tdog 0 #1 April 20, 2005 I am very interested in wingsuit flying, but with only 100 jumps I know I am not ready yet… But I want to start learning now, so if nothing else, I will know when I am ready. With that in mind - what would you guys recommend to someone as a learning progression??? What things can I practice now that will make a wingsuit easier to learn once I am actually using one? (Deployment, exits, tracking, etc.) What are the "prerequisites”? Is there a document somewhere that you guys could send me the link to that outlines the skills required and/or the recommended learning progression?

tdog 0 #4 April 20, 2005 The helmet and protrack are awesome... I have a huge (well not that huge, but considering its source I think it is huge) gash in the side from a super hard opening where the riser burned a slot in it... So glad I had it on, because I would not want to know what my ear would have looked like without it. Thanks for the link to the post about the Birdman learning process.

kansasskydiver 0 #5 April 20, 2005 Flat tracking like a mofo. Practice tracking dives, getting your body flat and stable. I don't have any cool links to post sorry<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Quote Thanks for the link to the post about the Birdman learning process. Keep in mind it can be used for any wingsuit you choose to fly, with minor changes after opening, such as unzipping arms or legs. Be safe.
