Alright we are getting close---just for planning purposes those of you who want to try a wingsuit this weekend I would like to know when you will be there so I can plan for a first flight class. brits17 turtle Jen wendy Let me know if I forgot anyone Kris -- Bob Futrell will be there on Fri with his suit so you have someone to fly with I would like to do the first flight classes with more than 1 jumper at a time but I will do what ever it takes to get you in the air!!!!! I will be there about 8:30 am Sat Please let me know your plans so I can plan Thanks Voodew The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

Just to let everyone planning on going that everything is set I have secured a wide range of wingsuit sizes and look forward to helping you taste my passion! I would like to put out a giant thank you to all that have loaned, rented, or sold suits at a cheap price so that I will be able to help others fly!! See you there bright and early Saturday morning I believe that I have a suit to fit everyone that has inquired with the exception of Aggiedave--Sorry dude Thanks again to all who have helped The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

N/A

I always wear my camera and am willing to give up the footage---it would be nice if Ted could get some video of me but for some reason I always end up a little floaty and above him!!! Not really (actualy it is true I just wanted to spare his ego) The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

I am looking to rent/buy a cheap classic in the 5'2" range for demo purposes at the AOT Boogie the end of Sept---can anybody help? I am doing this all on my own so cheap or a rental would be great The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

I would just like to know how much other instructors(both tandem, AFF, and SL) get compensated per jump and what kind of benefit your DZ provides such as discounted jumps etc. The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

You're about to cross the line---no f*&^in' with the wingsuit dudes and dudettes. I have waited to long to get a good size flock together and out of a tailgate to boot. I must stand up for them, all of them from the "pint size" to the "overflowin' bucket type" Did I really write that or just think it? The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

I don't think it would be a problem if you plan on doing a lot of wingsuit flights to remain more "in touch" with the suit. I have never flown an S3 due to everyone saying what a workout it is on the upper body. There have even been injuries to the shoulders from flying the suit. Just doesn't sound like fun to me. The Pheonix suit is supposed to have less upper body pressure. For just fun time use when not working I would suggest the GTI. The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

I am sad to say that unless I can find a smaller suit I am not sure that I will be able to help out the "pint size" wanta flyers out there. The suit I have will probably only go to about 5'6"--5'5" and fly stable. I would not feel comfortable putting someone out on this suit as we did a test flight with a "half pint" and the suit flew her. It was not her first flight! If any one knows of anybody with a small classic 1 or 2 that would be willing to rent it out for the weekend I will pay for it - and purchase it if it gets damaged in any way!! PLEASE HELP PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

I am going to try that this weekend---you guys come up with the best games---and if we use different colors my suit will be tie dye The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

Actually there is a really good chance as you should fit in my extra suit----as long as I don't need it for some one else it will be available and the rental will be more than reasonable. The downside is that this is the suit that most of the "pint sized" jumpers will need---we will work something out The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

The BMI (Birdman Instructor) is already a sponsorship they have incentive to sell one brand. The incentive is a free $1500 suit. The wingsuit market which is its own little part of the skydiving market--People wanting to buy a wingsuit are a seperate market just as someone wanting to buy a crossbraced canopy. Do you plan to jump your wing suit or just loan it out -- because we have enough for a good size flocking dive----lets fly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

***Once I can quit my day job and do what I want, I guarantee you I will be making a state wide tour of all the Texas DZs. Hurry up you don't need a fricken job anyway The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

I have to agree with Dave on this one. Birdman wants jumpers to buy their suit. To get jumpers to buy their suit they must advertise. Advertising is not cheap. The BMIs need to find out why they are BMIs-is it for the money? If so I don't understand! It should be because they want others to experience what they love. The BMIs get the bonus of a free jump and money for the ground school-plus if they sell suits they get points towards a free suit of any size which they can keep or sell. If the BMI truly loves what he or she does than you should talk to the company that gave you the rating and tell them to help with travel arrangements. There are a few new up and coming wingsuit companies, the competition should help. Will there be a PFI(Pheonix Fly Instructor) or a MSI (Matter Suit Instructor) if so I wouldn't want a instructor who works for birdman to also be an instructor for a competitor. Maybe these companies will look at sending instructors to boogies to sell suits because they don't own the market any more!!!! Sorry to rant on The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

As for Birdman they sent out an email to see if any of the BMI's would attend. The only response I got was from Scott(Lou Diamond) who wanted to come but is not available. The wingsuit just isn't very popular in the big state of Texas---I hope to change that one day!!!! The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

Due to the overwhelming demand for "pint sized" suits I am in the process of having a length shorting system attached to the legs of my classic 1. I should be able to get down around 5' 2" ish. If it works like I think I will modify the back of the suit to make it tigher in the chest area. The draw back to this is I only have 1 suit I can modify and it will only go smaller-- not bigger than original. Brit - think I can fit you - you've flown one before haven't you? The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

I have been asked to tell everyone that I am not a BMI --- I am a USPA AFFI and Coach -- I have taught numerous first jump classes for wingsuits and introduced a number of people to wingsuit flights- but I am not a BMI! Hope this clarifies everything. Pricing is $20 less than a BMI would charge. Ground school free Your slot plus my slot --approx $40 The use of privately owned suits --1 jump ticket to the owner (which he or she has the right to waive) The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

Quote I've jumped Forest McBrides I0-550 Cessna 182, and it took 4 of us to 12,000 in about 12 minutes. but i remember Forest saying the mod was not cheap at all! This mod will make the plane climb great, fast, and to extreme altitudes but the price of jugs and other parts that seem to wear out rather quickly is also extreme The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

I am trying to find out how many people would like to try a wingsuit at the Casa Boogie. As of right now I have a Classic 1-- 5'10" 160lbs Classic 1 - 6' 200lbs GTI 6'1" 180lbs GTI 5'8" 235lbs and a couple of others The fee will be my slot and your slot plus (since all of these suits are loaned by jumpers at the boogie) a requested jump ticket for the owner of the suit. The approx $60 price will include ground training and 1 in air evaulation/coaching with video(no guarantee on the video) You must meet current USPA guidelines --200 jumps within 18 months and have the proper style rig. I will be arriving early Sat morning and leaving Sun at dark. Let me know if you are interested and qualified. The suit sizes above will fit most people unless you are extremely small or large.

***I want to be an instructor so bad, just need to save up the money one of these days. aurgh!!!! Hey rat-- How about I just let you touch me so you can know what it feels like!!!!!!!!! HA!!! As for the requirements the only change was from a D lic to a C which means that nothing changed at all still the same!!!! By the way just so you know I know deep in my heart I am funny and I know you know I am funny too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

And the flock grows---this is going to rock The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

If anyone is wanting to fly a wingsuit and is qualified as per the USPA SIM please let me know and PM me with you height and weight so I can try to come up with a suit. Right now I have a pretty good selection. I will be there early Sat morning---possible Fri but there would have to be enough interest to justify taking of work. Thanks Dave you might fit Kris's suit The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

I had the same problem and it was all in the packing method. To properly pack a Sabre you must roll the nose, twist the tail tightly and stuff it in a bag in the back of your closet with a note saying don't open until you have a new chiroprator! Worked great it hasn't opened hard since The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
