The111 1 #1 December 12, 2003 There is another topic about Loic's slope swoop that I won't hijack... But the other day I showed the video to a friend at work. He loved it, but today he told me that he showed it to several of his friends and none of them believed it was real, they thought there were special effects involved. I thought that was funny. Anyone else ever experience anything like this? I've had many strange reactions when showing videos to whuffos, but never this one.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorBoy 0 #2 December 12, 2003 Co-workers always thought I was just nuts as a skydiver. Then I showed them Loic's slope swoop and pics of my skyflyer and they are completely blown away in a much more positive way. From just plain crazy to extremely cool bird-man. Although we all know once you try it you will really be crazy addicted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrogNog 1 #3 December 13, 2003 Well, once you see a movie starring a talking mouse, what's real anymore? That's why watching the vids isn't what it's all about. It's about falling out personally. -=-=-=-=- Pull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GraficO 0 #5 December 17, 2003 The Loic footage is part of the new Warren Miller Ski film Journey. http://www.warrenmiller.com Why don't you email Warren Miller productions directly and ask about the footage?

Read my post again - I only asked if any other jumpers had shown this video to whuffos and had the whuffos think it was a hoax.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I recall, a few people on this very website thought the video was faked when they first saw it. It ain't just whuffos. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GraficO 0 #8 December 22, 2003 My bad... I didn't type out my complete thought... what I meant to say was have a disbelieving whuffo or jumper email Warren Miller... Anyone I've shown that clip to immediately asked me if it was possible. Seeing other footage of Loic and some stuff that Deug did way back... hell yeah it's possible.
