With adrenaline pumping‚ wind screaming in his ears and a series of stomach-churning turns‚ the video shows a paraglider flying centimetres above manicured mansions and between luxury apartments in Clifton‚ Cape Town. Jumping off mountains‚ beautiful views and all things adrenaline are what inspire Jean-Jacques Wallis – even if his speed-flying stunts while dangling below a fast paraglider are not entirely legal.TMG Digital interviewed the thrill junkie after he posted a video of a hair-raising high-speed flight between homes and buildings in the city on YouTube.The Johannesburg-born speed flyer has been living in Cape Town for the past seven months and calls the Mother City “the final frontier” for wingsuit BASE (building‚ antenna‚ span and earth) jumping.Making his first skydive at the age of 12‚ the now 26-year-old has been living out his passion for the past 15 years by jumping off mountain tops both nationally and internationally. “There are probably only two or three of us who do wingsuit BASE jumping in the country. As far as I know‚ it’s illegal here at the moment‚ but I’m working on getting it legalised so that we can hold competitions in the city. There are so many beautiful mountains to jump from‚” said Wallis.He posted the video to his YouTube channel last week‚ depicting him swooping in between mansions‚ over swimming pools‚ at times narrowly avoiding catastrophe and landing‚ finally‚ on the beach.The flight gets scary‚ and dangerous‚ about one minute into the clip. “Everything is dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. But the more you practice the better you become. This is something I do every day‚” he said.“Over the past 15 years‚ I’ve done about 3500 skydives. I don’t have any real formal training with all these different jumps‚ but I had a mentor and now I have a few people that I mentor too‚” Wallis said.Although he represented South Africa at the FAI World Canopy Piloting Championships in the United States in 2014‚ he says that he is not able to make a living out of BASE jumping.“I don’t really make any money from doing what I do. I make some money as a tandem instructor (skydiving)‚” he said.Wallis says he has never been injured in the last 15 years and now plans to make “100-never-before-done BASE jumps across the Western Cape”.“There is nothing I love more than being in the air. I actually think I’m in the air more than I am on land. Its extremely relaxing being up there and the view is outstanding. I advise everyone to try it‚” he added.TMG Digital..
