter?
Yea gyro stabilized helicopter mounted camera with a very long telezoom lens :)
Era un volatile.. non un essere umano... pazzesco
