FlyLikeBrick Flight Manual - Video #7

Recommended Posts

We've just added a new video to our website on forward speed.
time vs distance would probably have been a good alternative title.

If you click here you will be taken to the new video.

This subject seemed to be easiest to explain with 3D animation, the next flight manual will have some old-fashioned video in there again for the purists;)

The true die-hard techies will probably disagree with the explanation given, but for us, this seemed like the simplest and most logical explanation for the beginning wingsuit-pilots this video is aimed at

Ill be uploading a slighly tweaked version in a few minutes, as the arrows under the body seem to make more sense pointing the other way (thank you hans;))

If anyone has any comments, questions or improvements on any of the video learning materials we have on our website, please let us know.
If its stuff that can improve the learning, then do help us in making it better!

Jarno, you have to reveal your music sources every time when you create a new video - your choice is always perfect:):D



Costyn and I are just always listening to music.
Even during the ride up in the plane you can often spot us with our MP3 players (Alejandro is listening to his French lessons, so he's less music oriented:P)
For every minute of music used for a video, we probably listened to 20 hours of music, and we just pick songs based on our own taste from that....B|

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now, whenever I watch a porn movie with a poor choice of music, I just launch FlyLikeBrick Flight Manual - Video #7, minimize its window, mute the porn music and...............

On a side note, your illustration of the relative wind hitting the flyer from behind... well, I've never seen anything like this, even in gay porn movies!

I dont see any relative wind coming from behind, just the force of gravity and the direction your should FEEL it pushing you (as thats easiest to explain to someone new to flying)

We decided to focus on showing new flyers in a simple illustration what you are trying to acomplish when going for more forward speed, instead of more stally flights for time.

The first page of the video also states, its not about the actual math and whats happening in flight. Its just a description of how it feels.
But maybe you where to upset by the incorrect placement of arrows to actually read the text.
Its a briefing that works really well in real life, so we figured we'd give it a try in this form.

But if you think one of your 25 page explanations with a dozen uncomprehensable mathematical equations will explain it better, feel free to copy our music and submit that one;)

Watch the PA's clogboy! :P



If yuri wants to contribute on the well ment tutorial videos for beginners we make, why not just send us some actual comments in an email or PM on how to improve the videos (clear and understandable) instead of cheap stabs?

But I'll be a good stroopwafel eating clogboy...promise!;)

Note in the illustration that there is a very rare vortex know as the Yuri Sucks Anti-Laminar Flow Vortex appearing over the wingsuit flyers back. Astonishing!!!

Jarno...good work on proving these phenomenon do exist.

Jarno, that's AWESOME!!! Can you send me a bigger version? I want to frame it and put on the wall!

I always post "stabs" in light mood, I don't actually mean it. Sorry. But it works - a timeless piece of art is born!!! :)

This always happens...

I make fun of Yuri..he loves it..
I make fun of james as Robi's mini-me midget helper, and james asks me for a full-res copy...whats wrong with you people:P

Or Im just damn good of course..:P;)

I dont have a version bigger then that, as bigger would mean Id have to look into actual numbers and specifics..but if you're a good boy..who knows..:P
