This is one of the best videos that I've seen for wingsuit flying. The music is great too. Coming back to it in 2021, so many memories of watching it over and over again.
Alex, I and my wife Emma and are friends of your mother's. I am 43 with 3 kids and totally blown away by the freedom you let others live through you. Total humble respect to you, your talent and your commitment to life
I had the pleasure of meeting Alex in Paris, CA years ago. He was kind enough to let me jump his backup rig, I had only 30ish skydives at the time. Kind, awesome guy! Will be missed brotha
Thank you for all the support in the last 7 months ! My new vid came out today Batcave , Hope you feel the thrill and come for a flight with me through the computer . Good vibes
Vi este vídeo por primera vez hace tres años y desde entonces lo he ido viendo esporádicamente, hoy, después de medio año sin verlo lo he visto preguntándome que será de él, pensando si le habría pasado algo ya que no sube casi vídeos y al leer los comentarios me entero de que murió hace 3 días. Descansa en paz Alexander, tu recuerdo no morirá, fuiste una inspiración para muchos.
Alexander Polli! An Original! The iconic Wingsuit flight video! Still my favorite! This Alexander Polli “Reality of Human Flight” is brilliant! Linking it to Lindsey Stirling’s “Crystallize” revealed and opened up Wingsuit Flight to a whole new broader audience, and made wingsuit flying enthusiasts of many more people! Great gratitude beyond words, Alexander! Go with God, my friend
"Gone away"? Really? They just went away and are somewhere "away" now? Why don't you have the guts to speak and face the facts. That contributes to more people "going away" when you don't just say "he was having so much fun until it wasn't fun and he smashed his body beyond its ability to sustain life. He no longer exists because he chose big thrills for a short time and lost the potential of living for 50 more years and seeing and doing unimaginable things. He tossed it away for a quick thrill. How thrilling can it be at that price? It is pretty cool to watch the film they take while giving up their lives and seeing what it must have been like for them to do it. But the whole death thing is so permanent that I think I'll just settle for watching others and get my thrills second hand and continue living. I know its not quite as real as doing it is but I get the idea and I'll be here to check out the next big thing that is new and exciting and worth watching. And the next. I'm very confident that this wondrous coming together of all the matter and atoms and everything that composed together, AND living, makes up me, I'm pretty certain it's a one time deal, and when my being reaches a point that continuing to sustain life is no longer possible everything goes away and the wonder ends and cognitive awareness stops and never returns. And the best brain of every life form yet tells these guys that jumping off a mountain for thrills is a good decision? This is the most advanced brain of any living species that's ever lived on the planet. All that AND relatively decent health, life in the best location of the planet, so what am I gonna do with all this fantastic good fortune (but good fortune that will only happen ONE TIME and for a LIMITED TIME, I'm gonna utilize that superior brain and jump off a mountain with a suit that propels me and do it VERY close to and along terrain so that it makes it exciting because I know that I will die if I hit the terrain going this fast. But destroying the body that my head lives on doesn't seem like an extremely moronic act and an unfathomable thing to voluntarily do because...hey, it's fun? Until it's not.
@@haxto1 Ah fuck, if you don't have kids, 35-40 is a reasonable age to die at. The candle that burns twice as bright burn half as long. I'd say these crazy bastards live more in one jump than most people do over ten years.
B.A.S.E. Jump. Live for that feel between life and death! You and others have inspired me to reach that goal one day. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but one day i will fly like an eagle. Very happy to "feel" that feeling through a vid, thanks man!
This is one of those videos I watch over and over again. The way you fly combined with the music gives me goose bumps all over my body, causing a fuckload of pain in my left leg where I have a huge sore, but that's nothing against the joy wathing this video gives me. Alexander, dette er dritbra! Fortsett med det du gjør! Vederti volando è una gioia, sono contento di averti scoperto. :)
Ce films est magnifique, on ressent toute la passion pour ce sport d'exeption dont Alexander Polli à été un des plus brillant à partager ces images sublime. beaucoup ce sont inspirés de lui et beaucoup encore s'inspireront de son talent immense. Thank you man you so great. peace loveee affection.
So...I made a comment a year ago about this being my dream...and I am booked in to start my skydiving course in January...make it happen guys, I'm not far now. 200 skydives to go.
Karol S No, never. Your instructors will provide a student specific rig which is chosen based on your size and weight. Weight affects the performance of the canopy and as a student you will ride a larger, more forgiving canopy until you can demonstrate the ability to fly (and land!) in a controlled manner.
he cant hear you, and he's not resting, in peace or any other way, he no longer exists, he's dead, tossed it for a few short term thrills, nothing glorious or romantic about it. "Dammit"? Well, go ahead and be "inspired" and toss your life away for fun, try not to fool yourself too much that "you'll be missed" or that you "inspired" someone else to kill themselves. Or that if you piss away your life being stupid it's all good if you did it "doing what you loved", even if what you loved was moronically ignorant but WAY fun! Yea, just do it. Being alive is probably over-rated anyway. I mean how bad can being dead be anyway? It's probably way better, sleep is never an issue, none of the shit we sweat living is going to bother you one bit after your dead. No more money problems, cops don't fuck with you, nothing gives you cancer when your dead. There's no pain OR gain. No haters. Starting to sound pretty good, eh? Jump in.
