Did he achieve some lift/limited flight there?

...and no one thought my transparent wingsuit idea had any merit.

Aaah from 2011. Was wondering why he was not at the Olympics. He retired in 2012

Kinda looked like it, didn't it?

Much further and he's have landed on the flat!

This is actually "ski flying". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_jumping#Ski_flying

He certainly did. Looks like the distance limit is governed by the length of the hill! He was running parallel to the slope all the way down.

Very impressive. I wonder if closing his mouth to reduce drag would have made much / any difference to the jump?

Well on the other hand you want to have some surface area to get more lift, so... =)

OK, I doubt opening your mouth actually provides enough area to do anything. But they used to have much looser and bigger suits before that were generating a certain wingsuit effect already, and fairly recently they ruled that the suits must be a lot more form fitting, so once again it's more up to the skill of the jumper instead of the level of equipment.
