No Shit, there I was . . .

[turtlespeed 226]

And it was an AWESOME visual.

I doubt if it was a true first for the WS community, but if it is - I'd like to know.
(Take for granted that this was our first dive, and that a lot of things have been rethought for the next one.)

I carry a large amount of surface area in the wings of my Camera suit, so I called upon some wingsuit flyers to buzz me - and they did - and it was intense - and it was a little scary - But most of all, amazing and beautiful.

So we did some dirt diving and saftey prep . . . then off we went.

I left the tail gate and with a 1 ec. delay the four WS did too.(I won't comment on how, just that they did)

It was Fukn cool. A little scary. The videos do NOT do justice to what was actually there.

Things I learned:
1) Nex time it should be ONE circle of friends
2) Don't just hold the camera on heading.
3) Take the auto focus off the still camera.
4) With practice at the same dive - closeness can be achieved.

That being said - I do realise it was dangerous. We ALL knew the risks, we accepted them, and we did the dive conservatively. Please don't turn this into a flame fest - i just wanted to brag a little.

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

The boogie just ended - I'll work on it - I got only On or Maybe two shots on the still that are worth looking at.

The video I can steal some screen shots from.

That it was. And you couldn't even see all the zooming around that was going on behind you.

Hey, my exit was stable.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what was going on. You were falling vertically, slow, with your camera wings and they were flying their suits around you? Or something else?

Turtle was fallin as slow has possible straight down (100mph) belly to earth with his camera suit fully extended.

The four of us were playing Wing Awround the Turtle

arch/dive down fly by turn around and do it again-

Next time we will set up slightly lower go by closer and much faster

No, you understand pretty well. He jumped out and flew a base, and we all buzzed past him, maded a big circle, and buzzed past him again. Fun and stupid all at once. What more could you want?

edit: Damn, Voodew beat me too it. No mor e speel chekcnig fro me.
