Basjkall 0 #4 February 25, 2008 Thats not landing a wing suit, its more like falling in a bag down a shaft. Could also be done without the suit. The aerodynamics of the body without a rig will also be something to consider. Tests show a significant drop in lift. Maybe a month or two proximity flying cliffs will get him the nessecary skills and feeling with hitting/avoiding obsticals...? The Rio stunt was cool, but showed a big lack in understanding wingsuit flight in proximity. No offense.. Flying with a lot more hotizontal speed, less angel of attack and a different design of the tube/slide, would be my choice. The current setup is my last choice for sure. But, good luck!....

kevin922 0 #6 February 26, 2008 I was amazed of the live coverage on this jump.. the video came in pretty much crystal clear (there were times of some snow and static but not much) and his audio during freefall was perfect. I'm really wanting to know the technical aspects behind making all of that work (the equipment used, etc) his camera guy in freefall was streaming video as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can judge for yourself: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/#23350995 I thought they did a good job of not over blowing it and it came across as a positive thing. Jeb seemed to present himself well and will probably get some more financing out if it. Scott C."He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chief 0 #12 February 26, 2008 I thought it was well presented and overall positive for Jeb and the sport. Hopefully it will gain him some funding. Job well done! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peggs82 0 #13 February 26, 2008 Air to ground communication overall was excellent!! I was very impressed also with the live video feeds as well. Laughed my ass off watching jeff n exit on his back.... I was suprised jeff... thought you would be under them both for the footage on your back! While I still think the landing idea is more than silly, and not exactly landing in a true from, I am happy for the positive coverage for the sport in general, and wingsuiting specifically that it is generating!
