That is a good one Mikki, but that doesn't fit the pattern of the examples given, because it wouldn't qualify for the show "Jackass", like the examples do. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

I would really like to take such a class, mostly because of Maggot's acclaim and renown (especially in the area of object strike avoidance). However, I require, and almost demand, that the most important part of the syllabus not be overlooked: An Intro to Ninja Skills. Maggot's 'Ninja 101' per se.. also, 'History and Ethics of Ninjas' would be good. Or at the very least a brief 'Ninjas for Dummies' lecture. How could Magot ever do such a course without addressing such pivotal and relevant issues? Exactly. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.

Man, this suit is great! It's like a Vampire on nitrous! At first it had me worried, I thought "doesnt this suit go any slower than Mach 3?" but was able to fly relative to another wingsuit, so it's all good.

I must not be looking closely enough, where is the vertical stabilizer again? "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

How about a hybrid PC with both fabrics, ideally combined in a way to capture the benefits of both? Perhaps an inner circle of ZP and outer circle of F111? Just throwing ideas out there.

I think he means an uncoordinated (slipping) 360 in the yaw direction. I've done a couple and they are a trip. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

Pretty sure it's the first one, highest exit. But any way you slice it, it's still pretty high. Although I'd also like to know how much working altitude they had; the altitude of the LZ.

Boats, tubes, and oh shit I really almost died

Another fun one is those flying boards. Just remember to keep the boat speed under control or you could get too much air and possibly wipeout with serious results. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957 -
The Mystery Of Hanwags, or How To Fly Phantom at 2.9

Uh, I still think the secret is all about the shoes. We should try to get Nike to make a WS shoe and call it the 'Air Clown' "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957 -
I didn't comment on the size of the wings, but I think the name 'Expert' would imply something other than, and specifically not including 'intermediate'. The S-Fly must get pretty good energy-mileage I suspect. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

I would say in a way it did, considering you were the only flyer on the podiums with an intermediate suit! Phantom gets better energy mileage; it's not an energy guzzler like those big-wing suits.

I'm curious as to why James chose the Phantom as his weapon of choice. Perhaps because it is a marathon, not a sprint, so fatigue and energy available are very much factors. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

With big enough clown shoes, even pigs will fly just fine! "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957 -

Ankle weights and regular shoes, or lightweight clown shoes? And of course, according to the scientific method, it must be predictably repeatable by Yuribase as well as others. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957 -
Well now we understand. At first I didn't realize the extent to which you're afraid people will learn the truth about you. But I guess your fellow jumpers might think twice (or 5 times) about having you PCA them or assist in any way while you're seeking death and they're trying to avoid it. Makes sense.

Dude, you should really seek help, get that crap checked out by a shrink/head doctor. I'm not sure there are any of those here on dropzone.com that could help. Sorry "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

Well to be "experienced" and "respectable", certainly nothing less than 10,000. Anyone at 9,999 or below is inexperienced until that 10,000th one. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

I'm still wondering why the "Highway and Transportation District" owes a duty to the citizens to take unreasonably extensive measures to protect the citizens from themselves. A local initiative should be put in to allow the citizens to accept or deny it and pay for it out of taxes if they want it.

So I guess it's safe to say if you're not going to get the perfect toss every time its better to throw too hard than not hard enough? The consequences are minor compared to the consequences of a weak toss. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

Chuck, don't we really need welded wingsuits?? "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

I feel it has a parallel with the old joke about the last thing to go through a bug's mind when it hits the windshield... Therefore, when you're in those situations, keep/pull your head out of your #ss and you'll be fine. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.

Yea, gotta second that... nice powerful plane and it's pretty darn scenic to cruise around that place (freefall or canopy). Nice chill vibe there.

Did you guys happen to capture any nice stills?? "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
