- "Graham was traveling in China alone with a mission to scout and open new BASE-jumping exit points. Graham's friends reported him missing on Wednesday after he had not returned from the jump and local Search and Rescue -unit found his body, close to Tianmen Cave, Thursday morning." - WWL
Graham has changed the way not only BASE jumpers but also the general public views Wingsuit BASE jumping. Since his Brevent video with Dario went viral last year he has been consistently putting out amazing videos showing unique lines and daring flights in new landscapes. He will be missed by the entire community and remembered by many more.

He’s a household name in my world. Dude epitomized “live fast”. He was on a superhuman level.
You have not lived until you almost died, those who takes risk, life has special flavour for them and people from the comment section will never understand this.RIP Legend Graham.
i did jump from the plane but i did wake&bake in case its my last day, the only adrenaline was last 5mins in that rusty tiny plane, the expectation of unknown, the rest was fun since death rate is like 1:80000 lol. needless to say i rather stay high than chase that adrenaline high, its safer and it lasts longer haha
Every one of those drops must of felt like 1000 lifetimes over. RIP, thanks for the inspiration.
j246802 Inspiration.? These people are neanderthals. Let's hope nobody else takes up this suicide sport because of them.
Graham Cox
A harsh indictment son. He hurt no one other that the emotions of his family. In that respect, he deserves no more criticism than any other person in history who pushed the boundaries of what we considered, at the time, safe.
Look at the Wright brothers, or Chuck Yeager. We take supersonic flight for granted now as we jet across the world, yet we would never have achieved that without some maverick behaviour.
No, let him rest in peace and let those that loved him cherish his memory. Every person deserves that.
Karma He hurt nobody you write well he may hurt people stupid enough to follow him.Those who invented aeroplanes were doing something worthwhile. This lunacy will only ever be idiots taking ridiculous risks to show off on the Internet. This so called sport should be banned.
same was said of people that flew the first airplanes.
k11stan Those flying the first aeroplanes had a vision that led to what we have today.These idiots using wingsuits will only ever be idiots risking there lives for nothing and encouraging others to do the same with there die young warped mindset.
I feel like this... at least the man died doing what he loved and embraced. What a way to go out, doing what you love. My mom worked a job close to 40 years, taking orders, catching buses in the cold, being told when to take a vacation. And in the end, that dead end job killed her. I know he died with a smile on his face, if my mom was alive she would say in his honor, what you loved gave you life, so why not let it be what takes you.
anthony dyson what a sick mentality you have as if living into middle or old age is a bad thing.All this dying young mentality is so stupid.
@graham cox hey dude take it easy if you don't like the sport why are you on this video a few people who know him will see it and it didn't happen all that long ago so show some respect if not for him for his friends and family surly there are other places you can have this type of conversation.
Twiisted Somebody I no has been badly hurt doing this sport.He now regrets watching this type of video which encouraged him to take it up.
anthony dyson I Imagine the poor man died in absolute terror stop romantisicing it.As for your mother you seem to infer you wish she died young how sad is that.Those who cannot see all the buety in the world in nature etc and want to pass on this die young philosophy should think again.Stop encouraging this suicide so called sport.
its not about dying young we all do are best in these types of sports to stay safe and train all the time but fear of death does not stop us from pursuing our dreams
Watch his videos and you will see the beauty and grace of his sport. But you will also see the sort of risk-taking that relies on luck. And luck always runs out.A small atmospheric disturbance, a moment of distraction, a miscalculation and you're instantly dead. If he didn't understand this, he was a fool. If he did, then he either believed in providence or he had a death wish; probably a touch of both.
This is not to judge him. Not at all. But let's not call it a 'tragedy'. It was the likely outcome of his choices, perhaps even their inevitable outcome. Because there is no providence, only luck, and his simply ran-out.
He was one of the greatest. I love his channel.
True he made his own choices -- But in the end when it's all said and done -- They we're still His Choices -- RIP Graham Thanks For the Memories
One of the most amazing things I have ever seen.
I can understand the thrill of jumping off a high mountain in a wingsuit and soaring free above a beautiful river valley below.
What I DON'T understand is the need to see how close you can get to various hard rocky surfaces without getting killed.
It just looks like jock one-upmanship and a need to prove how brave you are.
