Cool. I tried to Demo jump a PD 176-R as my main when I purchased my rig. We couldn't get one to demo at the time. Kris.

I'll jump out of any available plane. I probably have 30 or so cessna jumps. My First jump was out of a Cessna as well. I prefer otters for the faster climb rate and the 2-3 K of extra altitude. Kris.

If the Dytter/Protrack or timeout will fit there, the neptune will fit there as well. If you want exact dimensions they are 1.69" x 2.49" x 0.55". Kris.

Canopy control. It is a survival skill. Another rather important skill is to be able to tell when it is safer to not make a jump. Kris.

Another Sushi lover here.

Congrats!! When you are not ruling the world come flock with us. Kris.

Well, 20% off STOCK suits, past midsummer, may not mean anything is coming down the pipe... t Actually, I have been looking at the stock suits on the bird-man.com site for sometime. The stock has been practically the same for sometime. It seems like a regular 'clear the inventory' sale. Kris.

John, PhreeZone can give us tips on flocking. You should be able to fly with others with no issues at all. Let me know which weekend and I'll be there. I am hoping that I'll get my GTI in the last week of july(that would be 7 weeks). On another note. Hope Todd gets well soon. He is a really cool guy. Kris.

You don't plan on using all these tools on someone's body? do you?

Thanks for the advise manbird. I have noticed that as I get slower on the suit, my openings have got more delayed. I will work on going to relaxed flight prior to pull time. Kris

I will be there as well. Kris.

John, I am sorry I have been monopolizing that suit. I should have my own suit(GTI) before my next visit to SDC. Anyways, My first BM jump was a 100 MPH avg. Two of my jumps yesterday and one jump today were an average vertical speed of 55 mph. One of the jumps on 06/26/04 was 121 secs from 13100'. Kris.

Congrats on your first jump. I could'nt help but notice. There must be a typo in your post. Kris.

Actually bird people usually pull higher than they would pull on a normal skydive. Wingsuit BASE is a totally different "ball" game. Kris.

Birdpeople.

Yeah, I am very happy when I am in the air. I guess you can tell

Thanks Gus. Saskia, I expected that someone would say how bad my body position was on that jump. The reason is......... I had to fly like that to stay with the camera guy. He was heavier and shorter than me not to mention about 15 lbs of helmet/cameras on his head. He was flying a GTI. I had to fly below him so that it would be easy for him to get pics and video. If I get my legs all the way out....I would be an orange spec in the pics, being tall and skinny I get a lot of forward drive. You can tell from the video. I will post that shortly. Kris.

A few BM pics from my 3rd jump. Kris.

Cool. Every jump I have made since my first WS jump has been a WS jump. My rig is with the rigger for a repack and I asked for the BM mod to be done on it. I already have a 28" ZP PC with a 100" bridle. As for flying an S3...I''ll leave that to the Pros. Kris.

I registered.

I am 6'2" and 210 out the door. My nineth jump details : Exit : 11700 Deploy : 4500 FF Time : 82 Avg speed : 60 mph(TAS...SLAS is 58 mph. SDC is 680 ft above sea level). All I am doing is relaxing and letting the suit fly itself. So it might have more to do with our "wing loading" rather than skill.

Ordered GTI. Need to put a few more jumps this weekend on the classic.

Congrats!! I am the other new BM guy that jumped on saturday. I did'nt hang out for a long time on saturday but did you buy Beer??

I was'nt planning on doing a Birdman jump when I visted SDC this weekend. I did my first jump(3-way with the Video guy lurking) on Saturday a couple of loads after kallend did his WS Jump.. I went back on sunday and did 3 more jumps. One solo, one 3-way and a 2-way. Lots of fun!! I was flying a classic 2. I am going to order my GTI soooooon. Kris.

I paid my STP program in full as well. Ordered my Mirage when I had 23 jumps. 89 jumps and counting this month...should be able to make it 100.....weather looks good. Kris.
