LouDiamond 1 #1 March 26, 2010 Shane joined the flock today and knocked out 5 jumps. He has fallen and now needs the nylon crack. Congrats to Shane for a job well done and welcome to the flock."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 74 #2 March 26, 2010 Talll dude! Welcome to the flock, and congrats on the first flights.. Is there a Boeing 747 league of tall flyers already? Would be great putting all of them together in a flock and flying full tilt with those long arms/legs:)JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't fall into the heavy class, with all wings on they are almost gliding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #4 March 26, 2010 Have to laugh, Stephan's Phantom 2 and Piotr's Raptor both have more fabric than my SM. They're both 6'5" plus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teigen 0 #5 March 27, 2010 I rarely venture into this sub-forum, seeing that i have yet to "join the flock" But congratulations! Thats quite a height difference :P Bah i need to get my war face on and log some more jumps! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #6 March 27, 2010 Stephan is a pretty tall dude. Here he is doing his FFC at Zhills. When he flattened out, he took off like a rocket. Jarno, I like the "747 Club" idea! Kinda like the Anvil Bro's for super tall wingsuiters. Maybe guys 6'5" and taller only need apply? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 74 #7 March 27, 2010 We should have made some pix of Stefan next to a Tony (Butters), Taya or Kipp. The height difference would have been hilarious. Not even the shortest of people, but would have been more extreme than you (as you are quite normal in height as far as I could judge, looking around). (German) Alex also had quite a bit of height on everyone.. '747 club' for tall wingsuit flyers would be fun..maybe Stefan wants to start making badges.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

LouDiamond 1 #8 March 27, 2010 There is an old school DZ.commer named Tallguy that we took up at WFFC 03/04 thats like 6'7" barefoot. It makes for a weird visual to see another wingsuit next to someone that big in the sky. I think I have a picture of it somewhere on a HD or it may even be posted in the forums here. If I find it I'll post it."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
