Wingsuits are for people that dont know how to fly

[flyingwallop 7]

Apparently the idea that wingsuiting attracts people that dont know how to fly or cant be bothered to learn how to fly their bodies, is trending.

Surely there are plenty of opinions out there to fuel interest.

There are many ways to fly young troll. Some have explored the others and find wingsuiting to be another challenge among them.

Now... tell me what the significance is of your avatar.

I didn't start skydiving to learn to fly my body. I started skydiving to fly a wingsuit. If I jump without a wingsuit, I largely go toward the earth, more like a stone than a bird....not really flying in my book.

I can fly a wingsuit way better than I can belly or free fly, but then again they both bored me and I would have quit skydiving if it weren't for wingsuiting.

I don't fly to be good, I fly to put a smile on my face.

I can fly with a tandem with my wing suit but not belly flying

We all have to start somewhere. Being an expert at flying your body in the tunnel or sky isn’t required to learn how to wingsuit. I’m happy to welcome anyone to wingsuiting as long as they progress safely.

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

I second that.
Knowing how to fly your body may and probably will help you with wingsuiting, but isn't a must.

Same thing with some people being good at basketball but may suck at handball. It's a sport but a different discipline
