Taz 0 #1 November 21, 2005 Yesterday Edzard did his FFC with me at Pretoria Skydiving Club (Wonderboom) and casually flew his borrowed GTi (thanks John M!) at an average of 60mph vertical on his first three wingsuit jumps. At one point he got down to 51 and was covering max distance--it was a pleasure to fly with him! We may have a new base on our next wingsuit weekend! Congrats Edzard and welcome to the flock. -TIt's the Year of the Dragon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doringdraad 0 #12 November 21, 2005 Hi all, Yip what a rush (really hot in the King Air on my first jump). I will try to do a few more wingsuit jumps this weekend so I can come and play 03/04 December. Taya thanks for the great training and I would recommend training to all prospective wingsuit pilots. Party on Edzard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonto 1 #15 November 22, 2005 Dooringdraad! For all you drolle out there, the direct translation is "Thornwire" and means "Barbed wire." So that was your 1st wingsuit dive and your 1st post on DZ.com, eh? I'll collect my beer(s) from you on the 3rd after jumping! Taya's been going on about your performance on those 1st few flights. I wouldn't be suprised if all the guys on the flocking weekend are on a Bioslim crash diet... cos the rumour is you're going to be leading the flock with speeds in the 50's! Looking forward to it! tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
