3fLiEr 0 #1 October 27, 2002 At my local DZ there is a 500 jump limit on starting wingsuits - since finding a new parachuting hobbie to take my time up I am unlikely to move my 450 jumps up to the 500 in the next couple of years. Are there any UK DZ's (eg Langar, Sibson) that perhaps are more relaxed about jump numbers? Cheers Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpoxon 0 #2 October 28, 2002 Mac, At my home DZ, if you catch the DZO and CCI at the right time and can display you have a full understanding of what you are undertaking, along with the right attitude, there is a possibility that he may allow you to do a wingsuit jump with less than 500 jumps. However, if he doesn't know you and therefore have a practical grasp of your attitude, you'll have your work cut out. Turning up unknown saying, "I hear I can make a wingsuit jump here" would not be appreciated. That means you'd need to hang around and jump so that your attitude is demonstrated. I think you're unlikely to get a jump at Sibson. From what I understand, wingsuit flying has only started there recently now that the staff have some suits and they'll be winding down soon when the Let goes too. Also Andy at Weston is very strict on the 500 jump limit. Do you have a suit or access to one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
