    I hope not. I prefer freedom and am willing to accept that with great freedom comes great responsibility ... Please define specifically how the implementation of a USPA Wingsuit Instructor Rating would restrict your freedom as a skydiver/wingsuiter? A USPA Wingsuit Instructor Rating will limit my freedom to instruct (if I ever choose to do so) ... not mention that a rating will likely be followed by regulations (instead of the current recommendations).

    I'm laughing because I have to live in a world where people like yourself aren't considered delusional even though they base reality on a fantasy devoid of logic and reason ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Are you laughing? I want to know if I'm laughing at you or with you ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    You're right. However, if you actually read some of the posts, articles, etc... you might be able to understand what is wrong with your speculation. Almost everything you've stated regarding proximity flying is wrong according to the posts, articles, etc... of experienced proximity flyers. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    It shouldn't. My point is that stating an economist is not an ecologist is different than stating an economist is not a scientist. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Can you define what a "scientist" is and what "scientific claims" are? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    It doesn't increase lift, it increases drag ... if you want to track well you want to decrease drag. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Shoulders and chin inside? Hands below the hips rather than on the sides? That doesn't sound like good tracking ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Your desire to perpetuate revenge and violence shows that you don't understand the concepts underlying a civilized society or the concept of learning from history ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    This risk can be reduced with education and awareness. This risk can be reduced with education and awareness. This risk can be reduced with education and awareness. This risk can be reduced with education and developing certain skills. This risk can be reduced with education, awareness, and developing certain skills. This risk can be reduced with education and developing certain skills. This risk can be reduced with education and awareness. Wrong. Why focus on wingsuiting and not swooping (which is injuring and killing more of our friends and fellow skydivers)? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    So, then you would be in favor of getting rid of the AFF and SL programs and replacing them with a really kick ass user manual, right? If not, what's the difference? We're not talking about learning to skydive, we're talking about a skydiver learning to wingsuit. What is the difference? The difference is that the former has no experience and no or limited knowledge where as the later has at least limited experience and limited knowledge. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    That's a great slogan, but what does it mean? It means gather and give access to the latest information allowing adults to make informed decisions for themselves. PS: Why are they thinking about regulating wingsuiting but no swooping? More people are getting into swooping and more people are getting injured or killed swooping ... "That looks dangerous."

    kinda like the nut bags that may contain traces of nuts "CAUTION: Contents may be hot" on coffee cups. I think the people who sue because they don't know that coffee is supposed to be hot upon purchase (otherwise it's called 'frappuchino' (sp?)) should be put out of my misery. Whatever happened to capital punishment? And the people who sue who do know that coffee is supposed to be hot upon purchase should also be put out of the misery. Gone are the days of common (or minimum) sense and personal responsibility ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Nice Mike! Build that Texas flock and we'll have a WestCoast ILL Vision vs Texas Flock comp, the join them for a bigway. I wish building a flock was as easy as sitting on a few eggs for a while ... someday the north will have a flock to join in on the fun.

    I think the X-Bird looks good (and will probably perform well). PS: I appreciate form but am more concerned with function. I'm lucky though because the Vampire 3 appears to have both form and function ... just have to wait a couple more weeks. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    You don't need a pull up cord if you have a shoelace. I landed off this past weekend and was packed and walking back before my ride got to me ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Nice cloud swooping.
