Video of the Day - Slopeflying in Stryn, Norway

If you've watched a Youtube video of wingsuit flying in the past few years, there's a good chance it's courtesy of Joakim Sommer. The 25 year-old Norwegian has been making a name for himself by capturing a special wingsuit technique known as proximity flying.

If you're asking yourself "why is he getting closer to the cliffs?!" - that's the point. Proximity fliers like Sommer jump off the most scenic mountaintops in the world and aim to skim slopes while only meters above trees, waterfalls, and rock spires - all while capturing everything in 1080p.

This specific flight takes place in Styrn, Norway; a town of 7,000 residents that's usually written up for its fjords and year-round glacier skiing.
