"Fly" is a documentary about basejumping. Right now, it is screening on selected festivals, and from 29th September 2024, it can be seen streamed on @disneyplus , @hulu , and @natgeotv . The documentary follows three couples, Marta & Jimmy, @julsbotelho & @scottyybob , and @amberforte_ & myself. The filmmakers @christinaclusiau and @shaulschwarz have followed the community closely since 2016. For those who know the path of basejumping between 2016 and 2024, they can easily imagine that this is a story of ups and downs. About the images: The action shots on location are from Chamonix fall 2023. It was the last shoot. The premiere shots are from Austin, Texas, during @sxsw , where the owner of "Fly," @natgeo , invited us to take part in the World Premiere.

For the longest time, the exit point "Fetanipa" was flown towards Gudvangen. In recent years, it has been more popular to fly out the fjord for obvious reasons. 📹 by Cameramber aka Camber aka @amberforte_ You should join this one when you have time off work as LO at @ekstremsportveko @miles_daisher !!!

"Fly" had its world premiere at @sxsw in Austin, and @natgeo gave us all the opportunity to share the experience together. What a ride and what a film. @christinaclusiau and @shaulschwarz have created a portrait of our community. I was blown away by viewing "Fly" and needed hours after to calm down after. Basejumpers are a wild kind. Damn what a group of freedom seekers! I know this picture is a tiny bit staged, but that crew is just such a fun hangout. @scottyybob was the one who brought @julsbotelho , @amberforte_ and I along. Forever stoked about that Bobbage! Go and watch it. It will be possible to stream on @disneyplus and @hulu from fall 2024. Finally. Cheers to Jimmy P. What a fantastic human and basejumper!

At @ekstremsportveko we go to Gudvangen, the valley of God's. A valley where vikings still live the way Norwegians lived 1000 years ago. Deep roted in our way of being, we still interact in ways that have remained for thousands of years. In Gudvangen, we we fly our wingsuits! @flyversen @amberforte_ video! @andreas_hemli @felixtheflyingcat

This was the highlight of @ekstremsportveko 2023 😀 I just had a sneak peek into the plans for B.A.S.E 2024 and immediately decided to put aside the whole week for hikes, flight, parties in remote locations and creative ideas. See you in four months! /en-GB/tickets/634fd17ada02ad00123a711e Photo 📸 @amberforte_

Now, that was a pure, aerial race, even before I caught air. Big thanks to "De Udødeliges Forening" for creating such a great slide. The speed was way better than on the 2023 edition. @gopro @squirrel.ws @loenskylift @dbjourney @skydivenimsdai

We have received many questions about sled-base in Loen this winter. @thomasberghestad , @amberforte_ and I are committed to making a mad fun sled-slope when conditions are good. We will try to give a heads up in advance so anyone who's keen (and preferably skilled in strange jumps;)) can come and join us. In picture number two you see @mathiasronnestad . He got the by far the best sunset sled-base to massive 360 carve to steep gully prox in 2022. In video 3, you see @amberforte_ have the time of her life! @loenskylift @gopro @squirrel.ws

I often go inside to prepare for outside. @indoorwingsuitflying is the gym, and with @nimsdai and @skydivenimsdai , the possibilities outside are redefined. Look forward to this year's projects. @scottpalmair told me on a hike last year how the flying idea of compressing and the releasing (energy) is foundation of efficiency in flying. I found it a very interesting idea of thinking. In a wingsuit its kinda like...a pop. @squirrel.ws Freak5 is the flagship of effortless wingsuit pops...or as Plamer would say, compress-release. @gopro 📸 @amberforte_

2023 became such a rad year! Loen is home, and home provided us with incredibly fun, sled-base moments, beautiful hikes, and climbs. We also got to experience the mountains of Karakoram and the Khumbu Valley in the Himalayas. 2023 became the final year of shooting for the upcoming documentary by @shaulschwarz and @christinaclusiau about our basejumping community. We look forward to seeing it premiere in 2024, alongside exiting projects with @redbulluk , @skydivenimsdai and not at least many wingsuit tunnel camps at @indoorwingsuitflying . Big thanks to everyone who chose to cooperate with us! @squirrel.ws @redbulluk @uptvector @gopro @dbjourney @skydivenimsdai @tonfly_official @vigil_aad @lbaltimeters @vertical_playground @alfasko @northernplayground And, last but not least, a very special thank you to @javed_mountain_guide for giving us the most amazing experience during our month in Pakistan. 🙏🏼

@amberforte_ is preparing for a 2024 project, and I'm hired as her safety responsible. I asked "my employer" if I could lead a jump in between the seriousness. She, off course, said, yes! The new @squirrel.ws CR+ is, in addition to being a world leading performance competition suit, weirdly good at dynamic flying. I think Amber will post her news tomorrow evening. It is exciting news!! @gopro @uptvector @vigil_aad @lbaltimeters @tonfly_official @skydive_spain

Winter just started in Loen. It's way more beautiful to hike and fly in the cold period. So sharp and contrast filled. Love it!
