This vid (compilation of my first 40 or so wingsuit jumps) has some shots of my 2nd wingsuit jump in there (red suit, white wings, funky helmet) about halfway in.
And I think some of Tristans first few jumps as well

So interesting that this video is you. I downloaded that around the 3rd week I started skydiving in 2005 sometime. Little did I know how much wingsuits and skydiving would change my life.

It was my jump 245 when I took my FFC with Joni on August 31, 2007 during Couch Freaks. Later that day I went solo for my 2nd WS jump wich happend to be a Pink Mafia load, and for some reason the pilot took the Skyvan to 16500'. I think 4 different girls flashed him. Thank you ladies, that felt like I flew to Canada and back to Iowa. Same boogie next year I did my 100th WS jump.

My first wingsuit flight was on July 3, 2008 with a Phoenix-Fly Phantom II out of a Cessna 206. I didn't have an instructor or a coach but I did have various manuals, videos, and this forum.

Summer 2001, Hanko, Finland
Jussi Laine asked jump numbers, gave a two minute briefing about attaching the suit and pulling and borrowed the S.U.I.T. Was in love with wingsuiting from the first flight.

I had similar first flight. C207 and Skyflyer 3 without any instructor and coach. But Then I had more than 600 jumps.

1999 Easter boogie at Carolina Skysports. I believe this was the first US boogie that Jari and Kim showed up at when they set up shop in the US. Kim Griffin actually trained my FFC.

First flight, late August 2008. BM Firebird, no coach, but some friendly advice from other DZ birds. Now have a little over 100 wingsuit jumps. Thanks to Chuck and the other Z-Flock and Flock U guys for making my January filled with jumps instead of sub-zero temperatures. See you guys at F/D 5.0!

I would have thought the "one we could respect" would have caused you to spit out your wine. respect coming from Glen and it might even have been directed at someone you know
