Courteney 0 #1 June 16, 2004 Howzit, I'm proud to announce that I did my first wingsuit jump this past Sunday at JSC...which was my first time jumping at JSC and my first jump on a Safire...shooo...that's alot of firsts. BEERS!!! It was an incredible experience and one that I'm planning on doing again and again sooon!!! Thanks goes to Tonto for all the organising and time and an awesome experience that I'll never forget. I'm still smiling!!! Free beer to Tonto when next you're in Swakopmund. Cheers, Courteney....drags me down like some sweet gravity!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 140 #2 June 16, 2004 congrats for your jump. sur T made a good job. But you said 1st ws jump plus 1st saphire ?? IMO not a very good idea to try several 1sts with gear on the same jump... what do you jump usually ??scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Courteney 0 #3 June 20, 2004 Thanks, yeah I don't suggest doing a lot of firsts at once but I was used to the rig it was just the canopy that was new to me...but it's more docile than my Stiletto 135 so it didn't bother me at all....drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!

piisfish 140 #4 June 20, 2004 for sure, better to jump the Safire than the Spinetto for wingsuit jumps (IMO, according to MY low experience... might work fine for others). glad you loved the flight, hope to be back soon to SA to flock again with the southern birdsscissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
