Fall foliage & jumping out of stuff

[EvilSteve]

Indeed they do. I don't have enough jumps to wingsuit but I'm really keen to try it when I do.

It may sound silly that I really don't have too much of an interest in free fall skydiving (although have never been) but wingsuit flying just sounds incredible. I read now that with the newer suits they are getting 3:1 glide ratios and reducing the average vertical speed to 45mph, that must be a completely different experience. I see that you need 200/500 jumps before you get to try one of these it might be enough to motivate me to do it but that is a huge commitment. With the amount of money I've spent on flight training to try and soar like the birds I could have bought a 1098 by now. My obsession with flight have resulted in more skiing and motorcycling because I liken the sensation and freedom of control to that of being in the air. I have to say right now I am tight on $$$ and lack the time to take up another adrenaline seeking activity but that is certainly one of the coolest airborne pursuits I have ever seen and I'm sure I will force myself to make it happen.  What happened to the drooling icon!?!?

There's a guy talking about trying to land a wingsuit, NASA is helping. :-|

I did my 100th jump this past weekend, if I can get the video on youtube, I'll post it.

Thanks guys.

I've posted a higher quality version from vimeo (I'll have to get my bike vids on there too) because it's way better quality.

Enjoy.

Yeah, that wasn't me. It was a friend of mine. I'm a pansy when it comes to pulling low.

Definitely up for a jump though. I'll probably be getting my coach rating next year so if any of you bastids want coach jumps, let me know.

I jumped 3 times at Ranch. Lemme know if u ever wanna go i am available for this kind of stuff anytime
