Gear stolen at lodi this afternoon
bodypilot1 replied to AndrewKarnowski's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
#1 rule at ANY drop zone. Do NOT leave your gear in your car. Sadly thieves are everywhere.... www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com -

Getting back to DZ from a bad spot.
bodypilot1 replied to npgraphicdesign's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
The correct way to get back from a bad spot is to pull higher. Know more about what the winds are doing, instead of relying on the pilot to do it for you! www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com -

True, but at those joints you can get a go-around if the spot is bad. I'd be 2.5 times less pissed off if I got a bad spot and had to ride the plane down if my ticket was only $10. The truth is, if landing off didn't get my booted off the DZ, and I wasn't on a back to back, I'd just get out anyway. I'm not about to land in some farmers field, or inaccesible place, I'll just set it down by the side of the road, daisy-chain my lines and start walking. No need to for me, or anyone coming to get me, to trespass or destroy any crops or property, so it's a non-issue. Where did you hear a bad spot will get you booted off any dz? This issue is about wingsuits and trackers flying to a piont that they can not land back on the dz where everyone else on the load did. Do you fly a wingsuit? Or have you ever jumped at Lodi? www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

On the one hand, I want to say that's a pretty shitty way of handling a bad spot, but for $10 it actually sounds about right. Pilots at $24 jump ticket drop zones spot bad at times. It's still you choice to exit, or not.... www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Bill does not "put you out", nor does anyone make you jump. You make the choice to exit a plane. It's a wingsuit pilot, tracker or any jumper for that matter, to know winds aloft and where to exit. Should you not like the pilots spot, simply ride the plane back to the ground. Simple as that. www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Byron and it's jumpers are awesome. Make no mistake, we will be flying there more often.

Hello I will be organizing at Byron, along the other members of Team Ill Vision. Please look for me and I will give you an airport wingsuit briefing before you fly. www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Please do not mistake this banning as being caused by some idiot wingsuit pilots only. There is good number of idiot freefly tracking groups that can not seem to navigate and land back on the dz, which caused this banning as well. A sad fact to this banning is, that freefly groups are secretly still tracking, AND navigating this time, go figure. Unfortunatly "they" can board the plane with a jumpsuit and track, while the wingsuit pilots are easily rejected from even boarding the plane....... www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Exactly. Unfortunatly the major damage done was by trackers and freefly tracking groups landing out. Further talks with the farmer that is complaining has reveiled, it's not the jumpers so much landing in the vineyard, but instead they are pissed about the people Bill makes go over and pick them up. They drive around locked gates and all over the property to find the jumper or cutaway gear that may have landed there. www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Experience Switching from Palm Downs to Palms Up
bodypilot1 replied to Titanium_Gecko's topic in Wing Suit Flying
When you are standing, place your open hands on your hips. Now bring your arms out as if your holding a barrel under each arm. The palms are not actually facing up, but instead facing the sides of your body. Try flying with your hands relaxed, finger tips grips, and not over working your arms on your flights. www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com -
No, but I can land an Otter in my backyard! www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

It's just intermission..... Other options are in the works The WestCoast wingsuit scene will rock on! www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

But with the opposition out of the way, it wont be long someone will convince USPA to implement a rating..... Then what? www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
-
But Glen, the website says; "All BIRDMAN training centers will continue their operations as normal, as will the BirdMan Instructor (BMI) program; the ratings stay unaffected." Your legancy of ridicule does not need to end!! Carry on Buddy!..... www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
