IGOR on the EIGER A trip to the Swiss Alps, hike and climb to the Eiger mountain and Base jump out of famous "mushroom" #Eiger #Switzerland #Basejumping
I'd be totally the opposite. Climbing UP the thing looks insane. Proximity wingsuit flying is slow suicide, but what these guys did is pretty benign. I like how the White Spider zips by like it's nothing. All that history passes in a few seconds.
@@mqbitsko25 and what a history, Mickey. The North Face holds so many epic stories. No matter how many times I read the account of Tony Kurz fighting for his life it always brings a tear to my eye.
*Mute sound at **0:25** and enjoy the video!* 6+ years of comments: 1 person liked the music. EVERYONE else hates it. We hear Igor yelling while still in the air. So you could have recorded the natural sound for the whole flight and used that instead. Or if you recorded the natural sound for the whole flight and still have it, you could replace the music and re-upload.
There's two things i don't get. First, why do they always start out flying so close to the cliffs instead of out in the open air? And secondly, why do they pull their chutes so early?
@@MagicalMomentsinBASE Thanks for your response. I suspected there must be something about flying closer to the cliffs, but wasn't sure. So that's why I asked. Wish I was young enough, or I should say...less broken, because I've always wanted to go hanggliding. But this is a thousand times better than even that. As far as pulling the chutes in order to jump again, that's another reason i was asking. It seems they have a lot of time after the chutes open before they land on the ground. Having never had the experience, nor the knowledge, I do understand that you have to open them by a certain time for safety reasons. I didn't realize that safe height was so high. Is that the correct understanding? Thanks again.
Video is Beautiful. Music sounds like a constipated 5-year old, who overdosed on sugar and got hold of one of those toy keyboards they sell at kid's stores. Next time, have an adult provide music, maybe?
Why taint the video? Yer not gunna be able to please everyone with any type if music. Just go a-la-natural. If I want music on any video, I just mute it and will crank on my choice. Still awesome video, though.
