bps 0 #1 October 26, 2002 Ok. I can't hold back any longer. I'm an experienced skydiver and BASE jumper...and have long been fascinated with wingsuit flight. For one reason or another, I never got around to ordering one, that is, until the twofer deal came out. In the meantime, I read *every* single post in this forum, and have since talked extensively with several friends who fly wingsuits reguraly. I'll have my suit in a month or so and am bursting at the seams knowing that another dimension of human flight will soon begin. I didn't want to post until it came, but I can't hold it in any longer -- so "hello" fellow Birdmen! I can't wait to join you in the big blue sky. C-ya soon!

SkyFlyer 0 #2 October 27, 2002 Bryan- We met at the Perrine several months ago. There is a small (but dedicated) group of flyers here in Atlanta. If you make in down here, e-mail me and we'll get some flights in. Baxter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blair700 0 #3 October 28, 2002 Bryan, I too am fascinated as I sit here awaiting my first wingsuit....any day now. Let me know if you make it to see the guy in Atlanta, I'm about 4 hours from there East, would love some company in the sky....and eventually on wind-through fixed objects have fun brother!

kevin922 0 #4 October 28, 2002 Bryan - When did you put your order in? I'm so excited Kim told me my new baby should be here THIS WEEK!!! Woohoo! And damn, it's getting cold too :( Maybe I should go to ATL to make some jumps. What kind of plane you guys use Skyflyer? Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #5 October 29, 2002 Last time I was there, ASC had an Otter called "Pedophilia", a Caravan, and a Porter. I will be there from this Thursday until who knows, sometime after the swoop meet is over. I will have both of my suits with me. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cpoxon 0 #8 October 29, 2002 Quotep.s. Did you see my terrifying H20 landing..... now that's a major No-No in a Wing-Suit.!!! As in a water landing, or actually using BR's round canopy? Now there's an idea, jumping a wingsuit with a round. How do those things deploy in a track? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyFlyer 0 #9 October 29, 2002 Chuck's right, we have a nice Otter at ASC and several wingsuit instructors, myself and Steve-O. Regarding the round and wingsuit, I saw Bill Stampfle (sp.) wing-it from Smellvegan in Norway last year and land in the water with a round. Good opening and great jump.

bps 0 #10 October 30, 2002 Thanks to everyone for their replies! Baxter -- Of course I remember you from the Perrine. I would love to meet up with you sometime for some winged flights. I travel quite a bit...so I'll surely take you up on the offer and look forward to the opportunity! blair700 -- I'll most certainly make it your way too, and the same applies should you ever travel to Colorado....winged and/or fixed object flight... Kevin -- I placed my order on August 12th. Birdman ran out of my color choice in Atmotex and I've chosen to wait for that color to come in. (On a side note...I've found Birdman to have *excellent* customer service considering that they have given me several different options -- thanks Kim!) Jay -- man, I can't wait to join you when the time is right. I saw the video...excellent job dealing with the situation! I look forward to many flights together. This weekend looks like a no go for me...this demo program has the hooks in me pretty deep and I have lots of plans this weekend. I'll shoot you an email with more info... Blue Skies, Bryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bps 0 #12 October 31, 2002 They ran out of White Atmotex. But just so you know, Kim gave us plenty of other options that would have gotten the suits here quickly, but we decided to wait for our colors. (white atmotex and white wings) Bryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
