So next summer, when I become licensed I am definitely going to take this sport even to the most extreme and buy a wingsuit.

I have been watching a lot of wingsuit flying videos and after watching them, I have never been as excited to do anything before. These things can increase the standard freefall time of 60 seconds to up to 3 minutes. But, these wingsuits are expensive, (the one i'm looking at getting is $1200 euros). Hell the parachutes are about twice that much too.. expensive sport i tell ya!

I have even set a goal once I get good enough (i'm talking way down the road).. to see if I can fly home after I exit the airplane. I don't live that far from the skydiving place (about a 15 minute drive), so I think It just might be possible.

LOL i'll obviously have someone drop me off. And I probably wouldn't go to my house, thatd be too hazardous with no place to land. But there are a few parks nearby where I would probably land.
