QuoteDo you numbers guys ever get any actual fun out of jumps, or is it all just advanced math and bitching about the crotch of a suit being 3 cm's too short and badly designed inlets causing bad inflation (due to being covered by a loosely worn rig/cheststrap
)
Not since 2005. No fun, not in a big suit anyway.
I am sure somewhere Ed's head is exploding. If you want to talk about my issues with suits feel free to PM me.
As for your comment
QuoteA lot of people doing their first flight dont do all that well in terms of performance. But when they come down screaming about how awesome the feeling of flying was...should my answer be "Dude..rrrrright..that wasnt even close to a 1.5 glideratio, and my grandmother does better on a bad wednesday while flying into a headwind"? As that is sometimes the feeling some of these posts tend to air..
Bad example.
You are responding to an image of "Kriz and Yuri" you have in your head. Not what was written.
And about your head...Don't even want to go there...a pic of Maccas wingsuit and some dildos come to mind.

QuoteThe feeling you land with, the feeling you have when you think about your last jump, and the dreams that last jump (or I should say 'flight') gives you at night is a 1000 times more important then the exel sheet with numbers that rolls out of your GPS.
When it comes to BASE big wall tracking that feeling is only so good when you when the guy you jumped with just smoked you and won't stop rubbing it in.
If numbers will help you fly farther and fast then so help me God, pass me the calculator!!

He did a FFC with us, but wasn't that impressed with the glide ratio of wingsuits for some reason and has gone back to just doing tracking. He even gets his own jump run to make sure he doesn't overshoot the dz.
I still think he should get into wingsuiting... he could kick some serious ass if he tried a little longer.