Shawn Hax You must lead a depressing life to be leaving such long hatred comments. It's BASE jumping. It isn't anything new. There are people out there willing to sacrifice everything to live the dream. Life goes quick. Sooner than later, you'll be all wrinkly and old, looking at the mailbox waiting for your daily mail to come. Cause that's all you have left to look forward too. Your body is just rotting away and you can't wait to die. It's there decision to jump so who hell are you ? Not every base jumper dies. It's knowing when to back off, when the risk outweighs the reward. You can't say shit to these guys cause their living it the fullest and your probably just sitting there wanking it to the old pornhub. Fucking loser . Rant off
R.I.L. Rest in Love..Nature is our mother and we all belongs to here...Tru L-O-V-E was the inspiration and the dream to be closer a free bird...the wind, the speed, the adrenalin, the strong beating fast heart, the open white eyes in the flight...thats close between life, survive and death...Bro a lot will never forget you...thx for all the feelings you shared in your flights and words...
Alex your an inspiration man. Ive never once jumped from a plane "yet" But Im determined to experiece pwsf. Even if it takes me the rest of my life. What an accomplishment. Being as theres only a handfull of people in the entire world that do this. Stay true to yourself man. Live.
great video by alexander polli and great song by lindsey stirling. together they are just perfection. watched this many times now without getting bored.
Alexander you are crazy but at the same time brave and skilled enough to handle these two features! Keep doing your best! Im just impressed by your work
i wish i could say "thank you" for this video. when i watched it the first times my heart was beating and i had a smile... i directly was sure that i won't miss this experience in my live. next step is living in lauterbrunnen :) send you love! see you on the other side... but not soon...
Wow!! This is truly amazing! I hope to be able to do this, too, one day... Excellent choice of music, by the way, it sure makes the suspense stonger! What is it?
The best thing you do, and I can tell you that is very dificult to say what is the best thing you do man, is the freedom feeling you emanate it show every body that the most of limits are only in our minds. Thanks for that and for all the rest you do and you give us.
Just came back after completing my AFF course in Mimizan, France. I'm in love with the sport already. And every skydiver, wingsuit pilot I met has only the utmost amount of madness for it. Cheers to everyone who has tasted freefall!
You will always fly in the heavens, thank you for your incredible achievements down here. They are and will continue to be awe inspiring and mesmerizing at the same-time. I hope you find your way back down here to bring comfort to your close friends and family.
After watching that video for about 30X plus more,he is no doubt the best BASE,WINGSUIT jumper of all time,the risks that man makes is simply unreal,WELL DONE.
Hi Alex, Ray from NZ Queenstown/Treble cone here,from 2010, down in Antarctica showing the crew on my base your flick... loving it.. might finally get my jump lisence this season in norway if you are around be good to catch a beer,have one for the Fat ginger too... hope 2013 is all you wish it to be and stay on the game... Ray
The music by Lindsey Stirling puts this video the top! Alex, you are an aircraft, stunt aircraft, keep it safe my brother & have fun. Thank you for indeed an inspiring view of the heaven that you bring.
I'm signing up for skydive school this was my first video I watched and now I'm hooked. So I should flying by next year w gods help n protection. Thank you Alexander for helping me change my mind n not buying a crotch rocket.
This is one of the best videos that I've seen for wingsuit flying.
The music is great too.
Coming back to it in 2021, so many memories of watching it over and over again.
Same for me.
I've been watching this video for several years and I can't get enough of it. ❤
Alexander polli was one amazing and inspiring man. I never had the pleasure of meeting him.
RIP Alexander you will be missed.
This video never gets old. Still blows me away.
Alex, I and my wife Emma and are friends of your mother's. I am 43 with 3 kids and totally blown away by the freedom you let others live through you. Total humble respect to you, your talent and your commitment to life
Still here watching in 2021, RIP good sir!
Same for me
Beautiful footage and a beautiful song...I tear up every time.rip Alexander you truly lived
Never give up , never to old to chase a dream ! CHARGE THE CASTLE .
I'm chasing the dream as soon as this corona crap is over. Only got 13 jumps, but don't worry you'll see me there soon enough!!!!
@@gm5605 He has already crashed long ago. Where do you want to meet him?
@@gravizapa888 wasn't aware... well eventually I might meet him in heaven who knows, hopefuly much later on though.
Thanks for the inspiration brother, i bet ur flying higher and faster than ever
You are now dead.
Love this video and really enjoy watching it from time to time. Very sad to hear Alexander is no longer with us. He died doing what he loved.
so did every heroin junky
Shawn Hax I agree with ya
I had the pleasure of meeting Alex in Paris, CA years ago. He was kind enough to let me jump his backup rig, I had only 30ish skydives at the time. Kind, awesome guy! Will be missed brotha

