Just thought i'd throw this up here.

For anyone who doesn't know yet, Winsuit flying is only the most beautifully elegant and dangerous sport ever invented by man. It's been evolving fast the last few years, here's a great vid to get you up to scratch:

They're finally recognising it as a real sport and the first ever wingsuit race will be held this October 13th & 14th in ZhangJiaJie national park, Hunan, China. Here's a video of the course, where you'll also recognise the world's greatest biking road that you'll never be allowed on:

It's also worth noting that one of the 16 pilots competing in the race is Roberta Mancino, who is a total badass as well as being the hottest athlete on earth.

Ts Ts Ts, only now I realize that my mental concept of a wingsuit was totally wrong. I can imagine a bright future for the women's tournament if they keep their wingsuits tight as this...

OK, yes, you've sold me on Roberta Mancini. This is got to be one of the best ads ever made.

Apologies to those in China without GFW countermeasures...

cheers

Yeah she's super cool. Put the wife and kids to bed and google her name with safe search off if you like boobies.
