---------------------------------------------------------- You know you guys were referring to 200 jumps recommendation for wingsuiting...but I thought that rec was 200 jumps in a year or a minimum of your D License requirement of 500 jumps total. Is this correct or did they update the SIM? You got a point there. I just read the SIM, it said minimum 500 jumps or 200 within 18 months :s that was kind of surprising... It seems a bit high IMO, but maybe that's just 'cause I can't wait to try it :) But the regulations are obviously different from place to place, because at Skydive Empuriabrava in Spain where I go to jump quite frequently, the minimum jump number to take their wingsuit course is just 200... But at the end of the day I guess being ready for wingsuit is a combination of jump numbers and experience like people say, so I will keep on jumping and wait patiently :) Blue skies

Sounds cool. Thanks guys, very helpfull :) Time to do some tracking jumps then! The weather is just shit for jumping in Denmark :( Blue skies

Hey guys. I am currently at 108 jumps and hope to one day give wingsuiting a go. It won't happen before I have at least 200 jumps, but I've been told that rather than focusing on jump numbers, it would be a good idea to focus on some techniques relevant for wingsuit. (still keeping jump numbers in mind of course). So my question is what should I practice in order to prepare myself for wingsuiting some day? I've been told that tracking is a good thing to improve, so I was also wondering if it would make sense to maybe buy a tracking suit for practicing? Thank you, and blue skies!

Sounds like a real douchebag to me... Unbelieable how inconsiderate some people are. But it's a good example to learn from. Personally I always make it one of my absolute top priorities to pay attention to other jumpers, aside from my own safety of course, and people who don't should be considering a different sport. Anyway thanks for replying :) Blue skies

Hey guys. I am an A license holder, have 64 jumps and I am in sort of a dilemma with regards to deciding when to start jumping with a camera. I won't do it until I have more jumps, the question is just how many more jumps. I mean, it is obviously a widely discussed topic on this forum, and everytime I browse through a thread in which people share their opinion on the mattter, I never seem to reach a conclusion. Of course there are a couple of arguments which are mentioned every time, such as the camera might create a disctraction for you, you might not be skilled enough to act correctly in case of an emergency etc. To me the logical solution seems to be an individual evaluation of the future cameraflyer. I mean if you jump frequently, have a three digit amount of jumps, have good flying skills and do not let the camera distract you at all, and all in all feel like you are ready to give it a go, isn't it in the end mostly up to the individual skydiver? And please don't get me wrong, I am not with my so far limited experience trying to sound or act like ''god's gift to skydiving'', believe me. I am not one of those overly confident jumpers who typically gets in over their head. I am simply a humble A license holder trying to learn from the best, and gain as much knowledge about a future step in skydiving before taking it. Thank you, and Blue skies!
