Racenic 0 #6 February 3, 2004 I've heard some wing suit guys talking about the possibility of landing on a ski slope with fresh powder (without the use of a chute) The guy says according to his pro tack his decent speed (in a wing suit)has been as low as 40 mph and if you can get at the perfect angle to the slope (much like the video) a person could pull it off.

PhreeZone 20 #12 February 3, 2004 Your friends are smoking crack too. I have averages of about 48-52 mph in my S3 and thats fatal speeds. You need to get into the 20's or lower to think about landing. Its been discussed a dozen times in the Wingsuit fourm.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like lots of cool stuff. How does it or is it going to cost? Will it come out in a R1 format for US DVD players?? Scott C."He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

BASE813 0 #16 February 3, 2004 This was done sometime ago. ...........and for the speeds of wingsuits I beleive on testing one of the newer suits the vertical speed was got down to 18mph. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ifics 0 #17 February 3, 2004 Thats a old video.. Its bad ass though, because of that clip I bought the whole Sould Flyers DVD and it was well worth the money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's an alright video. If you've seen the trailer, be aware that the pacing of the full video is comparitively much slower. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to get into the 20's or lower to think about landing. Its been discussed a dozen times in the Wingsuit fourm. I wonder what the speeds of the downhill "extreme" skiiers are that are basically cliff jumping with skis and landing on slopes to slow their descent. Theoretically...even if you had no birdsuit and no parachute...theoretically you could land on a snowly slope at the right angle if the mountain was sloped to the right angle and slowly changed, thus slowly changing your descent rate. theoretically. therefore, theoretically if in a birdman suit and if the slope of the mountain was right....you could land it..even if you were going 50mph. -------------------------------------------- Elfanie My Skydiving Page Fly Safe - Soft Landings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
