Wingsuit flying on the season kickoff in Kjerag, Norway.
Exit 4, 5, 8 and Smellveggen.
Action starts around 1:34. Had a very strange experience recently. About 3 seconds into my flight I almost got flipped on my back and continued to get buffeted by "turbulence" for a large portion of the flight. I put turbulence in parenthesis because I'm not sure what exactly caused it, either environmental conditions or the pilot(me). A similar thing happened two weeks ago from the same cliff with another experienced jumper. It was not super windy, though conditions where changing at the time I jumped with the winds having switched about 180 degrees in the past 10 minutes. Who knows, perhaps I was too stiff as I was trying some different techniques and perhaps need to relax more. I did notice that towards the end of the flight it looks like I have become slightly head high, but not sure if this is just an illusion. Next flight went much better going back to the basics and letting the suit fly itself. Also the first jump with the foot mount cam, nice angle, really like the view. Will be fun to get a really solid flight on video from this view.
WWWN speculative answer:
Seeing the head hanging beneath the body, suggest a bit overdoing the de-arching on the upper body. Causing a slighlty head-high position, and instability issues due to a slight stall. Just straigtening the body more, and letting the suit fly will probably do the trick. Though weather/enviroment issues with turbulence could very well be the cause. No experience in that arena.
Epic day at the W, Jacob and Kevin become the first ever to fly wingsuits off the 810' wall. Jacob flew 32sec, totally nailing it. Kev didn't get immediate flight and pitched, right move for sure. The rest of us went next, all great hucks.
EPIC DAY!!!
Another Epic year thanks to Remo and the crew at the BaWue Airgames. Ellen Brennan, Carson Klein, Mattt Gerdes, Scotty Freeland and Mike Steen put on a show never before seen over the Black Forrest. Enjoy!
This was actually my (Shaun Phillips) second ever wingsuit jump. It was my first jump on my Birdman GTi suit. We where jumping over Skydive Clewiston in Florida.
Wingsuit flying over the French Alps at Megève and in Gap, and a formation flight after the Italian wingsuit competition in Arezzo.Check it out!
And a final trip to the most beautifull place in the world.
