Sure thing! Here’s my take on the article:
Alright, so here’s the deal. Red Bull and this other crew, Jonathan Griffith Productions, just popped out a thing called “Touching the Sky.” It’s up on Quest now, and it’s one of those eye-popping, hold-your-breath kinda docs. You’re tagging along with a bunch of daredevils — wingsuit jumpers flying through the Alpine skies and paragliders doing their thing over the massive peaks in Pakistan. Yeah, all in one hour. Nuts, right?
They rigged up these crazy custom 3D, 360 cameras. So, you’re pretty much in the action with Fred Fugen and Vincent Cotte, watching them zip around the Italian Dolomites in wingsuits. Fred, or Fugen, I guess (never know what to call people in these things), said the toughest part was, wait for it — freefalling with a bulky camera strapped on. No joke, they had to sync up with drone pilots in helicopters. Sounds like a sci-fi mission, if you ask me.
And then you’ve got Aaron Durogati and his buddy Matthias Weger. These guys are paragliding across the towering Himalayas in Pakistan. Imagine the view! Aaron was saying something about flying there being crazy extreme because, duh, the mountains are ginormous. He mentions the thermals — yeah, I had to look that up — being different from the Alps. Anyway, it’s a big deal because if you mess up, you’re kinda on your own. No helicopter rescues like in the Alps. I mean, gulp. Brave or just plain wild? Could be both.
Oh, and if this sounds like your jam, you can catch the full hour — for free! — on Meta Quest TV, but only if you’re on Quest 2 or better. No older models, sorry folks.
But wait, there’s more! Red Bull tossed in a thirty-minute behind-the-scenes piece. So, if you’re the kind who likes to peek behind the curtain, they’ve got you covered. You get to see how they pulled off these mind-blowing stunts. Yeah, real adrenaline junkie, breaking-the-fourth-wall type stuff.
Anyway, I might check it out if I can tear myself away from binge-watching reruns. Ah, let’s see what tomorrow brings!
