The111 0 #1 April 11, 2009 ... the wingsuit scene, at least. For those of you who don't know, Texas has a flock! I've been living here about a year now, and in that short time I've seen the flock grow both in size and skill. Purple Mike is spreading the fever (who knows what else he is spreading) at Skydive Houston and the surrounding area. I know he is planning to have our very own event here soon, so keep your eyes open and hopefully he posts something about it. Remember, we are conveniently located between the east and west coasts... we are the third coast! And, we've got puffies... For now, some photos of what we've been up to for the past several months: http://www.matthoover.com/gallery/skydiving-photos/2008-06/ http://www.matthoover.com/gallery/skydiving-photos/2008-10/ http://www.matthoover.com/gallery/skydiving-photos/2008-12/ http://www.matthoover.com/gallery/skydiving-photos/2009-03/ Of particular interest is the double pooper exit shot. Now dubbed the poo-poo. And last but not least, 2 special photos of Purple Mike attached to this post. Remember, as a kid, when your parents told you to stop making that funny face, or it would stick? Here's why...www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butters 0 #5 April 14, 2009 I'm glad to hear the wingsuit scene is picking up there. I can't wait until it picks up here ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moonglo 0 #6 April 17, 2009 Nope, that's Guil in a V2 Edit: it's early, I know an Atom is a container, not wingsuit! It might be an Atom or other non-TSOed rig since he's French, I'm not sure. When Markus visited from Germany we had an Atom in TX. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The wingsuit scene in TX has been picking up for the last 4-5 years, but it wasn't untill Purple Mike got here that all the pics started showing up.

It grew from an occasional to two regulars and an occasional last year ... hopefully we'll add one or two more regulars this year. PS: I visited your site after flying with John at Couch Freaks.
