Wuh? Thought you liked a good fight, P***y? Be Safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Just spit coffee all over my laptop, thanks. Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Because more Instructors on a DZ makes it more safe? Is this a DZ rule? Or were you letting the Instructor know what is more safe? Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

And if that doesn't work, knock'em the fuck out. A good friend will then understand your seriously concerned for their safety. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

None, but the airhose up stuck up his arse was turned on too high. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

The tandems at the DZ I normally jump at ask me, every load I'm, on to fly by them so I usually oblige, given they are flying in a straight line in the direction I've asked them to

Very well said my friend.

Best to show them to a rigger BEFORE you jump it again. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Umm, wrong fatality. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

It's cool that you got the quality pants in the fast time that you did.

Unless it breaks before extracting the pin. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Yes, they will let you out at any altitude you like on any given load. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Bravo

Who's the big boss? Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

I think it's much cooler to use this thread. Cooler? Why is that? Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Sounds like a new thread to me...... Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Not true. Lodi has H&P's for $5 to 3K or $8 to 5K. There are many done a week long. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

59mph sounds like you have a great 2nd flight! Congrats on your new wings!

You dont need a million dollars to stat a small C182 DZ, so dont let anyone tell you that. How about find out the demographics of the area you'd like to start your DZ? Have your DZ in an area thats not going to support your drop zone with customers will only lead to it's failer. Then I'd say you should get a tandem rating, since that will be your main money maker for your DZ, if your going to be the one instructing. There plenty used tandem rigs on the market to get you started. Then work on your riggers ticket so you dont have to send out your rigs to get repacks. Find a plane out there at a resonable price and find a local pilot looking to build time, and is insurable to fly your loads for $8 a load, like alot of places do. Then work you ass off from sunrise to sundown every weekend and forget about getting any fun jumps in...... Good luck!

It's funny how the argument of "how effective" can a Wingsuit Instructor be while in the air always comes up. It's been discussed numerous times before, and concluded with, "No, the instructor can not catch you in the air physically", to correct your body position like an AFF I can do. And sometimes the instructor can not catch the student at all, even to give hand signals for body position or to give heading corrections! This I have seen happens during AFF jumps also. Somehow the argument always turns to the BMI program thats the "student money milking" program everyones against, then it always turns into a PF suit BM suit thing, and it just plain stupid. A few of Trae's complaints is also posted in the S&T forum and say's, eg 2 AFF pushing students through the course too quickly not allowing time for newbies to absorb sufficient information. This would also sometimes apply to a first time low jump number wingsuit flyer. Or this, eg 3 Low jump number people let loose on the wingsuiting world by low jump number BMi instructors. How would the Phoenix Fly instructional program be better to solve this complaint that he has? It doesn't. While I'm NOT writing this to argue that one program is better then the other, or what suit flys better or has more performance then the other, if we are wanting to be cautious of who we have in wingsuits before we "let them loose on the wingsuit world", as Trae would say, how about taking alittle time with the student that wants to fly a wingsuit. Simply doing a training jump, non wingsuit, with the exit and flight pattern and body positioning the same as if they had the wingsuit on, would give a better idea if they are ready for jumping a wingsuit. Wingsuits aren't hard to fly, alot of people do not need such lengthly instruction on the ground or in the air, but then again, some do. Take the time and professionalism to show someone the correct way to enjoy a wingsuit and be safe about doing it, not only for their own safety, but teach them to have concideration for other people safety that are in the air with them too. And for the Instructors that try to baffle their way through with bullshit, try and continue to learn to be better in areas you know your lacking in, whether it be organizing skills, RW skills that strongly apply to flocking, or your own flying skills, that will help you never hear that someone is bragging of outflying you with only 10 wingsuit jumps, or even working on your skills at making friends of those you are jumping with. Be safe and just have fun you Flockers.
