2014 Nismo vs Wingsuit

See the 370Z Nismo in action as Peter Pyzera meets up with legendary wingsuit athlete Dave Barlia for a breathtaking challenge in the Swiss Alps.

For the last 5 years GT Academy has been transforming the world’s top gamers into professional racing drivers. Through Nismo Lab, Nissan’s team of performance coaches are continually developing new techniques to push these Nismo athletes to their limits. Now the next chapter in this story has begun…

Jukeride is a unique analysis tool. For the first time it is allowing us to monitor biometric and telematics data from a wingsuit athlete, discovering what it takes to master this incredible feate of mental strength. Together with our coaches, Peter and his fellow Nismo athletes will apply these techniques to their training programmes, helping them to improve their performance and become the very best.

GoPro Bomb Squad Skydiving

Daredevils dangle from the skids of a helicopter and soar above the Alps with only a wingsuit for protection. The GoPro Bomb Squad have spent the last five years travelling the world to showcase their talents in disciplines as diverse as paragliding, speed flying, wingsuit cloud surfing, base jumping, and skydiving. The four friends formed the Bomb Squad in 2008 after approaching action camera maker GoPro in the hope of turning their extreme sports holidays into a full-time career.

The GoPro BombSquad: Neil Amonson, Marshall Miller, Jesse Hall, and Jt Holmes.

AERIAL CHRONICLES OF A VENETIAN, EP. 3

Oh you ragamuffin daredevils, always jumping off damn dams! Vladimir Spigler and his buddies have no qualms about BASE jumping off anything and everything — in this video they’re leaping off mountains in Lauterbrunnen, Canton of Bern and Canton of Wallis. Vladimir and his Italian crew then move to the Western part of the Swiss Alps to discover some new undisclosed jumps, like a huge 250m concrete wall dam and a sweet jump next to a fairy waterfall… The journey was made difficult by unlucky weather – wind rain and low clouds but patience and respect for nature is a must when trying to be successful in the unknown mountain environment… Athletes: Vladimir Spigler, Alexander Edbom, Peter Salzmann, Olivier Chacornac, Kristoffer Andersen,Twin Pask Dam BASE Jumping! | Aerial Chronicles of a Venetian, Ep. 3
