k2xblade

oh ya? thats cool, I bought the blade i have off of someone in the UK, dont remember the name though, supposedly its one of the early prototypes of the blade. I love it, but like everyone else i'm itching for a V4

awesome stuff jeb, pay no mind to the haters....its their job...

Had the opportunity to jump with some guys at elsinore last tuesday. I know some of them are on here, here's the vid. Good luck with the record this weekend. I may come down to check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXQTpC1zZpU

you didnt attack me, i know this place is honest, i wasnt expecting a "sure your fine go jump it", i expected the answers i got but maybe not in such a rude "your an idiot" type of way

geez.. i know i KNOW tunnel time does not apply to wingsuiting.....i was just letting you know my experience in there so someone (who's nice) could give me accurate advice anyways.....point taken...nothing else needed, thanks ...an that shoe store thing is totally different, the blade has been and will be stored for awhile...i got the picture, wasnt plannin on putting it on this weekend

i was talking about my first post, but yes your right i asked afterwards, i stand corrected. And yes i have read those but i thought asking couldnt hurt (boy was i wrong), but some of those fatalities are mistakes i cant believe people would make...forget to put your leg straps on?? Does that happen a lot? Again i speak from no experience....obviously I wasnt trying to be billy badass "Oh i've got tunnel time i can jump it now" i was simply stating my experience and what was on my mind so i could get some advice, why attack me? this place is vicious

yes i've read about those and many others already. I wasnt asking how many jumps do i need, i know thats in the FAQs, i was just getting advice on my situation...... anyways, this is getting repetitive, thanks to those who gave me good input, hope to see you flying one day

ok thank you, this is what i was looking for..... again, i never said i was going to jump it at 50, 75, or even 100 jumps, i was just looking for advice i also never said i was against getting another beginner wingsuit and flying that first. You shouldnt assume things, an i also never said i had "mad skillz" blah blah blah, just that i have some body flight experience...blah blah blah, and everyone is different an with this "use the search function" i realize you guys are tired of hearing the same thing over an over, but if people only searched, then whats a forum for? Theres not that many new posts, so why not get some people talking. Judging from the number of responses in the short amount of time this thread was up you guys were dying to say somethin. Anyway, thanks for this post...im not trying to be a danger to anyone, my question just had different variables so i thought i'd ask.......wont be making that mistake again... [edit] and Dragon2 sorry you misunderstood my first post, but im not sure i understand "with an attitude like yours", i asked trying to get advice, never saying forget what everyone else says im jumping, and you came back and attacked for no reason, i wasnt trying to start anything.....no more questions outta me, dont worry

He's asking advice, nothing dumb about that. He SAYS he's asking for advice but also says he's gonna jump it anyway, basically, then asks for opinions of wingsuiters, well he's got mine. I'm not reading this as an honest question or asking for advice, had I done so my reply would've been different. However all I'm seeing is the "I've got mad skillz" that's been so popular lately, and he tops all I've seen so far with having just 35 jumps and having bought a Blade already (who sold him the suit anyway). Seriously, am I the only one who thinks "troll" here Also since he's not seen replying to any of this although granted that may have other reasons. i never said i'm GOING to jump it anyway, i'm def not jumping it at jump 36, i'm going to wait until i have more, i was simply seeking advice an there was no topic on this with the search feature, oh an the reason i havent replied is because i was unconscious....aka sleeping, so get off ur fuckin high horse, i dont want/care about your advice/opinion anyway To everyone else, thanks for your help. I should've stated that i'm definitely not jumping it now, the only reason i bought it was because i would have never found a deal like that on the suit i wanted that fit me perfectly. That being said i know i dont have the "air" time, i said that already, but 200 jumps just seems so far away to me right now, i try to jump every weekend, an just wearing the suit around my apt is killing me anybody think that 100-150 jumps is unreasonable?

Whats up everyone. I know that people say to have a min 150-200 jumps etc before you try a wingsuit. But heres my dilemma I work at a windtunnel, i've got a few hours flying in there, i'm a pretty good freeflyer, i've got about 35 jumps, i'm able to freefly in the sky pretty good. I know 35 jumps isnt a lot of "air" time, but bodyflight wise i've got lots of time. I recently bought a Birdman Blade suit, i know its a more advanced suit, but its the one i really like and eventually wanted, plus i found it for super super cheap, and it fits me perfectly, so i had to jump on the deal. So now i have this wingsuit, and i really dont want to wait until i have 200 jumps to fly it, but i'm not trying to say "oh i'm a good flyer forget what everyone else says ill jump it now" Anyway, just looking for some advice, I definitely am going to look for someone to help coach me at the dz, just thought i'd get some opinions here from some experienced wingsuiters. Thanks guys.
