Wingsuit in the Salzkammergut Area

After spending a weekend in Slovenia, we met again at Dachstein for
a Wingsuite Base shooting. It was the 3rd time in 2009 we walked up
this mountain to collect some Wingsuit footage.
The weather changed immediately after we started walking up. Strong winds
(50km/h – gusts with 70km/h) and an exit inside the clouds are the wrong
conditions for a wingsuit jump from the very top of this 3000m peak. So Martin
and Wolf decided to go down again and to change the location. A few hours
later we arrived at “Trisselwand” near the Altauseer lake in the famous
Salzkammergut.
The weather was much better there, and so Martin did pretty nice jumps during
the rest of this weekend.
Equipped with bodymounted cams he showed us once again how it feels to
fly like a bird. As usual we tried out different camera positions during theese
jumps (back/front/left/right). We roped down the cliff and could catch
some amazing bird view shoots from the proximity wingsuite action too.
Last weekend we spent 3 Days at Mondsee/Drachenwand again. We carried
up our 9-meter-ABC-Crane to the exit and could make some unique crane shoots from
the exit jumps. Hour by hour of work we finally got second for second
banned of our base film footage.