Pilots who fly various aircraft mostly manage to find a way to push boundaries and do stunts without seeing how close they can get to the ground or some mountainside.
Why not just enjoy the thrill of wingsuiting high in the open air without feeling the need to prove something by constantly risking your life? I mean, what IS the point???
davehshs Because for many this is just idiots thinking there macho . Basically there just showing of its nothing to do with freedom.
flying in a wingsuit in open air can only be so exciting and that wears out. its about pushing yourself and seeing how far you can go.
shaggy A bit like an idiot driving a car to fast.
Graham Cox yes and no.. people usually just drive to get from point A to point B but with every sport there is different ways to do it. with cars you got drifting, drag and regular racing however you dont get into skydiving to get from point a to point b like the usual individual driving a car you get into it for the rush. not everyone can skydive like they can drive
but driving and wingsuiting are two completely different things really. but people drive next to concrete walls driving down highways, you dont call them crazy. hell the autobaun is the perfect example the road is designed for cars to go fast. wingsuits are designed for people to go fast
Extremely brave Darwin Award nominee
Truly awe inspiring!! Always wanted to do this, and will begin the process this spring with my first tandem jump. Thanks Graham. Fly High my man
So sad you want to commit suicide. I believe the samaritans can be contacted 24 .7.
Graham Cox seriously. How stupid are you
Pritchert27 the kids are raised, braces paid for and I'm bored. Plus, adrenaline is the best drug on the planet. Not saying I'm going to dodge trees and the ground and shit. Safe altitude for sure.
ucop73 1 I was talking to the guy above me. Btw I can't wait to go skydiving as well
Pritchert27 Nooooooo.play ping pong or tennis instead.
He was born 1 year after I was, and died long, long before i will (hopefully). That is a surreal realization, for some reason.
Hope it was worth it.
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time
kidnapped ❤
kidnapped pretentious bollocks.
Steven perdue nice comment steve
i don't get your reactions....
Mark Twain
Graham Dickinson with Dario Zanon and a good many more wingsuit pilots at that time were probably the best hardcore proximity wingsuiters ever. Seen quite a few videos of other jumpers on the Rockstar Line, but none of the others I watched on youtube were as good as the Dickinson/Dario jump. The naysayers say - but they died within two years! Well, that is true, but consider this - they both lived longer lives than Jimi hendrix, and also the great Ayrton Senna was only a year older than Dario Zanon when he died in a race. I'd absolutely love to wingsuit, but I know it will kill me.
RIP fly free
RIP Graham
Brings the saying - 'Balls, to the walls,' a new meaning ! Truely, a suicidal endeavor . . . passion !
Rip The flying Birds
So tragic, to die so young and such a horrible way to go. I will never understand why people jump off great heights, but respect their right to do it. RIP mister 😔
At least he was smiling.
Rest in peace.
Smiling ?
I'm sure he shit his pants when he crashed ....
Not smiling
balls of steel.., RESPECT
Alas! with great risk comes great reward and as with any high-risk sport one day your luck runs out!( I don't think the old line of 'he died doing what he loved and embraced' will lessen the grief his close family and friends will be feeling at this time?
For those who condemn those who fly based on a fear. A fear of dying a fear of getting hurt any fear is a learned feeling. We are not born with fear we learn fear. Its why so many little boys and girls break their arms jumping off 6 foot tall trees at 4 years old. They are not scared they have not learned to be scared. THis fear is what is used to keep all of us quiet. From doing things we want to do but are afraid to do out of fear of one kind or another. This man overcame the greatest fear we all learn to not fear eventually... death. WHen a person is on their deathbed most are no longer afraid of dying because it is at hand. Living in fear of something that is inevitable is a waste of the time we have while not dead aka alive. Doing what you want to do wether it be running a mile down the road or jumping off a cliff there is a possibility death may come of that action. Why run the mile but not jump off the cliff if the result may be the same? Here is a great story.. I had a friend who was my best friend and he went to Peru to learn firewalking from those who teach it. But they don't teach firewalking they teach how to overcome fear and to look inside ourselves for the power that we all have and to use that power to overcome fear and control the outcome of all events we undertake of our own free will. He came back from Peru and started gathering groups to learn and overcome fear and also walk on fire and do a few things seemingly impossible prior to his workshop. Like bending a 1 inch rebar between two people by holding it at our chins. I did it it was not magic it was real very real. I walked on fire I did amazing things as did everyone who went to the workshops. My friend was murdered in his bedroom for no apparent reason shot in the head killed while home alone doing most likely reading or something peaceful. I am sure he was not scared when it happened I will never know but the point is he lived his life not in fear and died unaware it was coming so he lived every moment like it may be his last and those who do the same I commend you and those who condemn them I pity you because you will die like everyone else and you wil never feel what it is like to not know fear.
