After the tragic first day fatality, the world's best wingsuit pilots decide to fly on in the memory of Mark Sutton.
Following Mark's death, close friend Tony Uragallo retires from the sport of wingsuiting and Carlos Briceno bows out with a hand injury but the other wingsuit pilots continue to fly in Mark's honor.
The group head into Switzerland to fly Dent de Morcles, a mountain that has never been flown before. But with a tight landing area, power cables and a valley prone to wind this will not be an easy ride.
What happened next, shown in this video, was what many of the wingsuit professionals described as "the flight of their lives".
HeliBASE 74 is a 4-part web series launching Wed, 25 September with new episodes every week. For the final episode in the series, check back next week at www.epictv.com

My friend, everyone watching this is part of the UNIVERSE - the difference is that you're willing to risk becoming part of the mountain and for that we salute you.
What an incredible feeling that has to be, to literally be able to fly like an eagle down the slope of a mountain and soar over the trees. Incredible!!
awesome footage guys... keep it coming... love this stuff !
In a world of special effects and amazing (real) effects/events, it's harder and harder to find things to take my/our breath away...thanks!
OMG!!! Amazing, brought tears of amazement to my eye! I stopped breathing
this has to be one of the greatest human experiences...
This has got to be the most dangerous thing I’ve ever seen. One tiny mistake or misjudgment and instant death. Unbelievable to watch though. These guys have balls of steel man.
Gongrat Guys!!! Awesome footage and performance!
how does this not have more views? such an amazing video and channel!
¡bien Jhonathan! ¡Super chévere! Emocionante de verdad.
At over 150 MPH , amazing to watch, these guys have passion desire ,accomplishment & incredible nerves of steel
The filming from their helmets & the heli are stunning/ spectacular/awesome/ scary and super beautiful. I love watching the Art you All Create
Grazie, Danke, Obrigado
This is just amazing
This is mastery.
This is dream. This is reality. This is wingsuit proximity flying. GREAT!!!!!!
good job guys!!!!
WOW, these guys, are in search of the great adrenaline rush. I was always a risk taker, but they are Awesome. RIP MARK SUTTON 🙏 GOD BLESS
Beatiful dangerous sport. Good job men!
Love this HAte back ground musc love sounds of wind
Could you please redo this with louder music? I can still just about hear what the people are saying in this one.
You're supposed to be playing Pink Floyd's 'Learning to Fly' to all wingsuit videos. Mute the actual video and let Floyd take you.
LMAO 🤣🤣
Best sarcastic comment of the decade 👍👍
I don't think the point of the video is to hear them talk, it's to watch them fly!
the frame changes so quickly. let me see more!!
Simply superb
Is there a way you could upload the uncut Raw footage of this if you have it? Your videos are great, dont get me wrong. I would like to enjoy this awesome footage without the interuption though.
This comment exactly. +1 sir.
Yes, I am almost always in the mood to watch only the flying. If I want to watch an interview, I will look up interviews.
Couldn't agree more. I feel like uninterrupted, continuous videos of the flights would get 100% more views. How do we know how long the flight is if all we get is 3 second clips???
I just opened the comment section to make this comment
Feel part of the universe, and can feel part of the mountain too 💥
Nice work
Love this stuff wish I was 25 again. Great sport
Warren Blum you could prob do this when you’re 50 .. would make more utilitarian sense too given fewer lost years if you die
jsquire5pa Somebody 70 could do this.
Amazing
Pioneers!
It's quite sad watching videos like this and seeing some of the pilots which have died
Manofiron norifonoM Try being their mates. It sucks sometimes.
Good flight
locos admirables ,mucho coraje y control mental felicitaciones¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Always enjoy watching wing suit flight, good luck to you all, daredevils!
2 have died since this video was made 😔
@@rogueplanet13 3.
Amazing incredible
Wooow beatiful!
The moment you look over and watch your friend crash, you feel lucky to share that moment with him/her.
IT is just a truely magical moment of your life, just before the grand finaly when you go a bit closer to the floor and - -- wooooops, crash and gets killed.
- the best day in your life when you die crashing a wingsuit at the same mountain as your friends..
Keep it up guys !
( but fly safe ! )
Sure miss alot of people GBNF💔😞😇☀️
Grats !!! GB Awesomeness.
esporte puro !!! não maculado pela presença das mulheres !!!
5:00 Amazing the way he pitches up and stalls out. For a moment he's hanging there, then he drops.
Jhonathan Florez. He's dead now as well as Ludovic Woerth, and Dan Vicary.
@@farzana6676 wow.
@@icwiz Wingsuit Proximity is not conducive to a long lifespan.
