Red Bull’s ‘Touching the Sky’: An Hour-Long Immersive Wingsuit Flying Documentary Available on Quest

Okay, so here’s the deal. Red Bull—yeah, the energy drink people—teamed up with Jonathan Griffith Productions to drop “Touching the Sky” on Quest. It’s this hour-long, wild ride where you get to tag along with wingsuit base jumpers in the Alps and a paragliding crew in the Himalayas. Wild, right?

Picture this: custom-built 3D, 360 cameras. How crazy is that, huh? So, you’re basically flying with these guys—Fred Fugen and Vincent Cotte—zooming through the Italian Dolomites. Fred said something about the challenge of freefall flying with such a camera and syncing up with drone pilots in helicopters. I mean, imagine trying that after just a few practice runs. Nuts!

And then there’s Aaron Durogati and Matthias Weger. These dudes are paragliding across Pakistan’s Himalayas. Aaron goes on about how flying there is no joke—huge mountains and thermal flows that aren’t anything like the Alps. He casually mentions the reality check: if stuff goes sideways, you’re on your own. Unlike the Alps where rescue teams are like your safety net.

Now, you can catch this madness for free on Meta Quest TV, but you gotta have a Quest 2—so, you know, there’s that. If you’re curious about the gritty details behind it all, Red Bull’s got a thirty-minute behind-the-scenes thing too. Sounds intense, right? I’d check it out just for the sheer “how on earth did they pull this off” factor.
