I am SO grateful that my sister can ALMOST fully appreciate this sport now. After she does her *first* tandem, she will be able to understand why I love it so much. The fact that she said she WILL go and she is excited about it, just thrills me to death!
So, here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxMBCWfDV5Q&feature=player_embedded#!
One of the most amazing things about this sport are the videos!
If you didn’t get a chance to view Courage in Sports which had Ed and the other wingsuiters you missed a good show, check out TIV’s blog:

I am so excited for her. I find myself totally excited for peopel trying it for the first time
I’m so glad you took the leap too! Let me know when you want to come to California for AFF. It should only take you a weekend.
Wow, just wow!
I think the same thing every time I see them. I was under canopy once and one flew past. Scared the living shit outta me!
My sister said something so awesome, “You ever think about wingsuiting?”
I told her, ‘OH HELL NO! that is a world I can’t even imagine being in!’
She then said, “If you’re going to jump out of a plane, why not be wearing a wing suit.”
Good point, but until the day that I can fully master spotting and finding the dropzone during free fall…I will stick to just plain ol’ skydiving. Even if I do master that, good chance I won’t be sporting a wingsuit.