@Earijee All died in separate wingsuit incidents. Usually misreading the terrain or taking the wrong line and smashing into the ground at 180km/h.
@Earijee Ludo Woerth was wearing his Red Bull helmet and camera on 29 March when, along with two other well-known members of the global wingsuit community, the Swiss-based New Zealander Dan Vicary and the American Brian Drake, leapt from a helicopter above the Lütschental, a valley in the Bernese Oberland about 40 miles south-east of the Swiss capital, Berne. Vicary and his wife Lisa ran a BASE-jumping equipment store in Switzerland, a magnet for extreme sportsmen from around the world. One behind the other, the three men jumped from a helicopter at 2,750 metres for what was planned as a 70-second descent.
Witnesses said they appeared to misread the contours of the land and found themselves over a high Alpine meadow without enough elevation to make it to a steeper downward slope. It was not clear whether they had time to deploy their parachutes but even if so, it was too late. Woerth and Vicary were killed instantly while Drake died in hospital four days later.
Some 160 wingsuit pilots have been killed since the sport began.
when they are moving that fast so close to the ground that must be so much fun
Those high voltage power lines are freaky.
Everything here is scary
EASE UP ON THE SOUNDTRACK MATE
No shit- its too hectic!!
It seems 1/4 of the guys in that crowd is not alive today....as of 2018
Did they discuss which wanted the others to jump the next day after they die... instead of having to assume?
Really? Oh no, that is sad to hear 😢
@@aquamarine0023 Jonathan Flores, Ludovic Woerth, Dan Vicary and others are all dead.
Yeah the lethality of this sport comes from a very dangerous formula
Young(invincible) + cocky/arrogant + extreme risk taking (x) adrenaline junky = short life
@@tectonicD but it's gotta be a dramatically greater life than most who live to be 100. I mean you feel like your flying! Man has dreamt of that for 1,000s of years. Anything worth doing is going to have a risk involved. I'd rather die young doing this than to spend my whole life playing it really safe and sitting on my couch all the time trying to be the safe guy. The difference is, not everyone is scared shitless of death. Some people don't care. Sure you don't want to die, but that's something that even the safest people in the world CANNOT escape forever. I would much rather live while I'm alive than to just safely exist. Fuck that. Death doesn't bother me. I accepted it a long time ago and I truly believe that when your time is up, it's up. Nothing I can do to make it longer, I'd rather die doing something bad ass like this while I experience what it's like to really be a man than I would to have a heart attack sitting on my couch scared of everything. Imagine if everyone was too scared to sail across the ocean or to go to space. Where would we be?
Capture this in 360 HD on ur helmet and others can then experience this virtually. I hope I can fly with you "virtually" one day! 👍👍
QUE VELOCIDAD ALCANZAN APROXIMADAMENTE CON ESTOS TRAJES.......??? ES INCREIBLE ESTE DEPORTE EXTREMO....!!!!
Good job men.
comes out this week i think
Bravo! Si eu vreau.
trop bien magnifique
That's pretty much the closest to becoming a bird soaring through the wind. To me, that was the ULTIMATE !!
It might be the closest, but it's still far. Birds don't kill themselves when flying...
I think i have a man crush on Jokke lol, that guys awesome!
You are men of the sky you chase the wind god bless you all
indiana146 half are dead today
the helicopter ride is the most dangerous part
тут он еще был жив...и счастлив...
Gentlemen...Mount Mitchell. The tallest mountain East of the Mississippi River!!! Over 6000 feet above sea level!
150+ miles/hour . . . literally yards above the ground, midway . . . WHAT A RUSH ! 😎
Paul Suprono: In planes it has its own problems. Along a beach 200 spooked seagulls can suddenly rise up. Or a stand of trees in the foreground won't really stand out against a background of trees. A powerline across a river is easy to hit. Even a 20-foot wooden windmill can surprise you. And even with no obstacles, within minutes it is hard to concentrate enough. It's mentally tiring. It can be interesting and exciting, but it's hard to keep doing well. There are other things in flying are also fun & satisfying; danger isn't the only source of excitement.
I've watched these videos, and although I sympathize the loss of your friend; I always ask myself, "Is it really necessary to be that close to the ridge of trees and mountains?"
it's their own fault
I hear ya but...that is, after all, what gets the adrenaline pumping for them. And us to to be honest 🤷🏻♂️
It is how our brain works and also the wingsuit’s nature.
Brain:
Gives you a sense of control and it surely must feel magical
Wingsuit: Ahh, the most intriguing part
Wingsuit flying is a VERY technical sport because our size to weight ratio is very inefficient for flying, neither did we evolve to fly. So we have zero senses efficient enough to help us gauge variables for flying.
