AggieDave 6 #1 December 2, 2002 I tried a couple speed dives this weekend, since my headdown really sucks, they didn't go as well as I had liked, but I was able to get a bit of speed on the two dives (even though I was only stable for a couple thousand feet on both of them). Dive one: max speed 254mph average 189mph Dive two: max speed 265mph average 209mph. The pro-track was set to TAS and in my helmet, so the numbers could be off, and I was in jeans and a t-shirt for both. I'm going to work on normal HD skills for the next while and then see what I can do. Anyone interested in holding a fastest man contest at Eloy or is there one going on with the boogie? It might be fun to try.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

base698 20 #5 December 2, 2002 Why not have a fast/slow contest? Take the difference of your fastest and slowest speeds on the same dive. We did that once. It can be fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #8 December 2, 2002 You can, there was a video of a guy doing that post here a while back. That would be one hell of a cork, though...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Staso 0 #9 December 2, 2002 Quote How in the hell did you do that?!?!?!!?! i didn't know you could head down with a wing suit on!! try to go to full track at almost 300 mph. you carry so much speed that it's more then enough to slow you down below regular 120 mph. my slowest was 41 mph in all nylon tony pit special w/o grippers. i can fell that i get almost unstable due to the low speed -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ...
