  17. The SR is a new scale I came up with, but already used worldwide (I hope) by many. SR stands for Smile Ratio. You can measure it by comparing the happiness on the face of the jumper after the jump and what he/she usually sports on a regular day. I am all-in for the huge smile

Metric is the way baby scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
