You win some, you lose some. It turns out wingsuit BASE jumping can be real monkey business... especially when you have to climb down the tree you just landed in. But I guess climbing down is better than hanging around in a tree swing like this crazy Russian after a dirty low pull.

[Here is the story that came along with this video that was sent to us]: Let me know if you think there's anything wrong with the story behind this mess. Both of these skydivers were turned away at a DZ for wearing a camera with less than 20 jumps each, so they found another DZ that didn't ask. The "cameraman" attempts to backfly on his non-freefly friendly rental rig to "get the shot" of his buddy, which causes a premature deployment. And then -- oh, you'll love this -- his main rips in half, which is promptly followed by a cutaway. I think he's ready to downsize now! What do you think?

Here's a lesson from Bridge Day (1992) on how NOT to jump off a bridge! Tossing the pilot chute between his legs probably wasn't the smoothest move hes pulled off to date. Not to mention cutting away from an 880-foot BASE jump. Then again, what do I know... he saved his own life. What'd you think?

Same turn, same place, same height. Or so he thought. A great comparison of a swoop gone wrong and a swoop gone right. Stupid hurts, but those same mistakes can keep us alive if they teach us something. Live and learn everyone!

You totally made the gates bro... Umm, yeah. Totally. Wonder if he made it onto the table with a score of 1 meter. Either way, Im pretty sure he deserves a nomination to the SoFPiDaRF Hall of inFame - well, only if he downsizes immediately! LOL. Just kidding. Fly safe everyone!

Dont know about you, but Im seeing double watching this video. Double trouble. And not the good kind, like a pair of hot twins in freefly suits riding motorbikes. The bad kind, like when you chop your main and your reserves more twisted up than a pretzel. HOL-Eeeee shit! But at least he didnt land on the roof of a house like this guy.

Ah, the dangers of standing next to the pond on a dropzone. You've got to love how Brent's friend cares more about the video footage than his buddy who just got clotheslined by some A-lines. On the bright side, at least Brent's face wasn't filleted by the lines or the swooper wasn't clotheslined by a wire fence.

Here's a lesson in ground launching. Step 1: Don't do this! Step 2: See step 1. Clearly not the best way to start off a day of speedflying, but despite the minor crash he still managed to brush himself off and squeeze out a few good flights for the rest of the session. Of all the ground launching fails, I'd have to say the paraglider who cheated death in Moab is scariest I've ever seen.

The Wingsuit Drummer has his first parachute malfunction, and a good one at that -- a pilot chute in tow -- which resulted in a delayed reaction, a Cypres save, and an open reserve by 500 feet! Next time, maybe don't wait so long to fire your reserve. Just my two cents.
