bigbearfng 18 #1 February 4, 2007 Got to jump the Perris jet today with my wingsuit. First time out of the jet. When I was lookin down on the tail I just couldn't stop the maniacal laughter!!!! I'm still grinin! It is $85.00 but damn it was worth it! If you get the chance don't pass it up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

birdynamnam 28 #3 February 4, 2007 must be a hell of an experience jumping from a passenger jet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites fmmobley 0 #4 February 9, 2007 Video?...

Nope, sorry, figured if I was goin for video on my first jet jump and with my wingsuit I'd for sure screw the exit and go tumblin like some other folk have!

The latest Parachutist cover shows regular jumpers coming out in all sorts of contortions.

Most important is make sure you are squarely facing front. It has short grab rails at the top of the "shute" that you can grab and swing around to face front before sliding out the short ramp. Then just ease open the wings when you clear and before you know it you'll be looking down at the tail. And it seems like you hang there a long time!
