mnischalke 0 #1 March 10, 2004 No offense if you've done it. Yeah, you've probably seen it just about everywhere. I got to ask: Why does a jumper feel the need to take the full-on birdman pose the minute he/she's got the suit on and there's a camera pointed at them? Do I do a headstand or get into the sit pose every time someone snaps me with my freefly suit on? Do belly fliers assume the boxman when they see a camera? Seriously, what gives? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

quade 4 #7 March 10, 2004 Actually, that was but one of many threads where I've talked about the subject of looking dorky on the ground while wearing an advanced wingsuit. We really need to do some sort of research, maybe hire a choreographer to come up with a pose that both shows off the suits yet doesn't look stupid.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #9 March 10, 2004 Because both freefly and RW suits are fairly obvious in their function. Without showing the wings, people (even experienced skydivers) can totally miss the fact that the person is showing off their new BirdMan or Matter wingsuit.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mccordia 74 #13 March 10, 2004 I think (for wingsuiters) the pose™ is just a nice variation to the look, I'm an idiot™ pose that almost everyone (ADMIT IT!!!) has given a camera at the DZ every 'once in a while'....(try and find a video with freeflyers in it who don't give a peace sign/rock-on sign/the tongue™ or an insane smile.. It's called 'having fun'...I gues it all has to do with mommy not watching and stuff...JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
