Videos of people paragliding are pretty incredible to watch on their own, but this group of adrenaline seekers took it to the next level.
By mashing their flight video up with GPS data, this site lets you track the flight in real time all the way to the bottom on a Google Map next to the video. You’ve got to watch it over on Track Sphere to get the most out of the experience.
The GPS data makes it even more gut wrenching to watch as the person descends, since you’re able to see the big turns and dips before they happen on the video.
