Zeemax 0 #27 March 17, 2008 This is such old news guys... Top Gun member Bo Weinberg landed his wingsuit without the use of a parachute nearly a year ago! He went with the 'soft snow' method and survived without so much as a scratch. Is he a hero? I think so...

monkycndo 0 #28 March 17, 2008 There were plenty of cameras capturing the historic, dare I say it, momentous event. There was discussion between all the vidiots involved as to which news broadcast group they wanted to sell this incredible footage to. Hope Stoney's nose is healing.50 donations so far.

mgstone 0 #33 March 17, 2008 My dad called me while I was working today to tell me the great news. Unfortunately because I'm a teacher and I was in front of my class, I wasn't able to answer the phone and speak with him immediately following this historic jump. I'm extremely proud of my father's accomplishment today! Now will somebody please put a video up so I can watch the d*mn thing. I love you dad! Congratulations!!!

Congratulations! ~Jake That was the practice jump in the red suit. He pulled just before landing. You can see he was wearing a rig. Stoney didn't like the speeds he was getting, so he decided to go with a bigger suit. The actual landed jump was in the yellow suit, and without a rig.50 donations so far. Give it a try.

I think he could have pulled it off on that one too if he would not have been crosswind, look at the landing arrow. I can't seem to find my memory card with the actual jump, i have a great picture of him in freefall just before touch down. I will post it as soon as i find it so we can stop the disbelief here.

ScottGray 0 #39 March 18, 2008 I am happy to report that Ray is recovering nicely from his minor injuries. He had requested that Chris and I capture the ground video of the landing. We initially refused, as we did not want to record a very likely bad outcome. After some detailed discussion as to the specifics of how we would actually film the landing and after some test jumps with significant review of the data we agreed. The video is in process, in collaboration with a local professional video production company for official release. I really can not say much more than that at this time. Stay tuned. Well done Ray, glad you are still with us.WSI-5 / PFI-51 / EGI-112 / S-Fly The Brothers Gray Wing Suit Academy Contact us for first flight and basic flocking courses at your DZ or boogie. www.thebrothersgray.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then the Gray brothers announced that they where asked to do video, which is highly unlikely, as EVERYBODY knows they are the last 2 people on the planet to ask if you want something framed and actually showing up as more then a pixelJC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
