If you wanted to do it, why did you wait until you had 500+ jumps to do it?
option 1: UK rules option 2: Not being in a rush and wanting to be competent skydiver before adding a wingsuit in the mix.
Both are great reasons to wait untill 500 jumps or more...of all good reasons to start wingsuit or any other dicipline or sport, rush is the worst one..

Welcome to bird-world. Your 45 second time is roughly double what you would have achieved in a regular skydive so you must have been flying OK. With practice you'll find you can stay up longer.