So much to love about this, I love the stick-wall-scrape at 1:55.
I will watch this and smile every-time...
Fly free.
Two years later and it is still my favorite video. :)

RIP Alex! Far better to bow out early doing what you loved, than to grow old having never lived at all. You rocked!
Really thank you for your videos and your life!
♥
You gave a dream to such a number of people, so many of us..
rest in reace
You made me dream with your video. Today i had my first tandem, in your memory. May you fly high Alex.
He won't be "flying high" or doing anything, but hey, at least he made you have a dream, fuck yea, wait a go Alex, good job!
Super cool bro take hard
You died in your law, thanks for your videos, work and legacy

Passed my AFF=] now the fun begins.
Eric Bowie Eric, can you tell me, if its necessary to have your own parachute during AFF ???
Karol S No, never. Your instructors will provide a student specific rig which is chosen based on your size and weight.

Dammit. You were my inspiration to start jumping. RIP buddy. I never got to meet you.
he was a really laid back dude, sorry you never got too meet him,
I spend alot of summers with alex.

Why would anyone dislike this? Who watched this and thought "nah flying looks stupid"
Haters would. Such an awesome video
I can do that without a suit. Here, hold my beer...

Accident or something? :(

The Gods are surely enjoying your company . Blue skies. Thank you for leaving such beauty.
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo que j'adore, sans doute l'une des plus belles que j'aie pu voir sur UA-cam !!!
I totally understand the desire to fly like this, but when you flirt with Sir Newton's laws so frequently, you'll pay the price eventually.
great video by alexander polli and great song by lindsey stirling. together they are just perfection. watched this many times now without getting bored.
Alexander you are crazy but at the same time brave and skilled enough to handle these two features! Keep doing your best! Im just impressed by your work
2022 and still is a legend!
I watched a bunch of proximity flying vids and yours are the best (in my opinion) !
Just amazing. Cannot wait to be able to do this. The music is incredible. Just incredible.
I've been watching this video for several years and I can't get enough of it. ❤
R.I.P
2020
we still remember amd always will be ! I hope i will be flying like you when I die
This guy is insanely skillful. I actually find the non wingsuit tracking base jumps even more impressive. Utterly amazing
WAS insanely skillful
0:35-0:48 Just without words - favorite part!
Fantastic clip and the music is one of the things that makes out special. Love it...
You took the words right out of my mouth. Freedom through primal and pure expression. Like being in a dream.
i wish i could say "thank you" for this video. when i watched it the first times my heart was beating and i had a smile... i directly was sure that i won't miss this experience in my live. next step is living in lauterbrunnen :) send you love! see you on the other side... but not soon...
This video is deeply inspirational and the music fits perfectly. You do good work Alexander. Thank you!
Thank YOU Alexander Polli for sharing your amazing life! I watch your video everyday so I can learn to let go of fear.
I´m 39. I do paragliding. When I grow up I promise you, my friend, do something like this. This is awesome! Thank you!
You blow my mind. You and gopro showing dreams can come true. Fly for life brother!
Alexander uno de los grandes en el mundo. dejaste huella y me dio gusto conocerte en tu visita a Durango.
Wow!! This is truly amazing! I hope to be able to do this, too, one day...
Excellent choice of music, by the way, it sure makes the suspense stonger!
What is it?

The way you navigate through the canyons is incredible man. WOW is about all I can say.
Just came back after completing my AFF course in Mimizan, France. I'm in love with the sport already. And every skydiver, wingsuit pilot I met has only the utmost amount of madness for it. Cheers to everyone who has tasted freefall!
good for you Akash, c-ya!
Music + video shows how free mankind can be , keep it up !
That's fantastic! I haven't words to describe what I feel when see so exciting flying! You're the best!
How exhilarating! You have flown and seen the very beauty of nature. Oh how wonderful!
No matter how much I watch this, I'm still blown away every time. AMAZING! And such a beautiful area.
You will always fly in the heavens, thank you for your incredible achievements down here. They are and will continue to be awe inspiring and mesmerizing at the same-time. I hope you find your way back down here to bring comfort to your close friends and family.

Got directed to this after the Batcave video. Man, this is so awesome. Beautifully shot video too.
2:28 seems very surreal for some reason... almost calming as he is just falling looking at the camera as the mountains go by..
Hi Alex, Ray from NZ Queenstown/Treble cone here,from 2010, down in Antarctica showing the crew on my base your flick... loving it.. might finally get my jump lisence this season in norway if you are around be good to catch a beer,have one for the Fat ginger too... hope 2013 is all you wish it to be and stay on the game...

The music by Lindsey Stirling puts this video the top! Alex, you are an aircraft, stunt aircraft, keep it safe my brother & have fun. Thank you for indeed an inspiring view of the heaven that you bring.
Thank you ! Incredible and powerful viewing this, makes my heart fill with joy ..so inspiring ..
