Title: Speed Flying?

I gotta say. This is definitely on my bucket list:

Anyone heard of it, or done it? Apparently it's much, much more dangerous than it looks.

I personally think that the wingsuit is more exciting a run, though that's far more dangerous than what you've got up there. Still, very neat. It certainly brought a smile to my face. :)

I'd still like to have a shot at hang gliding in Arizona... 2,000 fpm without an engine is probably the most thrilling thing I've ever heard of, ever.

I think I'd try hang gliding, or perhaps even skydiving, before that. :X  Looks quite fun though!

ed:  Yeah, after watching more of this I think these guys are just begging to break their legs.  :shaking:

Or their necks.  At least the video was pretty.
