Theo, you is my negro.

That's Loic Jean Albert in the video. Is, without a doubt, the most-qualified winguiter on the planet. Never mind that he's a fanatastically-nice guy. He is the gold standard of all of us, no matter how much might pretend to be otherwise. Seriously. Chuck BMCI-4

That's not what I said at all. On the jump that Jeff and I jumped together we both flew in the mid 40's. On the previous jump, the first one where he modded his suit, he flew solo and I led a separate three-way. We reviewed his altitrack data after that skydive and that's where he got those numbers. Chuck

You are, of course, absolutely correct. I meant "AltiTrack" when I typed "Optima" earlier.

Z-hills pond got a new, very-deep well last year and is always full to the top. I can't say what's going on elsewhere.

I am in a fantastic position here at Z-hills. Jeff and I run the school here ( Z-flock Wingsuit School) and, thankfully, we are supported by all the major manufacturers. I generally teach my FFC students with Phantoms and he generally teaches under Aerobats and (Adjust-o-bats). We just got three demo S-Fly wingsuits from Loic and Cathy and I jumped side-by-side with Heffro in his SM-1 with me in the ProFly. Granted, it was my first flight in the ProFly, but I still managed mid-40's average over the course of the entire dive in the new demo. It flapped a bit in the leg, but then again the suit was a bit long on me. I was impressed. Likewise, though, I am really impressed with my not-quite-stock SM-1 when I fly it on it's belly. It's tremendous. I must say that the legwing on my personal SM-1 is four inches narrower, but four inches longer than stock. It's beautiful,but I can't get it to fly on my back (and I have nearly 2000 wingsuit jumps now). Just for the record, I have to say that my PRIMARY wingsuit (the one I fly most of the time) is my BirdMan S6. It's not back-vented, but I have a TON of jumps under it and I flick it around like a go cart. The only person that can out-fly me (with me on my belly and them on their back) in that suit is Jeff Nebelkopf. With me on my back in my personal-favorite S6 I fall around 55 mph. I can't do better, but it's so comfortable and within the comfort zone of most flocks that I just can't seem to replace it as my primary suit. It's nearly perfect. If it were back-vented it WOULD be perfect. I like it much better than my old Blade. Chuck

Let's see the graph.

My neck still hurts from the bungee contraption!

Auburn has had a club on at least two occasions that I can remember.

I am fascinated at how many calls I got from "friends" today telling me how fucked up they think this is and that it's likely that Potato will come back this way and that I should be the first person to call them and tell them so that THEY can call the police. People, I know the guy, but I do not blow him. Hell, I didn't even like him until Dublin. Potato did not once mention over the course of this weekend that he intended to lay a guy out. Not a single word. If he showed up, plowed the guy ONE TIME in the face, then that guy fell on the concrete and is now in ICU then that's sad. All I have to say is that I have been the guy that put a moron in the hospital for fucking around with my old lady (no matter how shady she was) and I can relate. You candy asses who have never been in a fist fight need not reply to my post here. It's beeen a shitty weekend and I am just not in the mood. Again, I have no allegiance whatsoever with Brian Barbarosa and had no idea that he was going to do what he did. I can, however, totally relate to what he did. Please stop PMing me, calling me, or otherwise whining to me how bad you think this is. I am associated with this incident AT ALL. Chuck

It was a great skydive and I was glad I got such an important slot.

I don't have anything to add as far as what might have provoked it, but I will say this. There are plenty of instances where "grown ups" can be provoked into doling out an ass-whipping. Fucking someone elses girlfriend is one of those "good reasons". Too bad the guy ended up in the hospital. I don't know what exactly might have provoked Brian, but he certainly didn't give any indication whatsoever to anyone he was around that he intended to later drive down to Thomaston. YOU guys call the cops you feel like it, but stop calling me about it. It's a civil matter in my opinion and I am sure the rightful authorities will sort it out as they see fit. Chuck

Under. Otherwise your cat will think it's a toy and you will end up with the entire roll unfurled on the floor of your bathroom every day.

Me?? Participating in Beezy Shaw's ash dive.. And then getting really tanked with my buddies

Actually, Turtle really likes to bliiiiiiiiiiiiiiick it. I ruined his life

Amazingly, at least to me, almost every single full-time staff member at Skydive City in Z-hills plays this game. It's an obsession to them.

"Hey, you got any beers in there?"

Lee and I arrived here at The Farm about an hour ago. I have a feeling there is going to be a tremendous turnout. Chuck

I am on the way to Atlanta right now. If you guys show up, you might find a present up in level three security. Justing knows the deal.

The base you know...as #1: 1. Scott Bland (notsane) 2. Scott Gray (The Brothers Gray) 3. Chris Gray (The Brothers Gray) 4. Todd Statdfield (DaMan) 5. Michelle Statdfield (EmLo) 6. Justin Shorb ( Flock U) 7. Jeff Nebelkopf (heffro1) 8. Chuck Blue (Z-Flock Wingsuit School) Can't wait already!

Change of plans. I have an ash dive to attend (Beezy Shaw's) at The Farm so I will not be in SeaBiscuit.

There seems to be some confusion as to whether I am going to be there or not. Make no mistake, I will be there. I am leaving Z-hills tommorrow around noon, driving to Tallahasse, and riding the rest of the way with Lee and his wife. Chuck

Operation Blick will be in effect at this DZ then.

That's very, very cool! Like Robi, I believe that critter might actually be using his tail wing for propulsion, at least to some degree.

I like shiny things. I hope there are shiny things at Sebastian. Steve, I was planning on not showing up until Saturday morning or at least Friday late-afternoon. I am riding my Harley over from Z-hills and sending all my gear in the RV with Heffro (who is maybe leaving as early as tomorrow). I thought you and Justin were going to come by here and jump Friday, then go over there that night. Has that changed? Chuck
