Anything Red Bull sponsors is insane. On GoPro's newest advertisement, you should see the wingsuit jumps and how they're sailing through the valleys and such. Those guys never cease to amaze me.

All Redbull wingsuit jumpers are awesome but...by far Jeb Corliss is Wingsuit KING right now.

At the track I go to, there are snowmobiles there all the time. They turn very good times, and leave the line great. Check out some videos for sleds in the 1/4 mile.
