Yea..its something I sometimes see myself do on video and photos...a nice way to video someone without having to completely twist your head off your torso.. I think its a slight bent at the waist (bending my upper body in the direction of flight a little) combined with a right leg and arm that are pushing down slightly more then the other side..sending you 'drifting' sideways.. If anybody wants to see (after the summer/boogie season) we'll try and shoot some exaggerated examples and turn it into a 'flight manual' video on our website.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Poor Darren...all out of options then I guess JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Bring 2 GPS-es on a plane jump. Drop one out of the door, wear the other one. After your jump, go on a long walk, and hope to find a working GPS embedded in the dirt somewhere.. Then check the data and you're there! You know the winds at altitude! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

If you're not falling fast enough, try shooting the tandem while being naked. You'll fall at the right speed, you'll have to work harder to fly due to not having drag on your arms and legs (=more practice) AND you'll DEFINATELY get a tandem thats smiling and laughing! If you're a good looking girl, we can do some free practice at my place.. All jokes aside... If you want to practice, find a (heavy flatflying, or good sitflying) jump buddy and do some 2 ways for practice. You'll be able to practice falling faster (be it by arching, sitflying, headdownflying or wearing lead) without having to worry about a drogue and a tandem in front of you that cant compensate for what you're doing or trying...

I dont know the program you specified, but there is a whole range of nice simple editing programs. Do a search on this forum, and you'll probably find quite a few (Pinacle studio etc.) and some reviews of sayd programs.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

I live in that same world...and time is also a factor in mine You're not turning 30fps video into 15 fps video.(I know thats not what you mean, but in trying to make a point, you do make it seem that way) Depending on what the video is for, I do use external progams that handle the deinterlacing. But for 99% of the non-broadcast stuff, I dont. And quality-wise, the video's look nice and sharp. Sure..they might look a few mere % better if you put in the extra effort, but to me, its not worth it. Working within one editing program, saving a lot of time also means a lot to me. (And I shoot in PAL, so I get more image-lines to start with) here and here are two recent vids deinterlaced with premiere, AND compressed afterward, and it still comes out looking good. Why bother with the extra trouble of deinterlacing in an external program. And why make things 10 times more complex for someone who is just trying to understand what 'fields' are, and how to find a simple way to 'get rid of them' When I see 'windows movie maker' as the editing program of choice, I dont think high end broadcast quality progressive scan footage is what he's aiming for..he just want to watch and edit his skydiving, and not be bothered by 25 different programs and a ton of settings JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

the lines are not 'a problem' They are part of the way interlaced DV video works.. But there is a chance that movie-maker captures your footage de-interlaced (just using 1 of the 2 fields) if you choose the 'playback on computer' option yes... But if you're intending to use it in an edit for DVD or output to tape again later, then its recomendable to keep the fields(lines) for sharper/smoother video playback on tv. Do a search on google for "Video interlacing" to find out excactly what their function is. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Heyhey.. Yea..I was replying to the original poster...I just hit the lowest reply button. Should probably have taken your name out of the subject-line yea.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Great article.. Is the whole video (with all the footage from the different camera's) available for viewing (in high res.) somewhere? The small compressed clip on the news-website doesnt do the footage justice.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Lots of people in here always asume people are aiming for high-end broadcast use of their footage. Just using the simple built in deinterlacing options in premiere (or whatever package) work well enough for most people....especialy if you're encoding to a compressed websized version of your video anyways... If you're encoding it for viewing on a PC or internet, just doing a simple rightclick>fields>always deinterlace, or deinterlacing of your footage in the encoding to mpg/divx/wmv/quicktime is more then enough. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

If you're a slow faller, and you want to dock on the tandem to keep up the speed, you'll end up ON TOP of the tandem (just imagine what would happen when you're being dragged down by your arms..) Not a good idea... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

http://www.nrk.no/veko/ Click the video-tab, and then select 06' base video It has some incredible shots of an (I think) S-fly (basejump with smoke) flying with canopies.. Sick stuff...! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Small addition I got from the center. All loads will be flown to 15.000 ft, but through-out the day, special 18.000 ft formation loads (with oxygen) wil be flown. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

The file works ok on both computers I have here. Check the filesize and see if its downloaded completely? Maybe I should start a new topic? The mystery of the wooden clogs, or how to fly a classic at 1.5 Clogs also allow for complete freedom of movement in your ankle, AND work as a floatation-device..PERFECT for wingsuit flying JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

I just uploaded a new video from the 1st PCMN 'Wingsuit Day' download at skydivingmovies.com Not our best flying to date (camera-wise) but some nice exits and flights from a bunch of new Dutch birds! Check it out! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Skydive Texel is proud to host the high altitude wingsuit boogie again! Check here for a video of last years event. Join in on 4 days of flocking on one of the most beautiful island locations in Europe. High jumps, and load organising by Andy Ford. Check http://www.flylikebrick.com/texel.php for more details. Next to the UK people joining in through www.islandboogie.com we're making a list of the people coming from the rest of europe (so the dropzone knows how many flyers will be attending, and can arrange extra lift-capacity if needed) So far, it seems like we have a total of about 20 wingsuit flyers on the island during the 4 day boogie. If you want to come, send me a PM or an email at jarno#airrebels.com So far confirmed (not counting the UK people joining through islandboogie.com) Costyn van Dongen - NL Tristan Witmarsh - NL Jarno Cordia - NL Marius Poll - NL Alejandro Lopez - BE Pascal "Bassie" Nijs - BE David haygarth - UK Sarah-Jane smith - UK And a small extra plug. be sure to check out our new section of wingsuit flying tips (video) at www.flylikebrick.com JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

You have an overactive imagination... Go back to the kitchen man! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Or we got married secretly, and they put "Jarno van Dongen" on there, and I just decided to leave my b1tch at home JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Who/what is the FAI? Are those the guys that fail to recognize Craig Breedlove as the first man to break the sound barrier in a rocket car? Who says Stan Barrett wasnt the first man to break the sound barrier in a rocket car in 1979?? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

How about this 'record'... If all flyers bring a camera, we'll have 2,5 hours of video to debrief from 1 single jump.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Most of us are feeling like pioneers working on canopy flyby's..he's swooping mountains and working on docking on airplanes... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Great video... And really impressed with Loics flying. Flying base, doing a wave-off, and instantly dropping 3 meters for a photo...some of the cleanest, tight flying I've seen in a long time... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Tristan, you have to be setting some record for most suits worn on one single boogie You already impressed me at Teuge, flying a Phantom, Phi, S3S, S3 etc. all in one weekend..I think spotted you in your S3, in a v2 and S-fly expert in these Russia photos? Did I miss any other suits? hehe But big congrats on your podium spot dude! Now get your ass back to Holland so we can fly again..you've been playing far away in Italy for far to long... And Johan is probably quite anxious to see if he can outfly the 2nd best flyer in the world as well JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

I think people fall out of balloons a lot, and just happen to be wearing a single parachute-system... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
