  2. I have a velocity you can jump with it if you want? Seriously, as others have said, walk before you can run. If you want to come up to Sibson, i'd be happy to jump with you and help you progress at a more sensible pace
  3. Yeah, that's what we said in the UK... Now look what's happened... http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk/cms/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17514 Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  4. Getting out of the heat may be an issue... We're in a 'heat wave' right now. Perhaps not quite as hot as over there, but you know the UK, we're not able to deal with any form of weather change, so there's very little AC about.... Bring shorts! Give me a shout if you make it to Sibson, would be good to have a beer. Have you still got my number?
  5. I'd tell them to go tracking... Not so easy to do that in a tunnel Also, you can't open that many canopies in the tunnel, so that's something to consider. It's not just about jump numbers either, it's about mental maturity and the 'switched on-ness' of the jumper in question.

  6. It's always easy to say this for people like you, who already achieved that and are enjoying it... you are making the very wrong assumption that I have achieved everything I want to in skydiving. If that were the case, I wouldn't be jumping any more Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  7. In a number of countries it's a minimum of 200[/] jumps to fly a camera set up, and even then a high percentage of people shouldn't be jumping one at that stage. Even if you do, it's going to be a while before anyone wants to pay your slots until you can prove you can actually fly your body to keep things in frame. Also, racking up jump numbers like this is not going to get you in a wingsuit any quicker. If someone showed up to me at jump 200 with 100 camera jumps, i'd tell them to do some more jumping. Learn how to actually fly your body, then come back. 200 jumps really isn't a lot. Forget about the wingsuit for now and instead get to the DZ, jump your ass off and have as much fun as you can while doing it. Learn as much as you can, and just skydive. Then, a couple of years down the line, when you have some good experience behind you, think again about getting into wingsuiting. The sky will always be there. No need to rush.

    Holy crap, you're still alive? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  11. Why do you care what I think? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  12. Who said it offended me? I just asked why everything needed the tag 'record'? Why not just say, 'we're hoping to build a 16 way'? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  13. Seriously, in the nicest possible way, is it possible for you guys to do something without needing class it as a record / record attempt? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  14. Brilliant video, and brilliant performance!

    Aren't we supposed to applaud him for using the search function? Nah, this is the wingsuit forum. In here, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

    Why'd you bring up a thread from over a year ago?! Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  17. I personally wouldn't use the BASE pouch for skydiving use. I've witnessed too many premature deployments from using it in a skydiving environment, one resulting in a cutaway. There's no need at all to use it while skydiving, your BOC works just fine ;) The only exception really is if you're training muscle memory for BASE.

  18. Does this technically mean he's the first person to land a wingsuit? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  19. As some of you may be aware, during April our good friend James Boole had an accident while filming for a Russian TV project. Due to focussing on the subject he was filming, and while flying into a snow filled volcano he became disorientated and impacted into the ground before his BASE canopy had a chance to deploy and is extremely lucky to still be alive. Several UK news outlets are covering the story today in typical wuffo speak, claims like 'forgot his chute' are being thrown around, which is a shame considering they were given the real details. Anyhow, more information, and a link to the video of accident ( ), can be found on World Wide Wingsuit News - here But in the mean time, get well soon J, rest up and heal fast
  20. Can't be too far off as I have demo a demo op176 and an op193 sitting with me here as we speak Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  21. Did you lube the cables up with a very small amount of silicone spray before lacing them in? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  22. For those based in the UK, we will be having the UK premier of Fly The Line 2 at Skydive Hibaldstow tomorrow night (sat). I've just bought enough pop corn to feed a small nation, so come on down to check it out
  23. They're easy to make. Take a regular iPhone, leave it in your under pants for a month, making sure you don't wash. It makes it pretty funky... Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  24. Hey all, We've just updated World Wide Wingsuit news with details of a new wingsuit BASE jumping game for the iPhone / iTouch. Check it out here: http://news.flylikebrick.com/2009/05/got-iphone-itouch.html That is all!
