SkymonkeyONE 4 #2 June 21, 2002 Oregon, eh? Not sure if I know any BM-I's up that way, but I am sure there are some. The hot ticket would be to hit one of the boogies that one of us will be at this summer. Rob and his posse are at Elsinore, CA. Yes, that's a haul, but it's certainly closer than here or Deland. Go to the www.bird-man.com website and look under "tour". See when the next thing you might possibly make is. chuckAre you a Monkey or a Flunky?

Macaulay 0 #3 June 22, 2002 Do you ever get out to Skydive Oregon? Three jumpers just ordered a wingsuit to share, and I ordered one for myself (both GTis). Don't know if he's a BM-I, but Dwayne is a very current and experienced skyflyer with close ties to Birdman, and he will be giving us coached jumps.There's also a lot you can learn just from talking to a guy like him and then doing drills.- Mac Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #4 June 22, 2002 I've got the funniest video of him shooting the wires of a 1600' tower on a wingsuit. Let me see if I can find it...--Tom Aiellotbaiello@mac.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macaulay 0 #5 June 22, 2002 Yeah, where he opened about twenty damn feet off the ground. That was one of the BASE jumps I've ever seen. DJ went off on that one, Dwayne flew his ass off, low-deploy, cactus collison. It was great. ;)- Mac Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TALONSKY 0 #7 June 26, 2002 Hi Drew: Terry, Jim Steffeck an I ordered a GTI about three weeks ago. It is measured to fit me so I am not sure how it would fit you. Birdman said it would be between 6 and 8 weeks for delivery. If you would like to try it out come on up to Skydive Oregon sometime after that. We, three are asking $10.00 per jump for anyone that would like to try it. Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
