Behind the Scenes – the making of “Mission to the Eiger”

Last week the Jump4Heroes guys invited us to follow them off the Eiger – literally.  And like good little lemmings, we went. It’s a beautiful video with stunning visuals, so if you haven’t seen it yet, go ahead and watch.  We’ll wait.

This week, they bring us “the making of” of that video, showing you a little bit what goes into making a video like that. Turns out to be a bit more than just 3 cute Brits showing up at the edge of a cliff and jumping off.  The video is about 16 minutes long, so make sure to stock up on coffee, grab some snacks, put your feet up and get comfy before you hit play. Full screen recommended.

Jump4Heroes Eiger Wingsuit Formation BASE Jump. Yeah.

Here is a striking Wingsuit Base Video to send you in to the weekend, compliments of our Jump4Heroes friends. Enjoy!

Mission To The Eiger

We’ve serialised the story in the last 3 magazines and now, finally, we get to see the result. This video shows Jump4Heroes, The Royal British Legion Extreme Human Flight Team, standing on the edge of the north face of the Eiger. The Afghanistan veterans bow their heads in silence, remembering all servicemen past and present, before leaping off. The trio, consisting of Alastair Macartney, Spencer Hogg and Deane ‘Smudge’ Smith have smoke trailing as they fly their wingsuits in formation.

This is definitely one of those videos worth checking out and one that you’ll want to watch again a few times over the weekend. With aerial footage from BASE jumping legend Chris “Douggs” McDougall this will NOT disappoint. And, it’s all done to raise awareness for charity.

Check it out and don’t forget to Like the Jump4Heroes Facebook page and follow them on Twitter.

Pushing The Limits

Our friends Jump4Heroes certainly get up to some cool stuff.  They’ve just released their latest video, Pushing The Limits, which has a cool contrast between the urban side of BASE jumping and wingsuit flying in the mountains.  The building jumps were filmed during the Pro BASE World Cup from the 236m Istanbul Sapphire.  The guys took silver and bronze medal positions behind veteran BASE jumper Miles Daisher.  The wingsuit flying was done in the beautiful Swiss mountains.
Please check it out and let us know what you think.  The guys do all this to try and raise awareness for military charities.  If you want to see more of Jump4Heroes you can ‘Like’ them on Facebook, follow on Twitter or see their website. We hope you enjoy it.
