CanuckInUSA 0 #5 April 19, 2004 Hey I wasn't taught any secret Birdman hand shake. The CReW dogs taught me their secret handshake, but not the flockers. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouDiamond 1 #7 April 19, 2004 QuoteHey I wasn't taught any secret Birdman hand shake Substandard training! Who trained you? I don't think you've really been trained. I think you're trying to infiltrate the flock. Any good Birdman would of shown you the "Handshake""It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #8 April 19, 2004 It's also possible that I was shown the secret handshake and forgot it. I mean after all my first wingsuit jump was almost one year ago and I'm having a hard time remembing what I did this morning. Hey I made 18 wingsuit jumps this weekend out in Eloy (giving me a grand total of 21 to date) and when not making radical turns my ProTrack usually reads averages in the mid to upper 50s. I wouldn't say I'm maxing out my GTi yet, but jumping it alot sure has help me get to know it better.

ManBird 0 #9 April 19, 2004 QuoteHey I wasn't taught any secret Birdman hand shake.Oh, man. That's just a crime. I don't really even care for it, but there's no way I'd leave it out my training. You'd better get with a BM-I and do the whole FFC all over again. Pay extra for video, too."¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #12 April 19, 2004 QuoteThat's insane, man! Good for you! And the rest of us were whining after just a few! That was 18 wingsuit jumps made over four days. Thursday I made six wingsuit jumps and no freefly jumps before the winds grounded us at around 3 pm. Friday I got an earlier start and made another six wingsuit jumps and three freefly jumps before the winds grounded us at around 4 pm. Saturday I got another earlier start and made two wingsuit jumps and three freefly jumps before the winds grounded us at around noon. Sunday finally was a day where the winds cooperated and I made four wingsuit jumps and five freefly jumps. But I had to leave the DZ by 5 pm. Oh it would have been five wingsuit and four freefly jumps, but Gillian offered to jump with me on my last jump of the weekend (she also made other jumps with me this weekend as well) and who's crazy enough to say NO to a member of the women's freefly world record team. So it wasn't like I made 18 wingsuit jumps in two days. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
