VKB

"VKB might also refer to Native Land Register (Fiji)"

VKB is an acronym for Værdal'n Karsk og BASE. VKB is a group of Norwegian BASE jumpers who are known for their extreme skill in certain aspects of BASE jumping, and the videos they have posted online. They specialize in high-speed tracking and wingsuit flight close to the mountain side.

VKB have been designing their own tracking suits to achieve a better glide ratio than previously thought possible. These suits started out as simple modifications of normal outdoor clothing to their latest incarnation, Grusomme Gratis Gunda 3, or G3. The G3 is designed from the ground up to be a high speed tracking suit using several original and innovative technologies, and were wind tunnel tested during development.

VKB released their first DVD called Superterminal in the fall of 2005, to rave reviews from the BASE and skydiving community. Part One of the feature is purely tracking whilst Part Two is Wingsuit flying. Also featured as bonus material is over an hour of footage from Norway and Kyrgyzstan, some of which was previously published on skydivingmovies.com

VKB have released several short movies online, most of which have been "very" well received.
