Chamonix Video Report : 3rd July 2012

Wingsuit flight from Brevent, Chamonix

Featured in Video Reports Author Robin Deering, Chamonix Editor Updated

Vincent Descols, aka Le Blond, takes us on an epic journey as he he launches himself off the Brevent and flies down lines at speed with his wingusit here in Chamonix.
These are some of the most impressive wingsuit lines we've seen and are without doubt reserved for the professionals - there are some very close moments indeed!
Proximity fliers, like Vincent Descols, generally fly at a steep trajectory which gives the option to flatten out at any time to give themselves a bit more height when too close.

Vincent Descols has added a word of caution with this wingsuit video : "This is an expert wingsuit jump, with a very big ledge at 50m, very low departure, electric cable, tons of paragliders, restricted landing area... PLEASE don't jump there if you're not an expert, do not overestimate yourself!!"