Flying closer to the terrain (Not too close obviously, Like Jeb did in Table Mountain) gives you a sense of speed visually, you will also know that you’re flying properly altitude wise because just imagine flying more flatter away and above the terrain and suddenly stalling your wingsuit, which is the last thing you want, also speed is your friend. To gain speed you have to have an aggressive angle of attack thus, resulting in a “proximity flying”, which in turn gives you a good amount of adrenaline dump.
Tl;dr
More speed you have, more lift you have. (Flaring technique will make you gain altitude by converting speed into lift)
The flatter you fly, faster you die.
It's called Wingsuit Proximity flying. The whole point of the sport is to see how close they can get without dying.
Always. Proud. N. Amen. All. U. Vanz
It will be awesome if they have a 360-degree camera and I have a pair of VR glasses.
Is this the same as jumping off the roof with an umbrella when I was 12?
Two questions.
1) Do the pilots have anyway of measuring their airspeed other than just feel?
2) Are the pilots able to ride the ground effect close to the mountains?
Ground effect only happens in level flight, at half your wingspan (or lower) above level ground. Totally impossible with current wingsuits.
I been in the alps. Good point on the dangers I'd never do it. Also alot of the mountain farms have very long cables (perhaps unmarked) that carry milk down and supplies up. Be knowledgeable of such terrain!
Wow
Don`t you use the Hero 3+ with Superview ?
You should try high fiving a branch. That'd be awesome 😂
Any footage of all the fatal crashes or does the camera get smashed up? Such a waste of good cameras.
Balls to the walls . . . such a suicidal 'work of art' in navigating the skies . . . with manufactured wings !
Rasanya pingin mencoba...
Why is it important to do this next to a mountain? Genuinely curious.
What's with the parachutes?
Thought you'd land on roller blades/skies
😂
Damn you guys are rad a'f!!! Holy shit
These guys need attention
how do we begin this ?
اشي جد جميل
очень красиво и очень опасно!!!
What music where they using at 1:27?
Very brave people very dangers 😬
RIP Jhonatan Florez
Sad to see some of them have also died since. Very unforgiving sport.
howo357 we should be so lucky to die doin what we love. Pretty sure they had no regrets.
I kind of glad none of my friends are doing this.
One slight miscalculation, and then, "SPLAT!!!" His dream is my nightmare!
Way to catch some 'nar' bro!
Ya a a a a a a a a a 'NAR'
Hi did you know that The first toy wingsuit is out! ....The Super G Wingsuit toy!
I imagine it has been thought of already but on the wingsuits couldn't you attach a lanyard to your hands that when you pulled it, it would open up a pocket to fill with air, thus maybe giving some type of lift or actually slowing your decent even more, if you could have the bag shaped in a certain way, and or maybe several differant one to fill with air then close you should be able to create some type of lift, with the freefall speeds taken in and added in maybe giving some more control or slowing the decents, the bags would also be able to be deflated if needed, it seems like some engineer with time on his or her hands could figure that one out. Maybe operated based on heat and wind speed, you could try to catch a thermal and maybe actually rise instead of fall, Probably already thought of though, just curious, base jumpers be safe i love watching, i am not brave enough to do though.
Damn man, did you just invent the paraglider
Next time add volume to the music for more drama ....
I wonder if anyone has ever hit a bird before
What if sometimes goes sand ij your eyes and u have to touch your eye with your fingers that could be dangerous 🤔
What is the name of lady that appeared at 2:51 ?
Noe that's whats called living
круто!
Doesnt a gopro adds a lot of drag for such a small "wing" surface? About time these guys get a more "aero" camera.
اتمنا مثلكم الله احلي حيات الله يحميكم
Say what you want about their insanity. Cheating death with every turn. But one thing is undeniable. These men have experienced the closest thing in existence to flying as a bird. Incredible. Awesome. Inspiring.
Absolutely not, birds can soar up. And that you get with a hang glider!
Looks like man love is in the air. I like the feeling of a machine wrapping around my body.
i wnana do that
Neck tattoo and eyebrow ring. Guy is clearly grounded in reality.
THESE GUYS (PLEASE B SAFE), HAVE A SET OF BALLS I CAN ONLY WISH I HAD!!!!!
No matter how skilled they are there still seems to be a slight element of danger to this sport which never quite goes away.
"slight"
Why they always fly so close to the land?
they start flying far from the land.. but then there are drug addicts that started on canabis
Jonathan Flores RIP
I want to know if they ever swallow a bug while flying