Rest in peace mate.
awesome
Wingsuit videos have been getting a lot tamer lately because the guys who did the craziest stunts are all dead now. "Best of Wingsuit Proximity Flying 2013" is absolutely amazing, until the end where it lists 25 wingsuiters killed that year, including five in one week, and you realize the horrific cost of making these videos.
I really don't care what such people do as long as they are only endangering themselves.
such a haunting piece of music - does anyone know where it is from ? So sad to have another soul full of adventure and daring lost to the world.
Thanks for your comment! The song is called 'Acoustic Breeze' and you can download it for free from bensound. (Link in description)
play stupid games, win stupid prizes
A wing suit is not a flight suit, you are falling reguardles of what you call it. The alt. meter dosen`t lie
*regardless *doesn't
If only a way to sustain flight could be accomplished then i truly beleive that humans can start to fly .
That guy died at 29 years old, there is no honor in that. That must be the most dangerous sport by far. Keep it safe people.
jeffrey sisti most people die at 75 and never live. Theres no honor in that. This man lived
Eduardo Corona Castillo , I'd rather live till 75, than die in my 20ies
Rip Graham
My last jump is the first of al those of the rest of my life, jump safe
On 1:17, you must be kidding me !!!??? What are you doing here bro ??...This guy was an artist...but went too close that time...
YES A GREAT ARTIST....PAINTED THE COUNTRYSIDE RED WITH BITS OF BROWN MIXED IN
wrong, DoctorGarkle, Providence gave us these wingless bodies. Providence inspires all our
technology, whether for beneficial use or destructive. Providence is behind it all.
You may study. You may pray. You may weep the day away. Still...or rather...wait all
your life, day-after-day. Nothing of God's ways, I say, will you remotely sway, nor delay.
Rest in peace
RIP
insolife RIF rest in flight
Rest in pieces for sure
Don't be scared homie not anymore, he got recycled long time ago now !
Do what you have to do to free yourself in this life, free will is what you have at any given moment, as long as you do it without making another suffer, I co sign your decision. if any has love for you, they will respect your decision. You can't say what this man did was wrong, if it freed his soul then he was satisfied by doing it. Who am I or anyone else to put restrictions on what he loved to do? Control freaks always have a say and bring morality into the issue, but if you are not his mother who could say the most, then save that bullshit
I sware, I hate these wanna be judges without a courtroom. They do this keyboard fake battleshit because they can't do it in a face to face debate.
It is actually wasn’t be easy as u said. After greeting death it will not just stopped there. Doing something silly/ dangerous which lead to death surely be the same as unthankful to god for all the health, comfort, life, etc which is provided to him. So he wasted it by showing he don’t care. That is not a good way to his place in afterlife.
los mejores siempre nos dejan
Nice & cool! , but what about family,mother,father,wife etc?
What about them?
What's your point?
the question is how do these guys land?
Z T Minhas They use a parachute to land
RIP 🙌🏻
the best .. RIP
isso deve ser muito bom em fazer ainda em estiver vivo....uma sensação inesquecível....
There are many ways to exploit adrenaline.
Wow
rip
Died doing what he loved,if he even was aware of the moment he went to far who can say,I doubt he even felt fear or pain in that last blink of an eye.
He loved flying. I bet he didn’t love crashing into a rock wall. So think about it.
The general public only sees him fleeing after damaging whistler gondola
Lol love these haters who are living the “materialistic lie” they don’t realise that they have the mental aptitude of a mollusc and can’t see beyond they’re fear of going getting and doing what they want in life,we’re all going to die lol we’re all going to die. But haters just sit back and watch UA-cam and wish you were as brave and as free as these guys lol..... Blue Skies ✌🏻
Zero Fex bet you believe all the shit the news says. Bet you think you live in a spinning ball. Bet you believe in false flags. Bet your a mollusc.
