  1. Wasnt Robi's old faithfull the GTi already a semi eliptical wingsuit (if you look at the armwing design/shape)? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  2. I still suspect its those russians not wanting to let americans board their beautifull plane that caused them to skip on the event Neeh...shame the plane didnt make it..we could have created some brilliant chaos and havok in the skies! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  3. Sorry old man...didnt know.. You suggesting I spend MORE time on the interwebz to learn that shit? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  4. Yes it is. An-2 yea I know...thats why I had a questionmark behind it as in Dude...you do know that an An2 is a bi-plane..righ? We're in the part of the world where we know the difference between hercules airplanes, An-2s and jetplanes because we get to jump them regularly...unlike those twin otter/skyvan pussies from the USA JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  5. An-2 is a bi-plane..? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  6. Also cool! http://www.basejumper.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2896879;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  7. Its not a wingsuit, but its definately landing without use of a parachute! Somebody beat Jeb to it! And a video online! And if I had to choose who looks better, Id also go with this one (though also clean shaven, like jeb) link JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  8. Though on smaller people, the wingsizes do end up relativly being a bit larger compared to the body/mass of a more 'intense-fallrate-gifted' bigger person. The wings are sized to each persons size to a degree. So no real need for small people to find even smaller suits. Just practicing/learning on a suit (like the phantom) will be more than suitable for almost everyone. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  9. Just heard my Buddy Alejandro (aka "Dirty Alex") will be at Castellon from Dec 28 till Jan 2nd. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  10. Mostly, pay attention to other people on the load. Quite often people tend to open stacked between 4k and 6k (varies per dropzone of course) and encountering high canopies would severely ruin your day And dont wear the cool dark/sun-shades/tinted glasses for this one JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  11. Only of you count lederhosen formations at the bar afterward.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  12. We'll be there to try and beat out scores from last year... Which shouldnt be hard if we actually try and fly level JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  13. Not really..you are screaming about all the work you put in, and bragging about it. Instead of being a man like Chris, and not trying to sound like the safest and best skydiver alive. He is just a man, he does cool shit, and he did it without caring what rules, recomenditions and regulations are . And learnt some stuff allong the way by good and bad experiences. He only tells his story. Unlike you, who seems to wanting to try and throw people out of planes with wingsuits straight from AFF if they watched enough videos online you started jumping wingsuits with little to no jumps and hardly any experience...100 jumps means shit when talking about experience..200 jumps means shit when talking about experience.. You had hardly any jumps..you did okay...and you think you where properly prepared without having any real experience...great...let that be the story, but dont try and get everyone to rush into this the same way as you. Regardless of your skills...good or bad...not everyone is like you..so try and keep those other people in mind..and try to get em to do whatever they can in as many jumps as possible... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  14. For him it worked..and even he might have some stories to share on how some more experience probably would have differed....... But regardless...for the other 99% of dodo's out there who need some more practice, its not a bad thing to have some more mileage before they hit the nylon.. Shame its always only the 2 or 3 successtories we hear, and hardly any of the folks who dive into this headfirst (and come up short) dont have the guts to spill the beans on their experiences.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  15. You're also one of those lucky bastards with a cliff in the backyard as a home DZ Guess Lutz and some other peeps will be running around EU and US to spread the love the coming year or so.. Must be fun having to people in the house in a few months who you can adres with "who's your daddy!" JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  16. Gustavo will also be there to fly a bit. And David can also usually be found around those parts this time of year. Should always be some people around flying nylon... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  17. You sayd it was just the yellow guys that distracted you a bit? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  18. Pervert... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  19. And dont forget DSE. Even though he flies his slot in every single picture and video I see online, and seems to know his shit a lot better then quite a few 'respected' instructors I know, he shouldnt forget he is just a lowlife newby that just started flying wingsuits and actually doesnt know shit..know your place damnit JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  20. Costyn was the best wingsuit pilot on the internet for a long time (#1 spot in trackingderby the first year or so?) And would have at least also expected a hint at me being self proclaimed awesome flyer by video editing and animation magic....maybe with a pony or two thrown in there for good measure.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  21. Good to have you Gert! We'll be moving to Zwartberg (and most likely also Marl) as our home DZ next year as well, so we'll be doing loads of stuff there before that time as well Cant wait for April to get here! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  22. Hans just likes being the number one slut....eeh..slot.. Also note how he lists himself as 'maybe' for the Empuria event, untill AFTER this one, so his wife doesnt know he is actually already listed as 'definately coming' to two week-long events I love that man.... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  23. Ey..Belgian (Flamish?) isnt my native language.. I couldnt help it.. Glad to see you guys there...its going to rock. If we go over 25/30 people, we will most likely ad another (part time) Load Organiser to the roster.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  24. I think thats why people should work on having more experience than just the mere/bare minimum 200 thats most often quoted... You cant do and learn it all in those few jumps...though at the time..it always feels like you do know it all.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  25. And close to filling a whole load Coming fo shizzle: 1. Werner (NL) 2. Ludwig (SE) 3 Martin (SE) 4. Sara Hall(SE) 5. Alejandro Lopez (SP/BE) 6. David Haygarth (UK) 7 Tomas 7even (SE) 8.
