ncfitzge 0 #1 September 21, 2005 Been interested in learning how to fly a wing suit. Can anyone give me a good website to look at or have any other good suggestions. For example, like in FF you need to learn head up before HD. What do I need to learn before I try wings? Thanks for the help.#148 Sonic Scrat "Have you ever kissed a rabbit between the eyes?"

Professor 0 #2 September 21, 2005 This is a good website , along with www.flybirdman.com. Also, check out the manufacturer websites: www.phoenix-fly.com www.bird-man.com www.flyyourbody.com www.jii-wings.com www.matterclothing.com Phoenix Fly, Bird Man and Fly Your Body all have excellent user manuals which talk about the way the suits rig up and work, and also about body position. Do a bunch of tracking dives. Practice flat tracking and the wingsuit deployment position. Most importantly, talk to your local flockers and get their ideas about what you need to be doing. Get training and advice from them. Ted Like a giddy school girl. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
medusa 0 #3 September 21, 2005 you may want to focus on tracking, big tracking ways, and try to get your fall rate slower. get at least 200 jumps and you are redy to go.

Basjkall 0 #5 September 21, 2005 Wake up! Whats this talk about flat tracking and all? Flat is out, flat is slow and wrong! My advise is, regardles of if your tracking or in a wingsuit, speed is the key! Double the speed and you quadruple the lift! flat=stalling, steep=speed and lift The day can learn that and fly with straight legs and steeper and in formation, then you will fly insted of stalling around the skies Learn from the freeflyers, look at their tracking jumps. Why do you think they track like they do instead of flat? Speed is controll... http://www.tollmuth.com/html/video/baseteaser.mpg Watch and learn..

Professor 0 #6 September 21, 2005 You misunderstood me. When I say 'flat', I'm refering to glide. He needs to practice tracking and manuvering in an efficient body position, and not in a suck ass student diving delta track. And please believe me when I tell you, I'm all about forward speed. Nothing bothers me more than playing 'stall wars' with some floaty fucker. Cool vid. I've got a 'track or die' vid that I think is the same guy (espen). Balls of rock. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

With them monstersuits big as sails your starting to look like some anyway.. Well i guess is really funny to float from a to b as slow as possible playing "stall wars".. Ok, enough bullshit from me, people like different flyingstyles, and I guess thats ok! Adios, WeflyUcanhardlymoveforward... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SkymonkeyONE 4 #17 September 22, 2005 Huh? I don't know, man. In my 800+ wingsuit flights I have done some very slow flying and some very, very fast flying. I chase a lot of students around the sky and the ability to do both is exactly what I need (and what I have). Your experience may vary if you pigeon-hole yourself into only one wingsuit usage.

My favorite part of any group dive is going out last, diving hard to the formation, and feeling the G's as I put on the brakes and change from one mode of flight to another.
