Looks like a knees together and bent, back to earth every which way mostly head down tumble. Not even remotely a flat spin of any significant centrifugal magnatude but thanks for posting it..... next
I've been in a flat-spin (belly to earth) and a side-spin. Neither was tumbling. Both got faster and faster. If my hypothesis is correct then I'll be able to get video.

Please do.
I've got tons of video of head down carves, arched half loops with continuous heading changes, tumbles and take outs galore. I'm looking forward to seeing a video of real death defying flat spin in a wingsuit. The kind that had plenty of wingsuit people scared to try new stuff for years.

Death defying ...
I don't think so. I haven't defied death three times. You get yourself into a spin and you get yourself out, that's what it's all about. Oh, it's also about sharing how you got yourself out (so people have more things to try than cutting away their arm wings or worse, pulling).
PS: Malcom, was I tumbling during the spin or was I just side-spinning? I remember just side-spinning but you had a better view ...

Dude,
track out of a flatspin. close your arm and leg wings. arch and track. This will do several things. First if you are in a flatspin and ball up you fall out quickly and violently. a track out will send you out with minimal altitude loss. If you are in the sky with others and you ball up you change vertical direction VERY quickly. like when a freeflier "corks" out.
I f the track method does not work then ball up and use the method that currently works, but im telling you tracking out will stop the spin quicker and safer.

Thanks. I'll try it. Also, I'm keeping in mind the change in vertical speeds when I'm trying new things (especially with others). As far as recovering, my methods have worked (fairly quickly) so far but I'm always open to trying new methods.

When I think of flat spin I'm talking, like I experienced without a wingsuit, a dizzying but constant turn rate that locks your body flat and prevents recovery.
Then stop being lazy and find the other outside videos of flat spins on SM.com. We've only discussed this topic for about the last 6 years, some of the threads you've posted to in fact. Flat spins can happen and the earth really is round, whether you believe it or not.

I have searched most of the SM WS videos and still have not seen a true flat spin. You are right I have been posting my lack of faith that they exist for years. You can call me lazy but I just don't believe you..... and I'd much rather just post pics of my -new to me- SM1 under the pic posting protocols set forth by BDrake. Feel free to slap a Campos on there. Don't be lazy
YAWN......

Glen, s'OK. With your looks, you need all the vanity points you can get. Besides, that suit makes you ass look smaller.

I watched this particular jump from above also in some what of a ball to keep up with him. It started off as a bit of a carving spiral, but then progressed into a fetal position side spin. After watching it I thought a possible solution would be to arch out of it and then extend arms. However due to my *extreme* lack of any meaningful experience that idea might have been the worst.

I doubt it is the worst. I'm still thinking about trying it if I can induce the side-spin again.
PS: I'm glad that last flight went so well because it was my 100th wingsuit flight. Next time we need to plan for more overs and unders though ...

It also looked like today might have had some jumps available. Oh well I guess. The ten day forecast doesn't look good. Hope for the best.

Sounds exactly like what you should do. We really need some footage of a real spin and not just footage of tumbling poor airmanship ( that we've all experienced from time to time) . That spin talk scare people and needlessly so.

dude everything is a vanity purchase. but thats a nice one, and those stripes really do slim down your figure!
flat spins don't exist! at the best we are talking of a semantic disagreement. more likely its a metaphysical conflict on the nature of human flight.
