LouDiamond 1 #1 October 17, 2004 2 new birds got their wings yesterday here in Sebastian. Ed and Cynthia(franky) took a hit of the nylon crack and didn't look back, instant addicts. We ended up puting several 6 ways out throughout the day with the great scenery of the Ocean below us and lots of blue roofs. Today looks fantastic outside and the addicts are rolling in looking for a hit. Gotta run, I'm on a call"It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #3 October 17, 2004 I added ScottBre to the flock today. First flight of 78 seconds and an average speed of 61 mph. I had to work my ass off to stay with him. Second flight was just about the same. Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a beautiful weekend for my first flight, first flock and first head down in a wing suit. beer beer beer. Hey scott, are you going to be at the CSS thanksgiving boogie? I heard a birdman rep was going. Just wondering if it was you. >~ Cyn --going nowhere at lightening speed!-- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The111 1 #10 October 18, 2004 Very impressive Scott, and here I thought my first jump of 66mph was brag-worthy. What suit did you jump?www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottbre 0 #11 October 18, 2004 I jumped a borrowed GTi. Might have been able to slow down a bit more, but my mentor was carving away because he realized we needed to burn off some altitude lest we land far off the DZ. So I only got to play with the suit a little before I had to start following the other person back to the DZ. On a related note, does the software for the protrack that lets you download your jumps, show the fall rate speed fluctuations throughout the dive. Hadn't really cared until now, but I could definately see how that could be beneficially in determining slowest speed, etc. on a Birdman jump. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!"

I saw images(of protrack logs) on Kevin's website. But a Neptune is a better choice if you jump at a DZ that has a turbine and you are flying for distance or time. Because you will be in the over two minutes of flight time territory very soon. Kris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voodew1 0 #14 October 19, 2004 what does jumping at a turbine DZ have to do with anything--I jump cessnas primarily and have no problem getting over 2 min. How about the Neptune maybe a better product for the tracking of wingsuit jumps no matter what plane you jump from.

PhreeZone 20 #15 October 19, 2004 Yeah, but you are at one of the few Cessna DZ's that get 12 or 13 on every load too. Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voodew1 0 #16 October 19, 2004 We pay $18 just like you shouldn't we get the same altitude as you turbine whores!!!!!!!!! no offense meant and yes I am jealous of you turbine whores so what The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #17 October 19, 2004 I guess you're really jelious of my Turbine tailgate jumping whore ass huh? Mid Oct and we are still jumping the CASA. ScottBre had it super easy jumping the CASA for his first 2 jumps, not like taking a newbie out of a 182. And $18...

cynci 0 #21 October 20, 2004 lou (scott) could you possibly send a xsmall demo suit, with who ever is coming, for me. i have access to a classic down here that i will be jumping for the next 4 weekends. i would like to try a GTI demo or S3 demo, if possible. That is what I would like to buy. thanks~ Cyn --going nowhere at lightening speed!-- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bendywendy 0 #22 October 22, 2004 they have a nice little GTI in Deland that I used a few times unless they sold it. I think it had a lot of purple. I know the bag it was in was mislabeled it said it was for someone 5'7 or 5'9" but I'm 5'3" and all of a 103 pounds and it fit me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed and Cynthia(franky) took a hit of the nylon crack and didn't look back, instant addicts I came out late on Sunday and missed you Lou! However, I FINALLY got my first jump in! It's only been about 2 or 3 months I've been waiting now! I know....beer, beer, beer. I was so sad everyone quit jumping early to drink beer but it was the end of the weekend after all. I will catch up with you all eventually! "I know it's friday night, but come on. Surely there's something better to do than yell at people on the internet?" - Tom A.
