waltappel 1 #26 December 20, 2007 Quote I once convinced 2 female first jumpers that it was a 1st jump traditional for them to ride the airport beacon naked, since there were 2 of them on it, they rode face to face, holding on to each other to keep balanced. If that doesn't make me the skydiving's biggest star, I don't know what would. You are bad man.Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bolas 5 #30 December 20, 2007 QuoteIs "speed flying" the same as "swooping"??? No. Speed flying is ground launching. The canopies are the same or very similar though.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

lawrocket 3 #31 December 20, 2007 I dont' think he was describing himself as such. Rather, the PR folks in NZ were describing him as such. Was he injured blade running? The description and injuries sound like that may be the case? My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waltappel 1 #32 December 20, 2007 QuoteIs "speed flying" the same as "swooping"??? I think it's a relatively recent discipline that is resulting in specialized canopies being developed for it. I've seen video of people doing it--a cross between downhill skiing and swooping and it looks really spectacular. Here is an example. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Across two different disciplines he has been a world cup winner, 5 times national champion, twice europen champion and twice a medallist at the world meet, is regarded by everyone that knows him as being the best wingsuiter on the planet not to mention being the guy that did this... and you know half a dozen guys who could make him look like a student! You must have some obscenely talented friends. There's a lot of hate flying around in this thread for what was written about him while he was lying in a hospital bed - that's just sad.Do you want to have an ideagasm?
