    Wow, I read a short story when I was younger with this plot ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    :6:0 1 Tracking 5 Wingsuit "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Do you have any details? (Exit altitude, deployment altitude, wingsuit, ...) "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Scotty, IMG_6015.jpg makes me wish I was there ... looks like fun! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    It was more aerobatic than acrobatic. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    On my 150th wingsuit flight I decided to try something different. After watching some aerobatic videos I decided why not try to focus on aerobatic flight instead of only focusing on flight performance in terms of horizontal speeds, vertical speeds, and glide ratios ... and it was a blast!

    Someone didn't get out of bed one day and decide that 200 jumps was a good number. Discussions of why 200 jumps for many skydiving activities can be found all over DZ.com. Groups will be formed, rules will be made, and people will be controlled. C'mon, that was too easy. You can do better than that, can't you? I'm Butters, that's the best insult I can muster at the moment. Groups will be formed, rules will be made, and people will be controlled for their own good. Agreed. PS: Enough is enough, I need to get to bed so that I can wake up early and practice backflying (working on those "skills").

    Oh well, I already have Phantom to play around in until I get the Vampire. I'm sure it will be worth the wait ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Actually, I've advocated the theory that wingsuiting is related to skills acquired through certain experiences. Before the "accepted" minimum? Yes. Well before the "accepted" minimum? No. How come you don't call out any of the "experienced" individuals calling themselves "instructors" that haven't followed the minimums with their students? The numbers are arbitrary. Have you met me? No. Have you flown with me? No. In this thread I recommended the exact same thing you did and yet you still attempted to use me as a punching bag. Does that big head on your shoulders affect your field of view or merely weigh you down? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Really, there is ... did you know that I've talked with Skittles? Apparently not. Oh well, I guess I'm not wise enough to seek the answers rather than brag and claim "skills". "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    The wingsuit scene in TX has been picking up for the last 4-5 years, but it wasn't untill Purple Mike got here that all the pics started showing up. If you want a flock, make one!

    I'd recommend listening to this recommendation. After all, it's not about numbers it's about skills ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    I just ordered a Vampire 3 and was given a lead time of 9 to 10 weeks. That's nothing ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Just because we like to wear expensive dresses doesn't make us gay ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Added one. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    I started motorcycling and skydiving at the same time. I'm probably going to sell my motorcycle this summer (and use the money to skydive) ... have fun and be safe. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    You might be itching if you tell the corporate world to get lost ... crabs, they're not just for dinner. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  18. Butters
    I flipped a coin ... it chose the same color scheme I have now (yellow body w/ orange wings).

    Another great video to be watched over and over again for inspiration. Thanks Matt! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    There are about 600 justifiable homicides a year, about 60% from the police and 40% from private citizens. 30,000 Total Gun Deaths - (15,000 Suicides + 600 Justifiable Homicides) = 14,400 Unjustifiable Homicides "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  21. Butters
    Another problem with using the number of gun deaths per year (besides suicides) is that it also counts criminals ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  22. Butters
    I'm glad to hear the wingsuit scene is picking up there. I can't wait until it picks up here ...

    Who's boasting about ignoring the recommendations? I was trying to give positive remarks and criticism. PS: This isn't elementary school where someone holds your hand while telling you what you need to know and what you can and can't do. This is skydiving where you are responsible for your safety. If reading a forum makes you feel safe ... YOU'RE AN IDIOT. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  24. Butters
    That is also a good response. As far as milestones, they should be based on skills instead of numbers. After all, there are "speshul" people who have the minimum skills sooner than others ... PS: Are you suggesting that I don't get it? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  25. Butters
    Right on. You can, when you see it, skip it. Right on. Current, confident, and comfortable. But then how will people give you positive remarks and criticism? Remarks like, that rocket feeling is fantastic. Criticism like, it's easier (and better) to find the sweet spot flying relative to someone else. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
