Videos of wingsuit flights are never not awesome but this one just might be the best. And it’s not because of the snow, although the beautifully fresh powder helps. And it’s not because Dan Vicary, the flying man in the video, zips around for 5km, although the astonishing views certainly don’t hurt.
It’s because when you’re watching the video, you realise that this is all being filmed by another flying man in a wingsuit. Someone is flying closely behind, capturing every second of this flight.
That someone would be Brian Drake and the camerawork is beyond excellent. Usually, we see the flight from their perspective or get shots from cameras that are far away or have footage that is a little bit shaky, it’s rarely as awesome as this. It feels like you’re flying with him the entire time. Watch it below on EpicTV.
