  1. That's a great question. When proxy flying you have to dive the suit below the suits trim angle in order to generate speed ,which can then be converted into glide when needed.There are a few different ways to dive the suit that I use - raking the arms back , lowering the chest by bending at the waist, lowering the chest by bending at the waist and then matching the leg wing angle to the chest angle.
    The one thing that proxy videos don't show very well is just how steep the terrain that is being flown actually is.

  2. Quote

    2 wingsuit groups per load are fairly safe, anything more it starts to get dangerous. Each solo counts as a group.



    Just an idea here for the solos and 2 ways on a wingsuit only load - say jump run is from East to West right over the runway.

    The first group exits and flies an out and back pattern to the North.

    The second group exits and flies an out and back to the South. The groups should not cross the flight line (runway) until under canopy.

    The 3rd group goes North, the 4th South and we'll put the 5 way out last, 2 miles West of the last group for a straight flight back to the airport.

    With plenty of time between groups do you think this would be safe ? (I'm not a big fan of out and backs, but for the sake of the load ).

  3. This exit is in need of a new jug line.

    Anyone willing to donate a rope in decent condition would be much appreciated.

  4. Yeah.....
    Reminds me of a jump
    275' overhung 42" stowed 1 second delay
    low snatch force so you never quite feel the pins pop
    just as the ground rush kicks in your saying," I sure hope my shit is coming out" ....

    Forget about that dying stuff, give it your best PLF.
