Hard to imagine though his first jump back would be with a tandem. Either way, really nice story. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouDiamond 1 #29 July 16, 2012 There's more to the story but needless to say Dana logged some tunnel time with his legs before he took to the sky. If you know Dana, there's not much that he does that doesn't surprise people most of the time. He's a good dude all around."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,027 #30 July 16, 2012 Quoteso if a person were to bang out say 75-100 wingsuit jumps on an old skyflyer, to the point where you can really fly that thing in dives, max flight, etc., would transitioning into a T-bird be an acceptable progression? the skyflyer, from what everyone says, is sort of a beginner/intermediate suit in itself................not the best intro suit, but has some decent level of performance............. I have a Skyflyer. It is not the easiest suit to fly! I can't imagine recommending it to a beginner.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Next question ... nah. big wingsuit, small canopy, small penis. that's all there is to it. Quote my close friend's daughter is older than he is. Is it inappropriate for me to date her? I recall Tony U once saying "if she's older than your daughter, then it's fine" I also recall Purple Mike saying "if she's legal in that state, it's fine" (folks have you gotten your 90s number yet?)
