funks 1 #1 December 28, 2004 Just watched the Jeb and luigi video on the go fast website, crazy shit... Got me thinking..Which do you think requires more skill... flying that vx39 canopy relative to Jeb, or flying the wingsuit relative to Luigi? (yes, i know they both require mad skills, but does one require more than the other???) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albatross 0 #2 December 29, 2004 I think that flyign the wing suit is trickier, BUT Landing the 39 is definitely the most insane thing I have heard ofChris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 2 #3 December 29, 2004 I think their plan to land the wingsuit is more crazy than both put together. What are they gonna do, strap landing gear to his chest? Check this shit out__ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albatross 0 #5 December 29, 2004 Agreed that landing the wingsuit is a huge accident waiting to happen. I am actually more worried about him doing it without injury and people copying him!!!!Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChileRelleno 0 #7 December 29, 2004 I'd have to say Jeb flying the wingsuit in close formation with the VX39 required more skill than holding the VX39 steady, BUT! (A big but) landing the VX39 requires more canopy skills than probably any 100 average canopy pilots/skydivers combined. Not saying it doesn't take mad skills to fly VX39, just saying that IMO the wingsuit flight took more skills.
