right off the bat, this post has nothing to do with adoption.
so i was reading my latest men's journal, the one with jack nicholson on the cover, and there is an article inside about the latest craze in BASE jumping. it is called terrain flying with a wingsuit. it is wild, and i cannot watch enough of it. they have come up with a suit that mimics a flying squirrel, with webbing between the arms and body, and between the legs, and it allows someone to, well, fly. now, while the laws of gravity still play a part, these guys can fly away from a mountain, actually get horizontal. it is wild. many of them find free-flying out of a plane boring since you cannot tell how fast or how far you have flown, so that is why you will see them terrain flying, which means they get within a couple of feet of the side of the mountain.
check out these videos. i wish i had the intestinal fortitude to actually do this.
