Sam Hardy: Systems, Terrain Flying, and Building Repeatable Lines

Andy Ford: Perspective, Camera Flying, and Capturing Human Flight

For Andy Ford, wingsuiting isn’t just about the flight, it’s about how we see it. In this episode of Leading Edge, Andy shares lessons from 35 years in the sky and 25 years filming wingsuits around the world. We explore the craft behind aerial storytelling, why smooth flying matters more than aggressive movement, and how patience, awareness, and mastering the fundamentals shape both great pilots and great camera flyers.

Alex Knaub: Movement, Body Awareness, and Mastering Control in Flight

For Alex Knaub, wingsuit flying starts with one thing, how you move your body. In this episode of Leading Edge, Alex breaks down the fundamentals of body awareness, from understanding subtle inputs to building real control in the air. We explore why most pilots misunderstand movement, how to train better without the tunnel, and why mastering your body, not just your suit is the key to progression.

Sam Hardy: Systems, Terrain Flying, and Building Repeatable Lines

For Sam Hardy, terrain flying isn’t about getting close, it’s about understanding. In this episode of Leading Edge, Sam breaks down how he turned terrain flying into a system, from analysing glide ratios to building repeatable lines through the mountains. We explore decision-making, energy management, and why slowing down, seeking mentorship, and flying with intent are what truly keep pilots progressing long term.

Peter Salzmann: Innovation, Engineering, and Redefining Human Flight

For Peter Salzmann, wingsuiting isn’t just about flying, it’s about reinventing it. In this episode of Leading Edge, Peter shares his journey from athlete to innovator, developing electric thrust systems and wingsuit foils to push the boundaries of human flight. We explore the mindset behind innovation, balancing vision with risk, and why progress comes from questioning what’s possible, and having the courage to build it.

Luke Rogers: Data, Discipline, and Engineering Performance in Flight

For Luke Rogers, wingsuit performance isn’t guesswork, it’s engineered. In this episode of Leading Edge, Luke shares how discipline, data, and structured training shape elite performance flying. From analysing every jump to building systems for consistency, we explore why “practice makes permanent,” how to turn data into action, and what it really takes to stay calm and perform when it matters most.
