Probably submarines before nuclear.

I was in a 3-way once with me flat and two sit-flyers.

I think that puts me in first place so far.

4 way for me! i was 1 of two danglers!

Look out for the freefly team, Smelly Peppers. Once we get a couple years more experience we will be a force to be reckoned with in the near future! BLUES!

We did a 100-way with two sitflyers. Also an 80? way with Eli in the center sitflying with a tube. (See attached.)

Tried a 22-way with an 8-flat base at Couchfreaks. Don't know the actual number because it was only one attempt. Brad at Skyventure might know as they were organizing.

I'm going to offer the definition of a hybrid as a formation that falls faster than belly speeds through the use of flyers docked on belly flyers in a vertical orientation.

You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I think you might want to add in the word "intentionally" somewhere, otherwise I can think of a number of funneled skydives that might count.

Such as yeyo's offering? That looks like that magical one point in time just before the zoo happems.

My reality and yours are quite different.

Sort of like a vSCR attempt I was on a few years ago where the other hanger and I punched out into a stand at slightly different speeds. The 6-way base stood completely on its side before it blew up. Quite the visual to see that all coming over the top of you. This happened right at break-off, so the other hanger was launched into a very nice and fast track!

hahah , maybe you are not understanding whats happening there...

Its a 4way belly base, with 4 headdown hangers, and 2 sitflyers hanging from the headdown hangers...so its a 3 level hybrid. And it flew quite well, the only thing missing from the original plan are the stingers.
I took the pic, btw.

Wasn't it a 104 way, with Mike Swanson and Jon Devore sitting in the rooms?

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Yeah, that was the first one. I have the stills of that one somewhere.

Sweet! Looks like a lot of belly fliers wishing they knew how to SIT, lol

I am pretty certain he meant that he didn't know how many made it into the formation. Nothing unsafe about that, you should try asking questions rather then assuming.

You say this based on what? Your extensive experience with 20-ways?

What's the difference if it was 22, 24 or even 34? All of them are too big for you to be counting jumpers or canopies, and this is where you count on your skill, experience and training for both freefalling and flying a canopy in a crowd (provided you have those things).

This is why skydivers spend time jumping, and learning, and developing skills, so they can achieve a level of proficiency and get invited onto larger, more technical jumps.

Maybe you should hold your comments until another newbie wants to lie to a DZO and jump a wing suit well before the BSR permits, as that seems to be your area of expertise.

You say this based on what? have you seen me jump?!!!

Don't need to see you jump. Your comment alone is testimony to your level of knowledge (and presumably) experience with jumps of that size.

There is no BSR for wingsuits
