World Wide Wingsuit News

This is the end!

2012-02-28T23:55:00.002+01:00

Thank you all for reading wingsuitnews the last 2,5 years! What started as a fun
‘for the love of the sport’ project, grew and grew into a website that draws close
to 400 unique visitors per day, and has seen a total of over 100.0000 visits.

Back in 2009 wingsuitnews.com saw one or two updates a week with 2 or 3 videos posted.
These days there are close to 20 or sometimes more new videos daily, making maintaining the website
close to a fulltime job. With all the cool subscription features on Vimeo, Youtube
and the massive sharing on facebook wingsuitnews.com is growing a bit out of style.
Hence the decision to call it a day!

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

Apache Wingsuit Burble Opening

2012-02-27T16:31:00.000+01:00

Canopy opening with Apache wingsuit in full flight. Note the D bag coming out straight then canopy inflation in burble, resulting in 8 line twists.

I am going to study openings in different positions so we can work out the very best way to pitch with these large wingsuits.

Very nice photography in this one! :)

"In life it’s our choice whether we laugh or cry – and I chose to laugh”

One Step Beyond takes us behind the scenes for a close up look at the lives of people
involved in extreme sports.

Géraldine Fasnacht, world-renowned snowboarder and base jumper, invites us into the small and close-knit community of today’s real life supermen - wingsuit flyers...
We join her on a rollercoaster ride across the full spectrum of human emotions, catapulting from total euphoria to devastating loss, living life at full force and in glorious technicolour.
Until one day, out of nowhere, a dramatic event changes the course of Géraldine’s life and forces her to reconsider her chosen path. In the face of tragedy, she decides to pick herself up and get back on the ride, to be swept up in a whirlwind of adrenaline.
This bare bones, honest account gives us a window into the lives of ordinary men and women who have chosen to take an extraordinary path in life.

Fasten your seat belts, we hope you enjoy your trip!

This full length documentary will be available on my blog from march, 8th sebmontaz.com

Angels tears

Nous savons que la terre n'appartient pas à l'homme, c'est l'homme qui appartient à la terre. Nous savons que toutes choses sont reliées. Tout ce qui arrive à la terre arrive au fils de la terre. L'homme n'a pas tissé la toile de la vie, il est seulement un fil du tissu. Tout ce qu'il fait sur à la toile, il le fait à lui-même." Seattle, chef Indien Suquamish

J'ai réalisé ce court métrage avec la GoPro960 HD qui a une focale fixe. La forme créative se veut onirique, car je voulais raconter cette histoire à la manière d'une légende ou d'un conte, où la nature et notre terre étaient au centre de cette narration. A travers une passion, la vraie vie est tissée de milliards de fils invisibles mais tous connectés à notre univers. Les larmes de notre mère la Terre sont un signal envoyé à notre coeur pour nous rappeler que l'homme en est l'un de ses fils.
