mccordia 73 #1 November 15, 2007 I dont know if Im the only one, but I often wondered how fun it would be to make a high bungy-jump with a wingsuit on. Jimmy Pouchert decided to skip the 'what if', and just do it.. http://www.bird-man.com/blog/index.php?cat=9 Cant wait to see the video!! Not real 'news', but I decided to copy it from the often read and of course well known Birdman blog...what? Birdman has a blogJC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

PhoenixRising 0 #2 November 15, 2007 ya I read about it in skydiving mag. Great idea and I'll def do it at some point. Only prob is he didnt get very far cause the rope was to heavy. From the looks of it he was flying a firebird. Maybe more surface area would have made the difference. We should do that in a SM1 and see the difference.Justin Wingsuit organizing, first flight courses and coaching Flock University Tonysuits Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 73 #3 November 15, 2007 Attach a big hook to your wingsuit, and a big loop at the end of the Bungy, and aim to catch it at the end of your flight...aircraft carrier stylee...That elliminates the weight issue!

PhoenixRising 0 #6 November 16, 2007 Tony, Let's build a bungee specific wingsuit. It can have a huge surface area. And a hook on the tailwing to catch the bungee!
