Birdman_Mike 0 #4 January 31, 2009 Thanks Spot for putting me on the cover!! Spot gathered a few wingsuit pilots to make this video in Sebastian, FL over the holidays. Although Spot is well known for his quick video editing skills, I was amazed that he was able to produce this professional video (as well as a few others) in under a month! As usual, Scotty Burns captured some amazing video! Thanks Scotty for making me look good. Justin Shorb did a great job of hosting this video. In the demonstration of the double pooper exit it was very hard not to look directly at the camera. So, we had to do a few takes. Thanks for being patient Justin. I believe that the official release of this DVD is in a couple of weeks. Also, I think that there are a few teaser clips being released on YouTube or Vimeo. Maybe, someone will post a link to them here. Finally, I thank Chuck Blue for teaching me how to backfly P.S. The running poop exit is now known as a diarrhea exit!

mnskydiver688 0 #6 January 31, 2009 Oh Mike your being modest! Tell them just how much of an impact your enthusiasm, and spirit had on the attitude and voice of the video. Get those pics of the V3 yet?Sky Canyon Wingsuiters Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #7 January 31, 2009 Yes...Scotty jumped the gun a little. This was supposed to be secret til NEXT Friday.Malcolm, we took great caution to assure that Mike's voice isn't heard on the DVD. Just his smile alone is overwhelming. You HAVE to see it to believe it. You can see a bit of Justin's performance here. Put your wingsuit on and follow along.And yes, Scotty did an awesome job of capturing this footage in the air and on the ground. Even Zach made it into these videos, as did Heffro/Jeff, Chuck Blue, Scott Bland, Sobey, Andreea, the Grays, Callantine, Taya, Norman Kent, Monkey, Stoney, Rick, and SO many others...we tried to thank everyone, but I'm sure we missed a few names. The 202 disc has Scotty Burns FIRST EVER video edit in it, made of the World Record event at Elsinore, plus other unseen/exclusive footage of that event.

mccordia 74 #11 February 1, 2009 Quote Looks cool. What will they have that's over and above what's already on line? Yea..the DVD clips on youtube and vimeo are nice.. Looking forward to seeing the complete DVD. And also eager to know what else is on there.. To those who PM-ed/mailed me and other people from FlockU/FLB looking for conspiricies and bitch fights...The more information and instruction there is on wingsuit flying, the better. And even though (as some people seemed to take Maccas comment) its easy to go into similar territory when it comes to video and/or instruction, The worst that could happen is that people have more choice when it comes to what they want to do and learn. And it also pushes everyone to work harder making better and better teaching materials...which benefits safety and skills a lot in the long run.. This is why I gladly supported the guys in their DVD efforts, and also got to assist with some small graphics contributions..and Im looking forward to the final result, and actually think its the first commercialy available information of this sort (besides the very basic FFC/wingsuit info already out there.) If you're looking for a fight, watch WWF or Jerry Springer...if you want to jump, fly and have fun...come to a dropzone and leave the drama at homeGood stuff guys...JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

DSE 5 #12 February 1, 2009 The online stuff are just a few segments from the DVDs, each DVD is about an hour (Tandem editing vid is a lot longer). LOTS of eye-candy. Aside from the many jumps shot just for this project, we also went through Scotty Burns library over the past year to find shots that illustrated the topic being discussed. There is exclusive content never seen before from the 71Way, Lodi, Flock n' Dock, Puerto Rico 08, Pepperell, Elsinore, Eloy, and all the skills camps from 2008. Heffro did a few backfly jumps for this project and shows off a couple tricks no one has really seen him do yet, like the "McTwist." Lots of ground exercises for those looking to get into wingsuiting, or for those that are ground-bound due to weather/season. Scotty Burns did his first-ever video edit job on one of the DVDs, of his best-ever shots. Scotty also has a great cameo appearance where he talks about the caveats and benefits of flying a camera with a wingsuit, and what/when/how to get started flying a wingsuit camera. Jarno did a terrific wingsuit animation and some super transitional pieces for the project. All in all, at least 20 people heavily contributed to this project. You get to see Heffro *trying* to act like a student, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LederHose 0 #13 February 2, 2009 It looks that a lot of effort is put to this DVD and even real "professionals" have some touch on it, right? Sadly, talking about the available clip, there is one think I can not understand how it can happened to "professionals". Why the guy who is talking, wear sunglasses? Is he cross-eyed or squint? It irritates me when I don't see someone's eyes. Especially, when it is instructional video. It may be OK for friends or Youtube videos but for DVD with this intention... ...and the aircraft noise in the background... I think "professionals" should think about it... :-( If you can change it, maybe I can reconsider my decision about it. Right now, sorry, it is - NO thanks!

LederHose 0 #16 February 2, 2009 Different cultures, different manners, different habits, different expectations... Would you buy car from the guy you don't see his eyes?..as would Americans ask... I see one of "professionals" jump immediately on this... They may be your friends, this may be your work, but that does not mean there are no things to do better...

Hagen 0 #17 February 2, 2009 it's not about cultures - it's about common sense. I'm gonna buy this video (though I normally do not buy stuff like this - I download it for free, it's my culture ) to LEARN something from it, not to buy a car or anything.

LederHose 0 #18 February 2, 2009 Oh, yes! It is about learning... They are the basics you learn on any communication course. That is my point for the "professionals"... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeemax 0 #19 February 2, 2009 Quote as some people seemed to take Maccas comment Jeeeeeeeesus... are some people just looking for fights?! I was asking what else the DVD would feature in addition to the clips that had already been posted. I was genuinely interested to know what was going to be on the DVD's. Would you jump on someone who saw a trailer for a film then asked someone who had seen it what else happens? Can't we all just get along? We're a small enough minority as it is!

How dare they fail to take into account the eye pleasing nature of the serif, which allows text to be read far more elegantly and smoothly than those horrid sans serifs like Arial. Dear Lord, how did the possibly let that slip by! I shall boycott this until there are serifs and even ligatures!
