    That looked pretty damn good :p

    I wonder how many hours of practice that is... Way too cool...

    I've seen some total newbies try these wind tunnels out and I can tell you... It doesn't look easy! :D

    It's a 4-way skydiving/freeflying team, and a damn good one, practicing in a windtunnel. Daily life for any freefly team, but most use planes for that, and do these things in freefall at around 150 mph. :D

    BTW everybody can try it. There are windtunnels around the world where non skydivers can fly, kinda like a tourist attraction. Las Vegas has one since many years. http://www.vegasindoorskydiving.com/
    And yes, it's easier if you are a skydiver already. :D

    This was a thing I looked at for a bachelor party a few years ago. We ended up doing something else, but this is the one I looked at in Holland.

    It looks very cool and those guys in the video look like they have done it before ;)
