Excellent....I had to use the google web page translation tool to figure out what the site said but all is good now....e-mail sent.

Enjoy I did! Let's knock out a few this weekend (I here Sunday is going to be nice) so we can add to it.

holding........

Jester, where can we but some SkyJester Joy Sticks? Selling 'em on Ebay or anything like that? We want to buy a few.

Oh my God....that attachment is priceless....too funny! Thank you for making me laugh so early in the morning.

Not leaving until Monday late afternoon so maybe we can squeeze in a few? I would change the flight but I am already taking off Friday and Monday and work beckons.

We are all fucking jealous....just when we are getting ready to shut it down you are getting it going! Oh well....we will be down there soon. Any chance ya'll are going to the Fire and Ice Boogie? Justin and I are headed down for that. Hopefully 1 or 2 more trips before the next flock 'n dock as well. If you are working any Pats game and can get any extra tickets make sure to let me know....shaping up to be a historic season

Snopes is skeptical and lists this as "undetermined".

Google language tools has a English to Russian option....probably not perfect but may be OK for your needs. http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en By the way...how much text? I have a Russian dude sitting next to me at work

Nice! I think this is going to be a great event.

Fuck dude, I might have to join you for SCUBA. I think I tore my rotator cuff....can't even move my arm up a few inches from my side. Going to Ortho doc next week to see what the deal is. Has any wingsuiter out there experienced a torn rotator cuff injury and if so how long did it take to heal?

Nice! We will have at least a 4 way. Get some more FL birds to come so it makes it worthwhile for us to take the days off from work.

You book tickets for Sebastian or Puerto Rico yet? 'nuf said!

OK......Justin and I have tickets. Be there Thursday night late. Who else we got going?

There is a "wingsuit workout" posted somewhere but I can't find it right now. It has been posted in this forum before (I think it was originally on the flybirdman website which doesn't seem to be working anymore). I did find this post from "Birdwoman" that was from a few years ago. If you do a search on "Weight training for wingsuit flying" you can find the whole thread: You've come to the right place. I have a lot of experience in weight training from my athletic background and also my soon-to-be college degree in Sport and Exercise Science. What the others have said is pretty close to what you want to do, but I'll give you all the advice I can. First off, it can be more difficult for females to fly the suits, especially the S/S3. The larger surface area, combined with generally weaker upper bodies, can make for some difficult flights. It is important to work on the entire upper body with emphasis on the specific muscles, so keep that in mind. Another thing to keep in mind is that you want to do static training because of the mechanism of movement (i.e. holding one position for a period of time). Here is what I would work on and how: 1-the specific muscles that the suit requires are the deltoids, mainly the middle and anterior portions. A)To work the middle delt: do lateral raises with a weight, where you start with the weight at your side and gradually raise it straight out to the side up to shoulder level. Don't raise the weight above shoulder height. Start by holding it there for 10 seconds, then gradually increase the time as you can. When you can hold the weight for 20 seconds for three sets, you can up the weight. DO NOT start with a weight that is too much; doing so can cause undue stress on the muscles that make the rotator cuff and thus lead to shoulder problems! B)To work the anterior delt: Do the same lift as above but move the weight slightly to the front (only about 30-45degrees). ***You can also work your middle/ant. delts by doing the seated shoulder press, either with a machine or free weights. If done with free weights, sit upright and start with the weights at shoulder height, elbows flexed and in at the side. Slowly raise the weights over your head and bring them together. The long count is raising, the short is lowering. 2-You need to work the upper tricep as well, and this will also work the inferior head of the anterior delt. To do this, perform a front raise, where you raise a weight from the side of your body to straight out in front of you. Hold it there in the same manner as above for the delts. 3-To work your posterior tricep, you can do either tricep extensions or tricep kickbacks. The extensions can be done either on a machine or with free weights where you start with the weight behind your head so that your elbow is flexed, then raise the weight above your head slowly as to fully extend your arm. If you do the kickbacks, kneel on a bench with one knee and have the same arm for support on the bench (i.e. right hand and knee on the bench). Hold your left arm into your side while holding the weight up close to your shoulder so that the elbow is flexed. While "squeezing" your left tricep, extend your elbow so that the weight and your lower arm end up by your butt. The long count should be while extending, the short count while flexing. 4-You can't forget about your trapezius. You can do seated rows (with a machine) or with free weights. If using free weights, you can do lateral raises. Using the same stance with a bench as you did for tricep kickbacks, let the weight hang in your hand straight at the ground, elbow extended. When you raise the weight, you are going to flex at the elbow as you perform shoulder adduction (squeeze your shoulder blade toward your spine). Try to keep the elbow in toward the side of your body. The fast count is raising, the slow count is lowering. 5-Dont' forget your pecs. Even though these muscles play a small role in flying as the majority is in your shoulders, they are still important. Push-ups, horizontal bench press or the military press will all work. If you do push-ups, you will also work your deltoids and laterals a little as well. However, don't let push-ups replace the specific exericises I have mentioned. I hope this helps! If you need clarification on anything, or want more lifting workouts, please feel free to contact me. I feel like I have a lot to offer in this area and would love to help when I can! Flock Hard- Stacey BMI

I love the pic "stacking it up" with the cloud canyon in the background. Fucking awesome....epic even! That looks like one of the jumps you just really don't want to come down because it is so amazing. wish I could have been there.

Excellent! I think I will have to go this year.....have always wanted to do it. I'll recruit some more wingsuiters. Think I am going to go online tonight and books tix for the Sebastian Fire and Ice Boogie, the Puerto Rico Boogie, and for the Great White North.

yes indeed...... You should get measured up for one so you can flock with us more next year!

that's funny shit.....I thought there was actually a wing suit race and was excited to find out about who won. Little did I know you were talking about drunken debauchery I guess there was no distance challenge this time?

Details of the race? Don't think I saw them posted yet....

Chuck, I hope Justin remembered to bring you a Flock-U shirt.... Blick it! Really wish I was there but have a wedding to go to in NY on Saturday. See you some time in Nov. or Dec. and definitely at 4.0.

Matt....too funny!

very nice video....good choice of music too.
