| Video Discription | Ahead of his leap off the top of Mount Everest in a wingsuit live on television in May, extreme athlete Joby Ogwyn performs a practice jump in California. For most adventurers reaching the summit of Mount Everest is the ultimate achievement, but for Joby Ogwyn it will be just the starting point. After scaling the world's tallest mountain he intends to jump off it and fly to the ground wearing a nylon wing-suit. The death-defying stunt will be broadcast live across the globe on television in May, when viewers will see Ogwyn say a quick prayer, take a few sucks from an oxygen mask, and throw himself into the void. Within the rarified worlds of both mountain climbing and extreme skydiving Ogwyn, 39, is already a legend. If anyone can jump safely off a mountain he can. In 2008 he climbed Everest in just nine and a half hours when it usually takes a least three days. He has practiced by flying his wingsuit around the Matterhorn, and jumped off the Eiger three times in one day. Fine tuning of the suit is happening at Perris airfield in California before he sets out for the Himalayas. His jump will be broadcast live to more than 200 countries by the Discovery Channel, which previously aired Felix Baumgartner's freefall from the edge of space in 2012, and Nik Wallenda's tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon in 2013. A 40-strong back-up team will accompany Ogwyn to base camp at 17,800ft, and four high altitude cameramen will join him on the three day trek to the summit at 29,035 ft. Once there the daredevil will, very quickly because of the intense cold, change out of his heavy climbing gear and put on the wingsuit. Ahead of his jump, Ogwyn has been practising by leaping over California. Watch the video to see yesterday's practice jump.
