Scott, it was great seeing you and jumping with you again. You put on a great weekend. Thanks so much for the excellent training and for providing demo wingsuits. It was fun to see the excitement and nervousness of skydivers as they prepared for their first wingsuit jump; and then see the big smile on their face when they landed ! I am hoping that from this we will have a few more diehard wingsuit flyers at SDA. (I am tired of doing solos!) Also, most of you don't know it, but inviting Scott down and having the wingsuit weekend was Trey's idea... thanks Trey ! ... Marion

Beautiful picture. If anyone wonders why we do what we do this should answer it. ... Marion

If you have a wingsuit... bring it. Chaoskitty fmmobley Goofyjumper Lauraliscious MicDuran NWFlyer popsjumper Rkymtnhigh Skinny Shrek Skydave Thanatos340 The_Don & Jeanier. Tmaricle55 Turtle Yardhippie ... Marion

I just noticed that in the top banner of this page is an ad for ASC which is a Skyride outfit.

Yea !! I plan to have my GTI. Doc may show up with his Prodigy and Gary Shaffer (GTI) might be talked into joining a flock. ... Marion

I am feeling a little embarassed at my own impatience... I got the wrist strap today. It probably just took a long time because it was mailed from Europe. L&B rocks ... Marion

Update... I have not received the promised strap. I also have not received answers to my two followup emails asking where it might be. Not sure what is going on. Maybe I have to rethink my opinion of them. ... Marion

Monroe is about 25 minutes from my house so for that reason alone I would probably go back. ... Marion

If you contact Aerodyne, they will send you a Pilot canopy to demo for a very small fee to cover shipping and let you jump it for two weekends. ... Marion

I am a beginner with only 39 wingsuit jumps on my Birdman GTI. I am mostly learning on my own as there are not many opportunities to jump with others at my DZ. The slowest vertical speed I have managed is 56 mph. I have read of some guys getting low 40's. I need some tips on how to slow that up. ... Marion

I picked up a barely-used GTI for only $400. It is my first wingsuit. ... Marion

I just got a new Pilot 168. It came with new soft links. They are in there somewhere. ... Marion

good idea. I have a little trouble getting my wingsuit zipped all the way down to my hand if I have a lot of bulky stuff around my wrist. ... Marion

I bought an Alti-Track, opened the box and realized the wrist strap is way too long. 4:20 ... I sent an email to L & B Cust Service inquiring about a shorter wrist strap. 5:25 ... I received an email from Mads Larsen stating that they would send me a shorter, free strap and it would go out the next day !!! No wonder Larsen & Brusgaard have so many loyal customers. ... Marion

They can race for pink slips ... Marion

I told someone who is an Aerodyne dealer about the problem and they told me that the ink Aerodyne used that year faded really fast and that it was an issue they were aware of. So there are probably many people with this problem. ... Marion

Are you guys still planning to fly wingsuits at the Farm Saturday? I just called and Hans told me they will be jumping he Cessna for one more week. ... Marion

Couldn't find it there. I have contacted both the retailer I purchased from, and the manufacturer and I think I will be getting the numbers from them. ... Marion

Last night I pulled it out my Aerodyne Triathlon and looked for the s/n on every rib. Could not find it. ... Marion

I am selling my canopy which is only two years and 246 jumps old, and I noticed the same thing. My serial number is so faded that I cannot read it. All the numbers are faded equally (I can barely read anything). I am now wondering where I can get the serial number in case a buyer wants to know it. ... Marion

Oh, your so in trouble for that statement!! GA folks came up to you and said hello!!

With a camo design it will be a lot harder to find the canopy if you ever have to cut it away. ... Marion

I had a blast. I didn't know a soul but met some great people while there. Being a newbie wingsuit flyer, it was wonderful to be around people with so much more experience. Thanks Scott, Chuck, Jeff. Larry, Pete, and the rest for all the tips and advice. ... Marion

Check this out. It gives a little more information. http://www.skydivingfatalities.info/ US vs Non-US fatalities looks almost even. Is it true that most jumps occur in the US? I have never seen statistics on that before. ... Marion

Any chance of us civilians getting to jump from the Blackhawk? ... Marion
