You know that I can never get enough of these wingsuit videos. It looks like such a fun activity and the surreal images of these guys drifting through the clouds is both tranquil and exhilarating at the same time. In this latest video, a team of skydivers jumps out of a plane over Illinois, not far from the city of Chicago. You won’t be seeing them whizzing past the Sears Tower, but they do pass through some low hanging clouds, which only adds to the cool factor.
Thanks to Richard Schneider for sharing his video with us. Looks like fun!

I would love to try that. It has to be an amazing rush.
Agreed! Looks so fun!
What I wouldn't do to try that out. Now if I could just conquer my fear of heights:)
It's not the height, or even the fall, that will kill you. It's the sudden stop at the end.
I'm not sure I'm ready to jump out of a perfectly good airplane though.
