Extreme Freestyler spotted in the Swiss Alps flying!

  Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland!  The flying man has been spotted and he's pinned off a 2500 foot vertical drop! "It was the most amazing feat of mankind I've seen in my 15 years of developing action sports media!" said, Extreme Freestylers Digital Media Director Scotty Avalos.  In a collaboration with Chello Zone, the EXFMX crew was putting in some seriously dangerous media production and it paid off.  Ted Davenport was diving the High Ultimate, a take off point for the wing suit daredevils in Switzerland.  An action point developed for the sport of wingsuit flying, and the only one of it's kind in the world!  Nestled in the Swiss Alps, this spot has been getting world wide recognition for its ominous cliffs and unbelievable views.  In the shadow of the Eiger another summer jump spot, this is as good as it gets for wingsuiters!  The scenic portrait for Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" film development, this spot is simply amazing.  A short tram or gondola ride up the mountain and you land into a winter wonderland.  A storybook Swiss village overlooks the take off point.  The diving board like apparatus was set into the top of the cliff face and is a marvel of construction and is the final point of land you will feel before you trace the 2500 foot vertical drop to parachute into the farmland below.  When you look over the side the cars and people look like ants, you are committed a %100 and there is no turning back from this sport.  Flying has become a reality and these guys are doing it.  Look for Ted Davenport to be winging it into a Extreme Freestylers event near you, you never know which one, but believe me, the entrance will be the entrance of a lifetime!
