piisfish 135 #4 May 23, 2004 Quoteone guy does it on the soul flyers video which edition do you have ?? Ii didnt have a wingsuit jumping from a paraglider in mine the reason why I posted the thread here is because I know that people do jump from paragliders, I know many who did it. But did anyone do it with a wingsuit ?? Apparently there is a video posted somewhere, will try and catch it. Edited to add : Yes there is a thread with a video... but I have a black screen, will try and download a more up to date version of windows media player... In teh meantime, can anybody tell me if we see the exit ??scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leroydb 0 #6 May 23, 2004 i believe that might count as a jump since it was from "an aircraft".....Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redfox 0 #8 May 24, 2004 I have already jumped from a paraglider with a wingsuit. Paraglider was an Advance Bi Beta Tandem, I jumped with a FOX 285 and Vertex 2, Wingsuit was a BirdMan GTi. Search for a steeper starting place, because it is hard to run with the suit (Booties closed!). I hung to the Tandem via my 3-Rings and a sling on each side, but without a passenger harness - because you can't close the paraglider harness leg straps. So I hung a little bit higher than usual - to start earlier to fly than the tandem pilot. The leg zippers were closed, but the arm zippers open for the start. Additional I had attached two small ropes with a short ladder on the end, so after the start I can stand in this ladder. After the start I stepped into this small ladder and with this the forces on the 3-Rings are nearly zero - and stand quite comfortable leaning back to the pilot's harness. After a while I closed my arm zippers, and the pilot released the sling from my 3-Rings, so that I was free to jump. For the jump just try to step out head up - if you try to jump away you may go head down or even on your back very fast... Sorry I have no pictures here at work, but can deliver some next week. One of the first I have heard doing this was Stane, he made a demonstration flight at Bregenzerwald Cup (Austria) in January 2003 or earlier...
