    Hehe yeah I guess I'll have to face the music soon. No, but seriously I think it should be fun. Now to find a BMCI... Maybe you could ask Jari or Scott to run a BMI class in Germany next month at the An72 boogie, or at Texel (if any of them are coming) at the High Altitude Wingsuit boogie? And thank you for all the congratulations.. I'll promise to also teach people without big tits and cute faces (sometimes) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    As the blues brothers once put it..(even though they probably didnt have the wingsuit community in mind) No matter who you are and what you do to live, thrive and survive, there's still some things that make us all the same. You, me, them, everybody, everybody.. Fly baby! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    Too bad the smaller HDV cameras do not have the same options as their resp. big brothers...they actualy enable you to switch between PAL en NTSC recording...sure hope this feature becomes available on the regular consumer cameras (and small HDV cams) soon... Would save us a lot of trouble.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    Great video... And wow...The forward speed on that looked amazing....what would the chance be on keeping up with him in a big wingsuit in full flight? Would that (in terms of glide and speed) be close, or is his rigid wing design outflying anything we're trying to do here? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    The line 'the first earobatic wingsuit team' on your main page should maybe be changed into 'the first american earobatic wingsuits team' Dont forget there's people playing in other countries as well.. Loic and his soulflyers sound like a real team, and they've been playing for a long time already.. I also seem to remember some norgies (in matching red S1/GTi's if I remember correctly) that where already doing some cool and funky team based flying a few years ago.. But the page is awesome...cant wait to see your tips & tricks database grow.. If you guys are ever in the EU..drop by..we'll give you a place to stay, and we can slice through the skies and have our own aerobatic mini-boogie :P JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    There's quite a bit of DVD material (lucy, the falcon that flew, or something like that) which has wingsuiters flying, and falcons eating from their hand WHILE flying along with the wingsuiters...they're capable of a lot more then we are JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    You know you're a real wingsuit flyer when you have a SILVER wingsuit, and look like a flying microwave dinner, and dont think there's anything wrong with that! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    I know being A BIT headlow is needed for more drive...more speed, more lift etc. But that only works to a certain degree.... But when you see someone flying with you, and he's going down at about 80 mph and disappearing beneath you and behind you I dont think he's really getting a lot of extra lift there.. You see some people flying with their arms swooped a bit back, or arm-wings not completely opened sometimes, and that puts them in a more diving position...and definately not in the max-glide position you are talking about.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    I've seen a few people not fly the arm wing completely open (arms a bit bent, or pushed down/drooping), while stretching the legwing completely out/open. This seems to put them in a headlow attitude thats more like diving instead of max flying... Getting some video of yourself flying, and analyzing your body posture (see if anything might be causing your headlow flying) might help out? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    Wayyyyy to late to enter, but here's two pics from David in his white V1 in the sunny Empuria skies just 1,5 weeks ago http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~fxcordia/photo/04_april/empuria_david_V1_sun.jpg http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~fxcordia/photo/04_april/empuria_david_V1_chute.jpg JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    Okay..looked it up in excact numbers... 126/234=53.8 % JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    For me its about 50/50. I do one or two weekends (or a full week sometimes) of wingsuit flights, and then focus on freeflying again for the next weekend. I do always try and keep it in one dicipline per weekend. I think you learn more that way..instead of costantly switching between one and another (next to the fact that I hate rigging up a wingsuit 7 times in one weekend...and cant afford a second rig) Last year: +- 120 wingsuit jumps, +- 100 jumps (of the 'less then 2 minutes freefall' kind) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
