Martini 0 #12 September 20, 2006 Yep, I still plan on persuing head down. And I've taken my wingsuits head down several times. Whole lotta power there when you carve out.

daremrc 0 #20 September 22, 2006 im a student.... and this seems to be the discipline of skydiving im mostly interested in. I enjoy flying my canopy very much, but not into the risk/reward balance of HP landings... or trying to fly a hankerchief for a rig. RW/CRW/Freeflying all seem cool, but dont really jump out at me. wingsuits and the ability to slow freefall, track at a high speed, and cover distance all seem *very* cool to me. so, knowing that I'm at least a year if not 3 away from jumping any kind of wingsuit, what abilities and skills should I focus on to prime myself to be a good/better wingsuit flier later in my jumping career?Good judgement comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgement.

Martini 0 #23 September 22, 2006 What Brian said. Tracking especially translates to wingsuit flying, freeflying and rw give you a good sense of how to move your body through the air. Flying a wingsuit is pretty easy really, flying it well takes lots of jumps. It is interesting that most of the interest in wingsuits on this forum comes from low-time jumpers who already see what a blast wingsuis are. It's harder to get experienced jumpers involved, most that are interested have already joined the flock.Sometimes you eat the bear..............
