WOW!!!!!! IF you haven't, you need to! I haven't had that much fun in a long time! Kim from birdman is here at Perris this weekend with Demo suits. She is an awesome instructor. She took me on my firt jump. Watching her fly around and then dokcing on me was cool! Did a two way after that with my friend Dana (it was her second jump as well) we even managed to dock. The forward speed is amazing! Once again if you haven't tried it you really shoud!

Congrats on the jumps....I remember my first birdman jump and when I landed I knew right then that jump was going to be a very expensive one. I ordered my suit the next week. $17 for the skydive and $700 for the new suit.....But after jumping it now for almost a year it's been worth it.

See? That's why I'm scared to jump one. I know I'm gonna hafta get one.

Heard that a couple of other people got bit by the wingsuit bug at Perris on Friday too... and now they don't even want to wait the eight weeks it takes to get a new one.

I know what you mean... I just PM'd Chuck to find out just how wide the fit range is if I buy a used one (I hate buying new stuff if I can avoid it). I'm going to have to find a wingsuit demo session, too

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Check it!! The Raeford crew made a 8 way Flock and then finished the day with a 9 way flock with Jari. So far we have been putting at least a 6 way out on just about every load. The flock is growing big time at Raeford. Jari blessed off on me and I am now a BMI(insert motivational music here) I have since converted 3 people to the flock with one getting trained today. I am also happy to announce that 3 of the 4 I have trained are women, so the flock is becoming more female friendly every day now Today looks like another awesome day and the new birds are hitting it like a crack addict hits the pipe. We are not sucking in Raeford!!

What license/qualification do you need to try BM?

I may be gullible but at least I have a magic fish

Bird Man recomends ~200 jumps to start training with a fully qualified instructor.
