Yea..any news on your London adventures? I smell ponies and hot skydives! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Or for the non-technies: Just hit Record in your audio/waveform recording device, and put your video on play.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

That 9 way diamond is sweet! Awesome photos! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Same goes for video, and shooting swoopers coming down.. So you actually see who people are (against an overly bright sky), instead of a black sihouette coming down, the camera then freaking out, and going completely white for a second, and then finaly resting on the correct lighting conditions on the ground ; Manual settings...they where put there for a reason JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Hey if something is not within 3 clicks reach, Im lost JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Stay on the ground for longer then 5 minutes? Finaly found those 2 pics after a lot of searching... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Searching through all the speedriding stuff (awesome and congrats to loic!) Is there any wingsuit stuff on there? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

http://www.johnstonefitness.com/all/front/m.php Amazing weightloss example (though pushing it too far after the initial loss IMHO) Which made me wonder, anyone in here ever loose a massive amount of weight (or alter your build in any other way) just for the purpose of being a better wingsuit pilot (or be able to fit a thick sweater underneath the tight wingsuit, made according to measurements taken in summer in a t-shirt?)

When people have their camera set to auto (in terms of exposure) even a light panning with the subject will turn every picture a different colour/shade. Making the merging of images quite hard, as it can take ages to get them all to the same colour levels/contrast. This image was put together by combining rougly 12 photos into one.

The "look like a microwave dinner" option! Go for all pink! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Your body should be at a +- 45 degree angle. So the relative wind hitting you deflects downward, and pushes you up. If you jump out too straight (standing upright) the wind will smack your wings, and do nothing more but push you back. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

AFAIK It wasnt intentional, and the video of this lowpull is also on skydivingmovies somewhere.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Nico, ask Danny! He had his (belgian) rigger modify the legwing on his S1 (S3 stylee) Adding a cell. Seeing how beautifull a job the rigger did on that baby, Im 100% sure he could mod your Prodigy as well (adding some length) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Anyone intrested, join our pre-cochstedt weekend in belgium, and we include a L/D clog-buying trip to Amsterdam... They also have other stuff there that makes you fly high as a kite..or so I hear.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

I bought my spectre 170 and rig (vector II, used a lot for birdman jumps btw) at 80 jumps, and jumped that bad boy for about 3 years +-400 jumps. Doesnt have to be a waste at all if you're not in a rush to downsize.. I made up for the safe canopy-choice by being more dangerous in freefall though..so no worries there.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Does that work? Or arent you trying to earodynamicly reshape your head for better flight performance? (ps. vector is still a fine rig!!) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Thats the secret to flying a 3.0 L/D!!! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Dont forget "pony lover" in that desciption!!! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

When I read the topic, I was scared for a second that this was going to be another one of those star-trek-y discussions on flight vectors JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

offficeee boorrrrringgg...neeeddd...videos....neeeeed...pictureeessss.. H E L P Hows todays flocks!? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Vectors dont work for wingsuit flight! However, for holding 2 canopies, and deploying one or the other after a wingsuit flight, it works like a charm Too many people cut up rigs/corners for no reason at all.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Way impressive reel! Id seen it before, and didnt realise it was a skydiver that worked on that stuff JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Looks like S6 armwings with a V2 legwing? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Id gladly take you up on that one (the invitation to join you) It was mostly the wording in your post that sparked my nazi-questionaire Being bored in the office while the sun is shining outside, and you guys being out there jumping/envy had nothing to do with it JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

But they where not looking at the direction in which they where flying. By what you sayd about double blindman/tag they seemed to be more busy with their 2 way, then watching the other people.. Its not the people IN the formation you have to worry about... With rear-view mirrors? I thought the base was backflying? They are the ones navigating right? I understand navigation on my back based on the direction of sunlight, but backflying its definately not shadows on the ground you're watching. Then I do hope the base was paying attention to you, as your earlier words indicated you guys where chasing, with the base just doing its own thing.. There's a big difference between a jump that went safe, and a jump that is safe Its your own description in your initial post that made me ask about the safety. Please understand that Im in no way condemning anything here. Im just trying to understand excactly what you are describing here, as it doesn't seem to be quite in accordance with all the 'lets be safe and never let this happen again' stuff from last week. Be safe...do as I say...dont do as I do JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
