Red Bull’s “Touching the Sky”: A One-Hour Immersive Documentary on Wingsuit Flying, Now Available on Quest

I’m just gonna dive right in — sorry if I lose my train of thought along the way. Anyway, so Red Bull hooked up with Jonathan Griffith for this thing called “Touching the Sky,” which you can watch on Quest. It’s this whole adventure deal with wingsuit dudes in the Alps and paragliders in the Himalayas. Honestly, sounds like a wild ride.

Alright, here we go. They used these crazy custom 3D cams, you know? Totally wrap-around, like you’re really there — or at least that’s the idea. Fred Fugen and Vincent Cotte are main players, doing their wild flight thing in the Italian Dolomites. And get this, Fugen’s like, “Flying with this camera? Yeah, not easy.” Imagine trying to pull that off with drone pilots buzzing around you. I can’t even imagine syncing up without a ton of practice. Bit like trying to harmonize a band without ever jamming together — might work, might not.

Then there’s the Himalayan part, with Aaron Durogati and Matthias Weger. Their goal? Fly high and deep, man. But here’s the kicker: those mountains are massive and, like, not easy to manage. Durogati mentioned — and I found this kind of intense — that if things go south, you’re on your own. Forget Alpine rescues, no choppers are saving the day out there. Yikes.

Oh, and side note — the whole doc’s free on Meta Quest TV if you’ve got Quest 2 or better. There’s also this behind-the-scenes bit Red Bull put out, showing how they made all this happen. Thirty minutes of raw, behind-the-lens chaos. Probably worth a peek if you’re into that sorta thing.

Alright, that’s it. Not sure if I covered everything or if anything made sense, but hopefully, it captures the vibe.
