Greetings from Stupino!

[unclecharlie95 3]

The 2007 Stupino Wingsuit Boogie is going very well.
We have focused on small groups so far to work on skills. The MI8 heli is just for us and we have been making use of the tailgate too

Competition starts tomorrow. If you have visited trackingderby.com recently you will know the local flyers here have been practicing _a lot_ and will take some beating!

In a lot of wind. 237km/h is the average for the leader.

Will be interesting to see what he does in the glide competition.

Great photos James- wish I could have been there again this year - especially with the tailgates open on the helicopters! Good luck to everyone in the competition!

Yeah holy crap 237 km/h. Very very impressive. Hey James, what were the conditions they were flying in (wind, for example)? And why all of a sudden so many people from Russia on trackingderby? Is it because they didn't know about it, or did they only recently get GPSes to track and upload data with? Very cool at any rate. I'm hella impressed.

Have fun in Russia!

Cheers,

Costyn.

There are quite a few wingsuit pilots now at Stupino and it seems a glide ratio frenzy has taken grip!

Some dedicated training and friendly competition has brought some interesting results, even when you factor in wind.

On route home now and a little sad to leave, was an excellent boogie. Good people, good jumps and a lot of laughing (mainly thanks to Max )

Will post some more photos later and there should be enough footage for a short edit.

Thank you to Valery, Natasha, all the jumpers and everyone at Stupino dropzone for the great times.

Can you explain the score in the Alti-2 time competion?

O.k, assumed that the time competition was a slow fall competition. Its just a trackingderby type competition judged on distance.

sunny, warm :) medium winds. 3-7 m/s (on the ground, not sure about the winds at the altitude)

trackingderby and gps flight logging are not that popular in russia. And the trackingderby was used this time to summarize and store the data of the competition. So you can see all the competitors there

yes, altitude to time was judged using tracking derby, and the winner is being determined by best distance/GR with first 15 seconds cut and 90 seconds for the race itself.

altitude to distance was measured as distance in 3600meters to 1600meters corridor, so it's basically just GR :)

Love the pics, the helo exits are great !!!

Next year we are planning on a European Wingsuit vacation, Stupino is on the list.

It looks like the Stupino event was quite the success. I am absolutly shocked to see the amount of wingsuit flyers at the Stupino dz. I hope to see you in Russia next year.

Why am i not surprized?

Does this finally settle the best gliding suit debate?

Probably not unless you look at the % of suits by make. It would be interesting to see the complete list of positions and the suits used, from all competitors.

Not all the suits were represented

Hopefully next year it will be different.
