Wingsuit diving, a sport where daredevils leap off airplanes or mountains and fly at speeds exceeding 100mph with the help of just their birdman or squirrel suits, has been around in some form or shape since the 1930's. However, it is only recently thanks to stars like Jeb Corliss, that it has gained worldwide attention. Now with the announcement of the world's first Grand Prix, this extreme sport is finally going mainstream.
