Peej 0 #2 March 10, 2005 Do a search bro, there's been endless discussion about landing suits without a rig. However i was watching tv the other night and saw some of that ski jumping stuff and wondered what would happen if you stuck one of those dudes in a PF tracking suit. Anyone want to add some thoughts? Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonto 1 #3 March 10, 2005 Yeah. I think the drag induced down the slope would cost more than any flight benift after the launch. This would be true for Wing suits also. tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piisfish 140 #6 March 10, 2005 Quotewhat would happen if you stuck one of those dudes in a PF tracking suit. Anyone want to add some thoughts?they would crash beyond the K point... or would need longer landing slopes. In teh new rules they now have a "wingloading" factor which is important because the guys were all anorexic. So they now determine the size of the skis according to the weight/size ratio (or something quite similar). They also used to have swoop chords and stuff in order to increase the surface.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakee 1,563 #7 March 10, 2005 The last time I watched ski jumping it seemed to me they had wide, stiff inserts in the front of the legs (and possibly arms) on their suits. Same idea as a tracking suit , just a different design?Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How long does it take to become a ski jumper? Couple of years, working up size of ramp gradually?

mccordia 74 #12 March 10, 2005 You'd need one of those special wingsuits used in tombraider2. Untill exit it's just like a freefly suit. The wings don't come out untill you are actualy flying....JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder how hard it would be to actually build such a thing? Picture some kind of spring loaded swoop cord system that expands the wings and pulls them up to the arms...-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonto 1 #14 March 10, 2005 Has anyone looked at the rules? Are we going to build something that just fucks up those poor anorexic bastards who've trained their lives away?tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #15 March 10, 2005 I'm pretty sure the ski jumping rules disallow any kind of flight aids. I recall reading an article that discussed the evolution of that sport in Scandinavia, and it seems like they've already gone through the stage of inventing, then disallowing, tracking gear. If they'd allow it, I bet it would become a super cool wingsuit laboratory, though. -- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boachanoff 0 #16 March 10, 2005 ;) i haven't seen this movie,but as a beginning it should be started with much longer ski piste. regards:Plamen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
