I have climbed up and down that ridge on the Matterhorn on foot. But descending like this is something quite different! Jeb Corliss lives his dreams.

Wingsuit
You can't ignore a good wingsuit video. The closest we humans have come to flying. Also superdangerous, but – you never know – possibly worth it!
Rocket Man
While we're on the subject of flying. Former Swiss army pilot Yves Rossy is working on his own flying-dream. As they say: «Only in Switzerland …». Check his YouTube channel for infos.
STOL
Flying never ceases to fascinate me. Not flown myself for a long time now, but maybe I'll tap into my bird-genes again soon. And seeing this guy take off and land – who needs runways anyway? The film is from the STOL (short takeoff and landing) competition in Valdez, Alaska. This is novice pilot Bobby Breeden in a plane he modified with his dad. Check out the whole story at wired.com.
