June 24, 2022. Squirrel Corvid 2 ultralight wingsuit, Stream 2 container, Ibex UL 250 canopy and 38“ snatch pilot chute.
I opened this jump in 2021 and have spent a lot of time assessing the terrain for flight lines and hazards. This was my 15th flight from this exit point and I had built awareness of this line over previous flights. I hiked from the bottom of the mountain starting at 6.30am. 8.48km, 1588m elevation gain and 2 hrs 43 mins of hiking. I picked wild strawberries on the hike, listened to a podcast on wingsuiting from good friends and just appreciated the peace and beauty of hiking alone in nature. On the edge before jumping I stretched, checked my gear and visualised my flight. I then made good use of the smooth morning air and enjoyed a beautiful flight. Flying is how I express myself. I feel no pressure from my sponsors to send it, in fact the opposite. I don't do this for attention, rather I feel self conscious about posting my videos online and don't post a lot of my stuff because of this. But this is me. I love to fly. I like to progress and to showcase what I can do in a wingsuit. Through skills training, gradual progression, knowing myself and my limits I am able to do this flight safely. There is a disconnect between what looks dangerous and what is actually killing people. Writing off flights like this as crazy or unsustainable only contributes to misinformation and making safety worse. While maybe confronting, I hope that this generates discussion about the skills to fly safely in the mountains. I would encourage everyone to fly within their own limits and to be passionate about whatever it is they enjoy in life.
