The Irish Wingsuit team will next week embark on several outrageous World Record attempts. The team, who are sponsored by Aer Lingus, is made up of Kildare brothers Stephen & David Duffy and Mark Daly from Armagh.

Seeing as this is so unusual, Ian rang Stephen to find out more about their extreme sport and ask why in the name of the man upstairs you would do it!? He was in flying form... (sorry).

Events take place from the 5th-9th of April, in California and on Sunday the 9th of April, they will attempt a 35,000ft jump which takes them 4 minutes away from breathable oxygen and travel at speeds of 200kmph. 

The Discovery Channel will be following the lads, who are sponsored by Aer Lingus, throughout so you can experience the adrenaline rush with them.
