LouDiamond 1 #1 July 24, 2004 Make sure you stop by the Birdman tent and get a briefing from either myself or SM1 on how convention will be running this year and get your band marked. Otherwise you might find it hard to get on an A/C with a wingsuit on. This holds true even if you were at convention last year. Things have changed a bit and you also don't want to miss out on the great deals that will be going on and the organized flocking dives."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

SkymonkeyONE 3 #4 July 24, 2004 Same briefing. We (BM and Matter) will attend the same briefing each morning and be passing the same safety info onto the experienced wingsuit pilots in attendance. The bottom line here is that if you plan on flying your wingsuit at the convention, you need the "WS" annotation on your wristband. You will be able to get that from either tent.

diablopilot 2 #5 July 24, 2004 QuoteWill the briefings also be availble from the Matter tent? Absolutly. I'm sure both companies primary interest at WFFC is for all wingsuiters to have a fun and SAFE time. I hope to make some jumps with the almighty SkyMonkey One myself!---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Chuck What is the definition of "experienced wingsuit pilot"?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diablopilot 2 #8 July 25, 2004 QuoteWhat is the definition of "experienced wingsuit pilot"? I guess I'd say anyone who has made wingsuit jumps before and shows up with their own suit. Anyone else is going to have to get a briefing if they come to my tent and meet the minimum requirements for Rantoul. (500 jumps+) That sound about right Chuck?---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouDiamond 1 #9 July 25, 2004 500 jumps minimum for first timers wanting to try a suit. Everyone who flys a suit must check in either at Birdman or Matter and get briefed regardless if it is a rental or your own suit."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

LouDiamond 1 #11 July 26, 2004 QuoteHow long is the briefing and is it offered all day Briefing is about 5 mins and it can be given anytime during the jumping day. Once you receive the briefing and your convention band is marked you are good for the remainder of your time at WFFC."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
