leroydb 0 #1 June 26, 2005 I just got to scan through Scotts book today and I can say that he covers alot! He covers everything from flying techniques, GPS and other tools such as the protrack and skytronic and how their use in skyflying as aid's help us progress skyflying general, and even includes a section on wingsuit B.A.S.E. and much more! I think this is going to be a great read (and even better if you apply the techniques) for anyone involved in wingsuit flying or possibly even you trackers out there http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/safety/detail_page.cgi?ID=587Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...

leroydb 0 #4 June 26, 2005 I want to also note that IT IS NOT windsuit specific. He covers a bunch of different suits, so DO NOT think it is manufacturer specific.Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...

bbarnhouse 0 #5 June 26, 2005 The photos are color, and the illustrations show correct body positions. I think this may take wing suit flying to an entirely new level. It is not a book about BirdMan, it IS a book about wing suit flying. It's going to be worth every penny, and a useful tool for all birds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouDiamond 1 #9 July 14, 2005 QuoteSo how long after 3 aug do we that preordered get ours? That is dependant on where one lives. International orders will obviously take slightly longer to arrive but all others should arrive shortly after the release date dependant on the postal system."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

droquette 0 #24 August 19, 2005 I got my copy at the WFFC... I think it is really informative. It covers so many aspects of WS flying from body position to the aerodynamics. I also think that it is really up to date with the info and pics all the way up to the PHI and V1. Thanks for making such a great WS book. I am sure many people including myself can get a LOT out of this material. blue skies and puffy clouds... DanHISPA 72 ----- "Muff Brother" 3733 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
