The structure, recently spotted by residents and tourists, took 3 days to install, with challenges faced due to weather constrictions. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h1>Spectacular<\/h1>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The jumps Fred and Vincent made were spectacular, a superb showcase for skydiving and made the most of the jump\u2019s potential. In one they wore wingsuits and carved around the tower in a corkscrew motion. In another they wore tracking suits and ended up spinning head-down next to the building \u2013 respect! The world\u2019s media are high on the excitement of the highest Base jump but most have no idea how incredible are the skills of the well-named Soul Flyers. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/5af4edee-f594-40e7-8f8f-a2d4b366068c.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It was the jump of a lifetime, an achievement from many many years of hard training and competing and being friends&#8230; A dream come true! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<h1>Training<\/h1>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>To build up to the jump, Fred and Vince recently made many BASE training jumps in Lauterbrunen, Switzerland, where they practiced freefly, acrobatics and carving round each other in low speed air.
