mixedup 0 #1 July 1, 2011 just curious - you see the skydiver on wingsuiter in rodeo style videos - how do they get into this position? Like do they jump out with the skydiving holding the wingsuiter? If not is a wingsuiter able to hold their arms/legs in and match a normal skydive fall rate until the skydiver docks? cheersParachutist Game IOS Android YouT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 5 #3 July 1, 2011 Watch from 1:50 You can see the exit. Skydiver holds the yoke of the wingsuiter. A gainer exit is also excellent for wingsuit rodeos (providing the aircraft allows for it). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This started off as a rodeo from the aircraft with the skydiver intentionally getting off and then getting back on while in freefall. http://www.dropzone.com/photos/Detailed/Personal/Birdman_RW_15_112852.html http://www.dropzone.com/photos/Detailed/Personal/Birdman_RW_16_112853.html http://www.dropzone.com/photos/Detailed/Personal/Birdman_RW_18_112855.html http://www.dropzone.com/photos/Detailed/Personal/Birdman_RW_17_112854.html http://www.dropzone.com/photos/Detailed/Personal/Birdman_RW_14_112851.html"It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
