unclecharlie95 3 #27 June 27, 2006 Agreed *cough* I would like to say a big thank you to BJ, Natalia, German, Loic, Perry, Hans (Chief Judge ) and everyone at the Stupino dropzone for making the event so much fun. We started the event with 3 small flocks lead by Loic, Perry and myself. By the end of the day we combined the groups together to make a nice 20+ way. Loic organised the big ways, whilst Perry and myself took video/photo. We progressed to formation Turbo Let loads with upto 35 jumpers The competition rounds took longer than planned due to bad weather and some technical problems. Hans will post the results asap. Many loads were made from an MI8 helicopter, a nice change but the side door was quite small for launching flocks. Unfortunately the MI8 with tail gate was out of action for maintenance Fly your body, Bird Man, Matter and Phoenix-Fly were represented at the event so there was a great range of demo suits available In total there were about 45 wingsuit pilots in attendance from France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Italy, England, Austria, Canada, Ukraine, America, Denmark, Finland and Russia. Stupino 2006 was a great success, 2007 will be even better!BASEstore.it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redfox 0 #30 June 27, 2006 That Loic joined this Boogie was the best what could happen to us! He is not only a great flyer, he is a great teacher too! We learned a lot from him, the way he organized the big ways helped us to make the flocking happen, fun and save! His advice to "fly your (our) body" was very helpful. His flying skills are very impressive - he showed a video where he docked to the wing of a sailplane! So a really big "THANK YOU!" to Loic, Zun, and all the nice flyers at Stupino! It would be great to see all this people again at Stupino in 2007! The taxi drive back to airport at sunday was, uhmmm - an experience - but I got my plane! Thanks to all people who made this possible! Herwig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandro_B 0 #33 June 27, 2006 Thanks from the German's to Natalia, German, BJ and Hans for the organization. Also thanks to James and Loïc for hints that really improved my flying and flocking skills. As I was later in the big way base than Susanne I have to go now redeeming my bet and making the meal. Cheers, Sandro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gadget 0 #38 June 28, 2006 Just to react on to the technical problem. We had to borrow several Neptune's from the participants after we decided that ,because of the not working GPS repeaters in the plane, we would score the timeevent with neptunes.My copy of Paralog would only download from two of them because of serialnumberlimitations. It took only one phonecall and one email to get a unlimited version from Klaus and Paralog was operating again to full satisfaction, so i would like to thank Klaus for his verry swift support and solution to our problem.

The111 1 #39 June 28, 2006 So the time was measured from 3700m to 1400m also? Looks like the winners averaged in the mid/low 40's (mph, stupid English units I'm accustomed to). I don't feel so bad about anymore my times on long solos (still haven't broken 160 seconds, about 46mph average). I hear so much talk about people who can pull low-30's averages, and 3:30+ flights. Extrapolating Loic's performance to a "normal" skydive (13,500ft - 2,000ft) barely reaches the 3 minute mark (assuming constant fatigue-free performance over the final minute). I have always assumed people exaggerate their performance a little. This contest shows what people are really capable of. Considering Loic's talent, experience, and perhaps most importantly his bird-like build, I am very happy with my 46mph avg against his 41.

JohanW 0 #40 June 28, 2006 Congrats to all, esp. my fellow Dutchman Tristan. I seem to remember him as a featherweight though - has he put on enough to be classed as heavy now?Johan. I am. I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unclecharlie95 3 #41 June 28, 2006 Yes Matt, Loics time flight was 179sec, V avg 40mph. Johan, Tristan has put on some weight living in Italy, his ears have grown BASEstore.it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakee 1,489 #42 June 28, 2006 Damn, looks like Loic didn't just win, he won by a lot!I've got to admit, I never quite believed the "Its the pilot not the suit" argument - but this is definitely changing my mind. Now, who's got more photos (and a video, pretty please)Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tr027 0 #44 June 28, 2006 I'm curious as to why James chose the Phantom as his weapon of choice. Perhaps because it is a marathon, not a sprint, so fatigue and energy available are very much factors."The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.

tr027 0 #47 June 28, 2006 I would say in a way it did, considering you were the only flyer on the podiums with an intermediate suit!

Costyn 1 #48 June 28, 2006 QuoteThat was the idea, but it didn't work! Okay, I'm confused. Phoenix Fly Vampire wingsuit is made for performance yes? And yet in a competition where it's all about performance you (as PF representative) don't use a Vampire (V1 or V2) to compete with because it's too exhausting?
