Conscientious, cloud-avoiding wingsuit flyers in the USA... www.WingsuitPhotos.com

True, however OP specified Premiere Pro CS4 which'll run faster on quadcore/i7 as it makes use of all 4 cores. That's nice... I was rendering an HD video last night on my i7 using x264 encoder, and it would only use one of the 8 threads on my CPU. Nice thing was I was able to render ANOTHER video with Vegas at the same time, and still have most of my system free... www.WingsuitPhotos.com

I have to ask, did you build that little wood stand just for your helmet? Stained and varnished and all? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Nylon NUT or nylon BOLT? Big difference. I would think a nylon nut with a metal bolt wouldn't help at all. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Here's some humor for ya Spot... I was using Photoshop tonight and figure out how you can get better faster! http://www.matthoover.com/misc/spot_healing.jpg www.WingsuitPhotos.com

1. Purple Mike 2. FlyinBob 3. me www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Unfortunately I can't make it this year, but I fully plan on making it next time around, which will be better with Spot back in the air anyway.

Finally got around to watching this one... great footage and editing! Always amazing stuff to watch... www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Yeh, but AFF and tandem instructors both get paid. People that want to fly a wingsuit will pay for it... they're gonna pay over a grand for a suit soon anyway. It's a funny issue for me. It's not important enough that I would go crusading for regulation... but at the same time I have no good reason to say no to it either, if others want to do the legwork. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

A USPA Wingsuit Instructor Rating will limit my freedom to instruct (if I ever choose to do so) ... not mention that a rating will likely be followed by regulations (instead of the current recommendations). Isn't safety of the student far more important than "freedom" of the instructor? And as far as recommendations turning into regulations... I can't think of one intelligent person on this forum who would say "yes" to a 150-jump wonder asking to jump a WS today. So if we all agree on the recommendations, what is the harm in making them stick, so that DZ's actually pay attention to them too? It's funny, I am normally a counter-culture anti-rules kind of guy... but really how much would it hurt any of us if we just made people take the current recommendations more seriously by making them concrete guidelines? Nobody has provided a good answer to that question, just vague fearmongering like "be careful what you ask for, you just might get it." Well, we've been asking that sub-par "instructors" and people with under 200 jumps stop making asses of themselves and the rest of our community. Would it be so bad if we actually got that? Seriously, if I am wrong here, somebody give me a precise example of a negative consequence (to us) of turning recommendations into rules. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Tired of arguing about USPA and wingsuits in the other thread? Watch this video, it's guaranteed to be more fun! Watch (HD) Watch (standard) This video is dedicated to the memory of Rob Jones, and the soundtrack is a favorite song of his, chosen by his wife Kathy. Without Rob and the Z-Flock events, the wingsuit/flocking world (along with most of us in it) would not be where it is today. This one's for you, Rob. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Mike asked me to add: bring your sisters! www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Where do you get all the Schumacher parts? It looks great Terry! The cutaway hinge you sent for my CCM is still working well too.

Can I get an amen, brother? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Well, you need you look at per capita stats and not total percentages. In which case I'd guess swooping would still "win," but not by nearly as large of a margin. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

who says anyone even makes it to any interview? I said "we will get back to you IF..." ZING! www.WingsuitPhotos.com

What about nose oil??? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Nice. Cool exits, and gravitrons! I would like to see outside footage of what you did at 2:23, although I think I can visualize it. Nice swoop at the end, was that you Jeff? And nice bloopers... 6:20 is funny. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Hey, a summer cloud surfing video with Massive Attack in the soundtrack, deja vu! Cool looking suit. Cooler looking clouds. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

And now you have Chuck's permission! www.WingsuitPhotos.com

It doesn't work very well when the newbie gets tetchy with the person trying to give him good advice. Don't mind jakee. Here are some answers for you. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Thanks Scotty, I think I am gonna try to make this one... found some cheap tickets but still looking for cheap hotel, the best I found was $125/night which is a bit steep... www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Yes, I cheat.

I increase my saturation (not in-camera) because I like it that way, and I happen to be American (although not your typical American... I just live here). But I know many Americans who don't saturate their photos that much, and I have seen plenty of Euro photographers who do saturate their photos. I think it's all personal preference anyway. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

What is your actual distance from the mountains you're flying over on the canyon run? Also, LZ is 5k above sea level or so, right? I've landed at Eloy before which I think is 2k and seemed slightly faster... never landed at 5k before. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
