Anachronist 2 #3 November 7, 2016 There is a really long discussion about this on BaseJumper.com. They get into some really nitty gritty stuff about technique and comparing his jump to others on the same line using video time tags. Long story short, for anyone hoping to fly proxy some day, the decisions are incredibly nuanced, and any mistake will put you into terrain. The final verdict seemed to be his speed was ok until the last few seconds, trying to get too much lift w/o enough air speed = sink. He went from totally fine to trees in just a few seconds with a single mistake, after which there were no outs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
