Considering the Iphone GPS only gets a 5 to 15 meter accurate fix on the ground most of the time, I have very low expectations for this device as well. But Ill give it a run next week and post some tracks here. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

And more info: Cessna Caravan confirmed for Saterday/Sunday Cessna 206 Turbine + Cessna 182 (always there) for thursday/friday. We will be doing jumps from one island to the other, with special run-ins/jump runs. Performance flying manditory unless you like swimming All load organising is at slot-price (sharing camera/LO slot with the flyers on the jump). JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Did find out that the Iphone has a max sample rate of 1 sample per second. Accuracy can be up to 2.5 meter (max) depending on satelite fix. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Ive now installed several GPS trackers for the IPhone 3gs. Ill give em a check next weekend and report back.... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Im not jumping this weekend due to a move to my new place in Rotterdam (always have an extra bed for people wanting to drop by for a few jumps, DZ only 5km away). But next weekend, Ill give it a try... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Havent tried it yet, but http://www.gpsies.com/page.do?page=iPhone might be one worth trying... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Thank you for the compliments! It was a fun competition, and we are definately organising it again next year (again in Terni, Italy most likely). We are also organising an (open) benelux competition late winter/early spring in Holland/Belgium. And currently looking at the posibility of maybe doing a similar competition in the USA around/close/at F&D in April. The competition format seems to work really well, as does the judging on camerawork, # of docks and (especially) style. Style being smoothness of flying, forward motion (is the ground changing), legs stretched, cleanness of docks.. As to suits, yes those are Phantoms. Real clean to fly. No big amounts of fabric in the way of smooth barrelrolls and docks. I know you'll love it. And just speed, speed, speed. You'll love your P2z! Its a shame we only had 10.000 ft on round 2 (as did the French and TonySuits team), but all three where confident enough to not do a rejump (even though the Italian teams had 12.000ft to play with. But 12k would have been nice from a video pov. As mentioned before, James is doing a full competition video, showing all teams from beginning till end through all the rounds. For future editions, we will use similar figures (docks, rolls, hop over/unders) and we have created 6 'blocks' with those. For the competition, each round will use 2 or 3 blocks, picked at random the day before the competition. More on all that stuff later... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Wingsuit Rodeo wedding! Awesome! Imagine looking at the wedding photos in about 18 years time! "Yea..I think we are behind that purple guy in the photos.." JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Ive just uploaded 2 photo packages to the website for use in skydive media/articles, available on the press package. Please credit photographers. There wil be another press-package with photos added tomorrow showing some more event stuff. Ground chillin, awards, judging etc. I also heard that phil was close to getting the TonySuit rounds online, so the first 3 places will be viewable for everyone soon James Boole will also finish up on the full comp video lateron, which will also show up on the competition website, as well asPhoenix-Fly.com JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

I think these skydiving tests are just an evil thing he needs to do....in BASE the reserve deployment is probably not his biggest worry.. Mains how-ever... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Note that most logging devices shut down (deploy) due to abrupt changes in speed. Not due to low speeds. You can log 10 mph flares and 30/40/50 mph flights, as long as its all smooth and constant flying. Only when immidiately doing full flight out of an airplane you get the 'no freefall' thing sometimes.. Fly smooth :) The Altitrack logs normal freefall and canopy time, so it enables you to see your full freefall afterward in the computer log/graph.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Smiles all the way....this stuff is fun to do. We didnt train (or even hardly fly together) this year, so it was cool to fly and see things 'work'. I had fun, every single jump! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Many dropzones have their jump-craft and/or canopies showing up on google maps. I was wondering if anyone already spotted a wingsuit somewhere? With all the skydiving and BASE jumping action happening, it must only be a matter of time before we find a wingsuit in flight somewhere that didnt get photoshopped out by the Google people and their clone-tool? Who finds the first one.... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

[url "http://www.wingsuitcompetition.com/wscomp2009/index.html"wingsuitcompetition.com[/url] has now been updated with a press/media page, containing all information, stories and videos from the past competition. Over the next 2 days or so, Ill be adding more pictures and video (when other teams upload their jumps to youtube or vimeo) to the site. In a few weeks time, we will also host/show the full competition videos here. Check it out! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Our video of the 5 competition rounds is now also online (note: just uploaded, so quality will improve within the next hour or so when YouTube is done encoding the high quality version) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNEQcIlcrH4 JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

If you want to get framegrabs every 3 seconds, just put your footage on the timeline, and do a speedup of 75x (PAL) and dis-able frame-blending. Than export to a jpg/tga/pict sequence... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

If you need help, upload the m2t files, and Ill convert them to something more manageable for you if you want :) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

hehe...what I actually wanted to say was 'these guys fly more without a wingsuit, than most of us do in what we call flocking' JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Stealth1...great suit, though not the most suitable wingsuit for BASE (nor is any 'big wing' model if long delays on opening/hesitations arent the thing you particulairly like) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Great video guys! And awesome chilled, controlled and legs straight flying! Cool to also see some inside video on that last round :) note: only the outside viewpoint was used for judging on all rounds Hope to also have our rounds on 'the tubes' within the next few hours, as wel as the press page with pix, scores and info on all that happened in Italy :) Phill, you slso uploading your videos anywhere? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Giovanni, thank you for the awesome time! Definately see you again next year! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Its a shame Purple Mike already has a nickname, otherwise I would name him 'Lenscap'. As he always seems to be on top/in front of a lens, preventing the photographer from snapping an awesome picture... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Dude...pretty soon you'll be graduating from crutches to walking and running like a gazelle...and the leap from the skyvan wearing wings will be your next hurdle...which will be an awesome one to look forward to! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
