imfalling 0 #1 December 16, 2010 Anyone know if there is a record for fastest flat fly speed? Just cracked 291kph (180.8mph) today in baggy pants and a wing jacket. Thinking 300+ wouldnt be too hard in a tight fitting suit! Previous best was 276kph, on my belly with people comfortably flying head up with me :) Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even sports jump footage cannot be used. It's BS. I almost lost my job for uploading footage of my first mal. I have a photo of my N3 displaying the speed (@ 12k) after the jump that I can upload - but that doesnt prove I was on my belly at the time of the recorded speed. I know I did it, wouldn't post it otherwise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joellercoaster 6 #7 December 16, 2010 I'm not a tank by any stretch so I'm sure there are people who can go a lot faster. But my best average (exit to deployment) was 165mph.

skyrider 0 #9 December 16, 2010 We didnt have anything to record speed when I blew my back out, but I was filming just under 600 pounds of tandem and we were Hauling ass! Due to blowing out a disc while doing so, I wouldn't recommend trying to go that fast on your belly, it isn't worth it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #10 December 16, 2010 QuoteAnyone know if there is a record for fastest flat fly speed? Just cracked 291kph (180.8mph) today in baggy pants and a wing jacket. And how did you do that? Were you wearing weights? Do you weigh 400 lbs.? Can you arch so hard that you're bent in half? Was it a drogueless tandem? Color me skeptical... QuoteThinking 300+ wouldnt be too hard in a tight fitting suit! I assume you're talking here of kph, and not mph. You are not going to get 300 mph on your belly.

SlipstreamBRO 0 #14 December 16, 2010 Well there's your first problem...Never trust your neptune for speed. I have one jump showing I was doing 283 MPH head up and a bunch of others showing above 200 MPH on my belly. So, don't go by your alti. I highly doubt you hit 180 on your belly, no matter how fat the tandem was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VTmotoMike08 0 #18 December 16, 2010 I heard a rumor once that Craig Gerard could lay on the net on his belly at the Arizona tunnel when it was running at 100%. Don't know what that equates to speed wise but its gotta be smokin. He's really fit too, and apparently super flexible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would think a HIGHLY EXPERIENCED skydivin man who thinks he can actually fall at 330 MPH ( and not burble spoof the Protrack), would show up to an International Speed Skydiving World Cup meet and PROVE it against the best in the world.
