RkyMtnHigh 0 #5 August 12, 2006 Well, if there aren't any wingsuits there, I'm sure you'll have many converted very soon.

Birdman_Mike 0 #8 August 14, 2006 We had a great time at the Ranch. Thanks Yuri, Pete, and Wayne for some nice flights. Also, Alex did well on his first Prodigy jump, and I hope to see him fly it again. Let's do it again next weekend! P.S. Yuri has some nice HD video of me :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

980 0 #12 August 15, 2006 QuoteHe's retired. [sarcasm]Because he learned how to fit in socially at the dropzone so now he’s too cool to jump a wingsuit…. I would have linked the thread/posts that JP stated that most wingsuit jumpers only jump a wingsuit because they want to look cool and no-one wants to talk to them because they do not fit in socially anyways. [/sarcasm] He has like a million posts, so I gave up searching after 15 minutes. Please link us that post, JP, thanks!

Yeah, I'm sure that's it. Say, you don't have a small penis do you? Maybe JP sold it because he wanted to buy other expensive toys. Maybe JP got tired of trying to deal with the "experts" (read: kids with credit cards) Maybe JP got tired of seeing people do things in an unsafe and willy-nilly way (like jumping a wingsuit sans legstraps, and putting up jumpers with less than 150 jumps who are still having trouble tracking in a straight line) when trying to provide a structured learning environment.

Its a shame how the discipline of wing suits is far and away leading all of the others in reckless unnecessary risk taking by a very large margin.

VectorBoy 0 #25 August 16, 2006 anyways, I'd he happy when I see more skydivers in wingsuits than any other jumpsuit! Even if they are mostly just experts with credit cards? What if they can't track? I personally fly wingsuits to be cool. If everybody has one how then I would have to be cool-er. Do you know how much work and effort that would take? It would probably just be easier to go out and do a bunch of jumps and get a bunch of flying skills. I like it the way it is, put on the suit and bam instant kool!!!!
