WestCoast Wingsuit Weekend May 12-14th 2006
VectorBoy replied to bodypilot1's topic in Wing Suit Flying
Dude You are a rancher? That is way cool!!! -
She is hot. But not as hot as Girlfalldown who is really hot.... plus holds the Perris record for long distance wingsuit flight! Something like 27 kilometers, I'm not sure I didn't truck out to fetch her. But I'm sure I walked a fraction of that back to the DZ after trying to chase her down. Damn hot women!!

Blackwater forms skydiving team
VectorBoy replied to AndyMan's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
published in the May issue of Skydive Mag. Jerry McCauley, Chris Gay, Dave Richardson, Rusty Vest, and Jeff Cornelius. Now I have to kill you sorry man, I will try to make it painless!! I know how low your pain level is!!! Arvel Those were just "code" names. You can't kill over "code" names. They bring two avaition outfits with 23 aircraft. Do you think one of them is say an all black otter with a tail gunner position? -
Problem with atmonauti article in parachutist

If you are not flying horizontally, you are just falling down! I'm falling down all the time..... sometimes straight down. I found that tequila (tm) helps with the boo-boos -

BS, they may be backing away from it now due to the rash of criticism, but they have certainly used the term 'invented' multiple times in relation to this 'type' of flight, both in print and internet articles... You know if the big names in Freestyle from back in the day that did this "way back then" or the really big names in freefly currently don't have a problem in calling this atmonauti. And more importantly when these same fine folk Themselves organize a jump along these lines and they also embrace the "new" term Atmonauti. As in Omar is going to organize an Atmonauti jump. He called it an Atmonauti, it flew like an Atmonauti, the video looked like Atmonauti too me. So why do you have a problem with term if they don't? You are who and have invented what? -

If that blows your skirt up, you need to try wingsuiting. ATMO is just a very small taste of what wingsuiters already know You are right Babbbalicious!!! this shit is The type of Freeflying for a cross training wingsuitflyer. And it would be very similar to purposely head down wingsuit flight with the addition of variable droge chutes to stay on level with the rest of the flock-mo-nauts. DOOde you are one brilliant army bitch!! If the makers of wingsuits could just install a device, as an addition to their wingsuits that perform as a spoiler, deep flaperon , drag brake a wingsuiter could fly with the Atmonauts in the same flock-monauti using conventional winged gear adding just a touch of color to the same beautiful group. I dream of a world where skydivers no longer have to fall straight down where the jump pilots tell them to and instead can fly and navigate their trajectories as they see fit. to land on or off the Dz to gaze apon the beautiful smile of the young lady at the park. -
No training at all. Bailout rigs don't have to be used unless the aircraft ,powered or glider, will engage in acrobatics. Few pilots like some jumpers don't like "unusual attitudes" under a stable flying wing. Most real pilots could should be able to out accurately flare and land a square parachute in their bail-out rig for their first time better than a 20 something pre A liscense jumper!!!!!

Make it stop mommy, make it stop!!!!!! Oh come on. Its a few weeks away still. And last year you had good weather for it no? -
Funny story> Purple Mike use to fly some brand of full face helmet until he flew with some of the SoCal wingsuit guys that fly multi-point video and get close on every dive. That was it Mike had to get recognition: bye bye full face.
-
You are not going to get a flock the size of the Z-Flock, quit trying! Never quit trying, never surrender!!!!
-
Agreed, sucks for wingsuits also....... Be safe Ed Why is that Ed, the smallish door or the low tail? How does it compare to a caravan in those respects?

Very well said junkie!!! And I agree. Let us not forget the level of promotion. Marco and Gi are not out trying to sell badges, instructorships or franchises. They just want people to try and fly the Nauti. Because , yes it is fun. And they work hard at it. Is that bad? -

Come on now! Be nice. I really like the picture by Wendy Smith of the round,,, and that handsome fellow in the back ground. -
There is only one from the west coast????????? I thought they had lots of wingsuit players over there? WTF -- I guess they are just to good for us Hey now, I remember the "its hard for me to travel" Jason of a few years back. We understood then. And for whatever reason we can't make it so you now add insult to our jealousy? Actually our small group hasn't even flocked full force since October when Costyn was out. Most of them are cross training in the snow or hawaii doing other sports until we get good flocking weather. Due to schedule and weather I've only done two wingsuit jumps this year and one of those was an exit at 3,000 feet Hop-burn'n-pop. Trust me I wish I was there with you guys ! It sounds like it will be EPIC. Make sure you get video so you can tease us non-attendees even more in the months to come. Wishin you guys the best from the ground.

Hey check it out, some fool uploaded a new fangled flocking video to skydiving movies titled: "X-fest '04 Atmonauti" -
Not jumping this april fools day either, huh? I'm at work, whats your excuse Babba?

Dude... pretty much anything flies better than your S-3 prototype. That thing was a bitch to fly. I think the airlocks on the back weren't really working and letting all the air out again or something. But it was a fun jump anyways, although the most tiring wingsuit jump I've ever done. Cheers. It does bleed air but I've found that this aspect relieves the arm strain. In fact I had know idea about the S-3 arm pain until I tried Steve Manbird's production S-3, I spent a year thinking S-3 owners were whinners. But I believe it flys pretty much the same as any other S-3, without the equal amount of lift, felt mostly by the arms. Too bad Steve can't respond I'm curious if it was considered hard by others that have flown it. Glen

He went right under me and touched me lightly on the hips as he passed. The man has skills! Thank you Perry!!! That's a jump that I'll never forget.

>>>>>* No intakes on the back. But to be fair I haven't tried backflying it yet...stay tuned. I have found that the large openings in the suit for the rigs laterals allow a great deal of air inlet area ready to be used for back flying. My Matter 2 flies better on the back side than my prototype back vented airlocked S-3. I've got several jumps worth of video of a buddy backflying his M2 and later M3 the entire flock including the pattern turns and doin a fine job of it. You will love back flying in your M-3 when the time comes. Not that our older suits had any grommet problems but one of the mods I did to mine was to sew in soft housings to keep the cuttaway cables from straying all around the arm area. I also lowered the collar from Euro to a more casual western half as high look. Glen
