Oh man...organizers would "love" you for doing that.

LOL. They would probably love me for doing that rather than floating away like I do.
I used to jump on a 4-way team of all women. The best part about it was, I dialed in my skills with women of similar fall rates. I didn't have to wear much lead and my progression rocked by jumping with the same people and having goals, etc.

QuoteYou've got the experience now if you hook up with a good mentor out there. I know of a few totally rad flyers at Perris if you are serious about flying a wingsuit.
Although I have the jump numbers I don't think I have the experience, I have been a really slow learner. Yeah, we've got great people at Perris and when I'm ready I'll hook up with one of them.

Yeah, that's the thing, if I jump with people with similar fall rates I have no problem, can turn lots of points, but when I'm trying to match fall rates with someone I can't possibly catch up to the dive goes to hell and I get totally frustrated.

That was my problem until just relatively recently in my skydiving career, but in reverse, I would drop out of the sky away from formations. It took some good coaching and a good jumpsuit to fix it.

QuoteYou try having the tunnel guys doing a speed drill with you? Having them turn the wind up and trying to hover in the same spot as the wind gets faster? You can learn a lot in the tunnel, even outside mantis.
I just recently did 1 1/2 hours of tunnel time during a 4 way camp but we didn't do the speed drill. I'll have to try that next time I'm in the tunnel.

I sometimes forget that it can be just as hard for fast falling people to fall slower since I've never had that problem.
