]]> Here’s a little flashback to last summer in Norway. Just wanted to share the feeling of base jumping off the edge, flying from Smellveggen exit to landing at the Lower Ladder landing area. So the video and sound is uncut from my gopro, to share my point of view. At the exit I was trying to convince my friend Martin, who jumped with me, to land in the water just for the fun of it – but he did not seem very hooked on this particular idea.

The year before I actually decided myself to test out the Lysefjord water temperature. Take a look at these screen grabs from the video – sorry about the poor quality, but I decided to leave my Canon 5D behind on this jump.

I wish this little red boat would have driven the opposite way…would have been fun to try and land on it with my Atair Troll DW base jumping canopy

If you want to see the waterlanding in the Lysefjord, it is the last part of this video from 2011:

That weightless moment - after stepping off the edge When it's summer in Norway A quick stroll along the hiking path to Kjerag Trango 2 inside Blue wingsuit for a blue sky day It's all in the details Incredible day at exit 4 Few people get to experience these moments Looks like they are cooking up a flight plan Sunny day at Kjerag Full steam ahead The energy you build up on the cliff get's you a perfect head start on building up your flying speed Absolutely the point of no return Adventure fueled by curiosity Just waiting for transition and then pressurization The awesome moment of truth Silence, stillness, freedom! Transitioning in to that perfect flying position Gainer aka backwards somersault 2 way fun day A swedish jumper - but judging from the suit colors he should have been danish (ha ha) Fast forward motion Off to the beach Sunny days like this just calls for a Pressurized Tube 3 jump A good head up exit get's you safely off the mountain Those last steps are the best You see the tention and expectation of a great jump Salomon should start licensing my photographs Free fall freedom Taking in every second - Base jumper preparing for a jump Getting up to speed before running off the famous exit 6 at Kjerag, Norway. Danish doing his gymnast thing Look at me A commercial for shoes? Red shoes with blue shoe laces can make you this cool Flying back to the landing area Old school tracking Greener than green - a view from above Slightly faster than his own shadow Stavanger Base Klubbs brand new Flik canopy landing at the LZ Happy danish base jumper at the green landing area Mr. K diving off the board Upside-down Australian on the loose in Norway Aussie flying away from Eagles Nest after perfect roll-over French invasion from Eagles Nest Look ahead and see the promise of a great day tomorrow Ever changing conditions in Norway's fantastic mountains That trampoline prize is mine! Center perfect landing Danish dude aiming for the famous trampoline Danish jumpers aiming for the famous trampoline Quite a dark evening Evening load just before the rain The trampoline is a magnet for beer hungry danish people

Sometimes the most simple approach to a challenge is the way to go. Gary Connery sure executed his plan to perfection when he landed his modified Tony Wingsuit dead center into a humongous pile of cardboard boxes.

Got a wingsuit flyver team? Need a sponsor? Here's and idea!

My fellow base jumper and skydiver deluxe Joel Strickland from Varial Freefly team was there, and was kind enough to share his fantastic photo of the pile of boxes. The very pile of boxes that cushioned Gary’s perfectly aimed wingsuit landing.


WARNING: If, however, you choose to play with these great inventions (be a wingsuit OR a cardboard box) – here’s what CAN happen to you:

According to his Twitter stream @GaryConnery he did some solid training in Brento Italy a few weeks back, perfecting his slow flying skills.

So, after carefully nursing his 18,600 boxes, and having his hair done, he looks to be set for a full action day tomorrow.

Stay tuned to a Vimeo or Youtube channel near you! (unless you are in the UK where you can watch it live on Sky News)

Latest update is this image from Mark Sutton (source: Twitter.com). Dry boxes and blue skies! Yes!
