SkymonkeyONE 4 #6 April 7, 2005 Looks like me and my wife will be there. I will run a BMI course for any interested/qualified party assuming my schedule stays clear. I will be bringing at least six demo suits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

voodew1 0 #10 April 7, 2005 Heli to 4-4.5k Now lets talk about balloon jumps-- Me and professor have just about got the exit perfect here how it works 1st get up early (real f'in early) 2nd ride around in the van 3rd inflate the balloon upwind of the dz 4th - the exit part - carefully open the van door, step out gently as not to sprain an ankle, help roll the balloon back up and put it in the van. Go back to the DZ because the thing is out of propane or the winds are too high Someday we will actually make a balloon jump but for now we must be the most experienced ground crew ever (4 attempts I believe) And I must say it looks like a lot of fun from the GROUND!!!

Professor 0 #11 April 7, 2005 For anyone who is interested and qualified, Paul is sending us the Sugar Glider demo for the boogie as well, which should fit anyone between 5'8" and 6'1", and hopefully we can get some flocking in with it, too. There's going to be a pretty wild assortment of suits there, looks like. Ted Like a giddy school girl. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voodew1 0 #12 April 7, 2005 I got dibs on the SG for the high attitude load. He should probably send it early so we can make sure it is still airworthy! If we can get a Matter and an Sfly we could pretty much have every manufacture in one flock!!

douggie 0 #16 April 8, 2005 Stop being a pussy and come out to a tower with me. Shit, I will even let you ride the elevator! No trampling through cow pastures, guaranteed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor 0 #17 April 8, 2005 QuoteBirdMan will be there as well with demo suits, pantz, etc. Fuck pantz. Bring a blade. Everybody else is bringing cutting edge stuff. Even if the prototype doesn't fit you, it'll still fit me or voodew. It should be ready by July, right? Ted Like a giddy school girl. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doug at this point I think you would have much better luck working on Ted as I am a pussy and don't have the sack for BASE - Ted on the other hand isn't very bright and you might be able to talk him into it. Just bring your base rig to skyfest - you can jump it from the powered parachute being its not a tail numbered aircraft right????? I will watch from the ground I'll let you know when the Vampires get here so you can come give it a whirl.

Due to the silence - I am guessing that the blade is a no show I have heard thru the grapevine that there will be a PF instructors course held at skyfest and the price is well ......... much less than BM's (price to be quoted at a later date)and PF is coming to Texas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats interesting, I wonder what training program PF has. And who is "certified" to give training for those suits. The V1 is what I would consider an advanced suit, and no one should be jumping it unless they have prior wingsuit experience... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voodew1 0 #21 April 12, 2005 Well the US instructor/examiner is Scaryperry and as for first flights there is the prodigy and the intermediate suit is getting closer from what I hear. The V1 is an advanced suit and not designed to be a first jump suit as you know. Prices will be first jump : Suit rental 10 bucks, first flight briefing 20 bucks, if you want video and stills and someone is available, slot plus 25. Pics put on cd, unedited video and short debrief!! Dubbed to a VHS tape if equipment is available. Basically all PF instructors will be instructing to further wingsuit flight only - not to make money off other experienced jumpers who want to join us.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #22 April 12, 2005 QuoteThose wanting to take first flights with Phoenix Fly will pay .......... well ........ less How in the world do you have any idea if that is an accurate statement? Do you control boogie pricing for either of the two companies? I didn't think so. Boogie participants looking to get first flight should just know that All instruction at that boogie will cost exactly the same. Some people would like to think there is some anymosity between BirdMan and Phoenix Fly. They are mistaken. As to the question of what BirdMan suits will be present, I will be bringing every suit I have available to me. Chuck Blue D-12501 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If this were the case, then what is the $20 for the briefing for? Or the $25 fee for the video and stills? Be safe.
