This is just a couple of pre-season warm up jumps in the new Aura light! So stoked with this suit! New Zealand has some pretty epic terrain to be explored. If you want to see the time lapses and lakes check out the fancy edit by Paul Webster of our January Trip!
On the 1st of January 2000, a Millennium Base Jump took place in Auckland New Zealand. First to see in the new Millennium.. 10 Auckland skydivers went down in history as the first legal base jump in New Zealand took place. Tim Fastnedge gained approvals from Transit New Zealand to carry out the jump from the Auckland Harbour Bridge, as a “millennium event”. 120 feet above sea level approx.
Jumpers: Andy Godfrey, Bea Austin, Callum Baird, Garth Lawless, Paul Early, Stu Read, Scott Beange, Tim Fastnedge, Tony Moore, Shane Baird

Proximity flying with a wingsuit is recommended only for very trained athletes and is considered a very dangerous sport. Proximity flying in tracking gear leaves even less margin for error and requires a more specific choice of flyable lines—if you get too deep, you don’t have wings to help you get out.
