never heard of anybody else doing this. you can fly circles around bellyflyers and tandems with the classic. not sure about the skyflyer. push your chest out and keep arms out but high and behind you. 100+mph vertical fallrate is no problem. but because of forward speed all you can do is fly in circles. i wouldn't recommend it on anything more than a 2-way.

Something has changed from these days... This post was dated 2002. No more than 2-way...:o

I have been able to do this with my Tony Suits Aero wingsuit. Verys cool on tracking dives. My brother has done same with his Aero as well. I have had my wingsuit in a 160+ MPH dive, positioning for a tandem pass.

Yes this is alot of fun. Just keep your eyes peeled for all the trackers.

Last weekend I had 201MPH on my neptune during my diving approach down to the tracking group. :o

Just like Robi says...airspeed equals lift...so pulling out of a steep dive provides lots of lift and drive. Just use it wisely.
