tobi778 0 #1 June 19, 2003 Hey everyone, the big day is near! I have decided to join the BM training at the Parasummer boogie in Estonia the first week of July. I'm very excited!!! Can't wait to do the bird thing :) Is there anything special I should bear in mind during the first flights, and what kind of jumps would be good to train prior to the BM training?

jari 0 #2 June 19, 2003 Hi Toby, the best way to train for the wingsuit jump is to get out there and simulate a flight without the wingsuit. Exit in delta arch, look at the plane. Turn first 90 degrees and make some symmetrical practise pulls with both hands, don't forget to close your legs the same time. Then carry on your wingsuit simulation tracking dive, don't forget to check your altitude and see where you are going. Show wave off with your legs and pull like with the wingsuit, both hands under your BOC. Once you have done that couple of times you will feel much more like at home on your actual first wingsuit flight. long soars, JariJari "Hey, don't be afraid, ever. Because, it's just a ride."
