Wingsuit flying BASE jumper acting as a flying carpet for a skydiving canopy flyer in Romsdalen valley, Norway.
In August 2014, Team Betsafe’s Espen Fadnes made history with Bjørn Magne Bryn by performing a solid connection between a wingsuit flying BASE jumper and a skydiving canopy flyer for more than 20 seconds. Project Romsdalen was made possible by two months of intense preparation, location scouting, timing calculations and numerous jumps and skydives.

If you are scared of heights then look away as now as this nerve shredding footage of a a wing suit rider jumping from a mountain needle is sure to induce some sweaty palms.
Filmed on a GoPro camera attached to a helmet, the incredible footage shows the adrenaline junkie standing on a tiny platform 3,400 metres high in the air before bracing himself for the leap of death.
Created by extreme athlete, Tancrede Melet, 31, the Frenchman spent a whopping eight hours climbing a part of the Mont Blanc Massif to make the journey down in around a mere three minutes.
After tip-toeing his way across the mountain side to the République Needle, a location that has never previously been jumped from before, Tancrede is then seen soaring past the jagged landscape of the Chamonix of speeds up top to 100mph.
Kitted out with a state-of-the-art, made-to-measure wing suit, Tancrede has made over 200 previous jumps but admits that he’ll never get used to the thrill.