@@alexvids9232 lol OP did have a point but you also had a point esp cause u pointed falseflags out pre-covid. you can be redpill and adrenaline junkie, would make more sense if you come from broken family to pull these stunts otherwise ur puttin dozens of people in pain
Dude jumped off a mountain and died?!? Holy shit! Who would have thought it.
rest in pieces...
Birds have millions of years of evolution behind them. Their wings aren't small and boxy shaped. Their wings are long and elegant. They have full control of each and every feather and use them to help negotiate every circumstance they find themselves in. Humans simply don't have that ability. Not with these wing suits.
wow doesn't even look real, rip legend
He was asking for it
Sabe o que é mais incrível em desafiar a MORTE?
Um dia a encontramos!!!
FOR SOME CLIMBING UP SLOWLY ON A BEUTIFULL MOUNTAIN ISNT ENOUGH. THEY HAVE CREATE A HELL FOR THEMSELVES
I like adrenaline so much, but, to feel it's discharge, I need to be alive .... 😁😁😁😁😁
25% fatality rate, 1 out of 4 jumps or 1 out of 4 wingsuiting.
SPONSORHIP THEY DONT CARE , ONE GOES DOWN 100 LINED UP TO FILL HIS SPOT
Learn to english, you dumbass.
@@practicalintuition4030
Suck it , if you know what I mean.
Now go back to your mom's basement
And back to your sticky keyboard doing
What you doing best and that is nothing!
And next time your answer my post you start with Sir !
I'll pass taking up the activity AND I'll also pass having any sympathy for foolish men doing very risky activities where death is highly possible. If that makes me insensitive in your eyes the clarity of your vision is the same as being blind.
The real question is can I share my faith...is the great commission for today. How can I be a affective witness...do I really believe mankind will go to hell for all eternity if they don't get saved? Does faith really come by hearing the preaching of the Gospel Romans 10:14-15 and if it does who am I preaching the gospel too, so They can hear and get saved?????
He danced too close to the razor's edge.
29 . . . and dead ! Gotta be a safer rush ! 😱
😢
nominated for a Darwin award
When we love others around us we have a responsibility towards them. I am sorry for the people who loved him, including all his family, this man loved no one but himself. His mind was not exactly normal and clear as to what is the meaning of real life. Really, life has no meaning and no purpose, in that we come in it due to circumstances beyond our control. We have to learn to fit in society which is not so easy. But we are free not to chose to do so of course, but it is not so simple, It looks as if he wanted to say something but did not have the vocabulary to do it and so he took a camera with him to be able to show others his calibre all in silence. So it is not a case of doing what he liked, doing what he did to show others what he did. Many people take risks and do not take cameras with them and what they do is for them only. This was not the case and he risked too much to prove himself, and hurt others who loved him. He had no right to kill himself. No one has that right.
He had every right to die how he wanted, when he wanted. You people are so fucking stupid!
向他致敬。
Luck turné on you rip
A wife and kids would of been the more loved filled life. Horrible choices.
I told him not to trust that Chines gear
Gregg Smith what's wrong with Chinese gear?
He said Chines. Not Chinese.
buy 1 get 1 free.
Or buy 6 get 13 free.
29 y/0 and dead ....,
Is it worth the rush???
First name Last name seems freaking yes to me and all my family member including my lovely wife and children
So he became a tomato soup?
dannass555 lol
It looks like he wanted to die young.
What an idiotic way to waste your life. For a few minutes of adrenaline rush he threw it all away. Darwinism took care of him, I guess...
Well... he wasn't good at anything. He thought he was good Base jump. But you know.
Don't judge people for something you know nothing about.
@@_dinesh I know one thing your mom is good at
Shitty music, and you skipped the best part of his most impressive flight. Thumbs down. RIP Graham Dickenson.
Wasting your life time for nothing
This guy was a reckless buffoon
lol
Now he's got a Darwin award. Downvoted.
I bet he enjoyed more days of his life than you will in your entire lifetime.
Who cares
go back to fishing boomer
El problema no es morir! Todos vamos a morir! Pero lo que no sabemos es si mueres al instante o quedas malherido sufriendo dolores insoportables hasta que agonizas y mueres. Ese esel verdadero miedo que todos tenemos, morir con dolor. Decanse en paz
