By Sophie Nicholson, Updated

Norwegian Espen Fadnes is the guy behind the infamous Brevent wingsuit jump earlier this summer. The video of the jump known as 'Rockstar' became a huge internet sensation - 400,000 views in a fortnight! The jump is an extremely technical one and somewhat controversially has now been closed by the Mayor of Chamonix for safety reasons.

Espen is one of the best wingsuiters in the world today and is set to take part in the inaugural World Wingsuite League (WWL) to be held in China on the 13-14 October 2012.
