Okay, so here’s the thing. Red Bull and Jonathan Griffith Productions have dropped this documentary called “Touching the Sky” on Quest. Picture this: you’re basically tagging along with these wingsuit base jumpers in the European Alps and a paragliding crew over the Himalayan peaks in Pakistan. It’s an hour-long ride—seriously immersive stuff.
They filmed this with these crazy 3D, 360 cameras custom-made just for this whole adventure. You get to fly with Fred Fugen and Vincent Cotte as they take two insane wingsuit trips in the Italian Dolomites.
Fugen mentioned something in one of those Red Bull blog posts—it was a whole thing flying with the camera. They had to get in sync with drone pilots swooping around from a helicopter. Imagine having like zero practice runs; they just had to wing it and mix their skills on the spot.
There’s also this part with Aaron Durogati and Matthias Weger paragliding basically into the heart of the Himalayas. Honestly, the stakes are sky-high—no kidding. Durogati explained the deal: flying in Pakistan is next-level because these mountains are gigantic. The wind currents are a beast compared to the Alps, and if things go south, you’re pretty much alone. No rescue choppers coming to save the day like back in the Alps.
And here’s the kicker—you can watch this whole thing for free on Meta Quest TV, but you’ll need a Quest 2 or better to check it out.
Oh, and if this stuff behind the scenes piques your interest, Red Bull’s got a thirty-minute video showing the whole raw process. It’s nuts what goes into filming something like this, honestly.
