Article on landing wingsuit w/o parachute
Birdman_Mike replied to gottabefunky's topic in Wing Suit Flying
This is slightly off topic, but I would like to comment on water landings with a wingsuit. I have made two intentional water landings with my Vampire 1 in the Blue Hole, which is about sixty miles off the coast of Belize. I had no problem getting out of my wingsuit. I had flotation gear, but I didn't inflate it. The Blue Hole jump is organized by Rich Grimm during the Boogie in Belize in February. Check out www.skydivebelize.com for details. It's a great boogie and Rich has done a nice job organizing it for the past five years. Purple Mike -
Quote That was bad ass!! A bit of good speed, too (yay, Purple!) Quote Thank you Andrea

I suggest purple instead

Matt, Please post a square grid centered on the base. Although this is not a requirement for a record, I am curious to compare the base centered grid with the best fit grid. Thanks, Purple Mike

Tero, who else is coming from Finland? Marko, Panu, Juho, Visa? I will be there Nov 6th - 16th. Anyone want to try a triple docked triple rodeo after the record? Purple Mike
-
This is always a good idea

I have been wanting to do this jump for a long time. Thanks Dave for flying video! Does anyone have photos and/or video of a double docked double rodeo made before this one? Purple Mike P.S. Triple Docked Triple Rodeo is up next

You should not buy the video because of Justin. You should buy it because I am in it. In case you don't know, I am the "World Champion of Being in The Most Wingsuit Videos and Photos" Purple Mike

That is what we did on this jump, but I think that Crystal may have been able to get even further forward. Regardless, she did a great job hanging onto Justin -Purple Mike

Quote I remember purple mike trying this with Omar at WFFC a few years back. Good to see it's still being worked on

Here you go WestCoast Wingsuits Event, July 2008 Worlds First/Largest Slot Perfect Formation Congrats to the Mass 25way! I believe that we made this formation on May 4th, 2008. In fact, we made two perfect 16 ways back to back. We had to do it twice because the camera flyer (Avery) could do either video or stills, but not both. We made an attempt at Z-Hills a couple of months earlier, but it was not quite perfect. Purple Mike P.S. Justin wasn't there because he just had a baby

Tony Suits puts the 'WIN' in Wingsuit!
Birdman_Mike replied to Tony_Suits's topic in Wing Suit Flying
Is the glide ratio calculation actually accurate to the nearest hundredth place? I am curious to see the GPS data and calculation that was used in the competition as well as in Justin's 4.01 jump Purple Mike -

Congratulations to Matt Hoover for the photo he published in the first edition of Blue Skies Magazine (www.blueskiesmag.com)! This photo was taken at Skydive Houston during the Memorial Day Wingsuit Weekend. It's a nice photo of a wingsuit rodeo (Purple Mike and KWB) with Simon Bones freeflying in the background

Skydive Houston is the place to be for wingsuiting in Texas during the July 4th Weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun)! The flock has been growing rapidly at Skydive Houston with 5+ wingsuiters every weekend. The puffies have been amazing this summer, so come surf some big ones with us Purple Mike

With less than two weeks to the boogie, what is the latest headcount? I am sure that there will be more than seven birds at this boogie. Please add your name to the list if you are coming to the boogie

Sounds great
