2011 - 03 - FLB Schaffen Bigway Weekend #2
Close Call Wingsuiting
This is exactly what I want to avoid in the future. Unintended risk. This should never have happened. If you follow me on Facebook, you can expect to see more information coming up on how I plan to maximize safety while still achieving my most extreme goals. I hope that as many people as possible learn from this so that it doesn't happen again.
So, what went wrong?
- I should have been paying less attention to video and more to my environment.
- I should have deployed sooner.
- I was on the left side of the group and should have stayed further left toward the end of the flight. I actually turned right slightly as I was filming the deployment and that's why this was a close call instead of a safe flyby from further away.
Jumpography 2010
A 2010 Skydive Twin Cities Film Fest Entry from Roger That Productions. I filmed the majority of the footage, but a good portion was collected from others. I could not have made this without the help of my friends who are credited in the video.

GoPro and Wingsuits
Advertising extention mounts often seen in the skydive and base enviroment, this video shows exactly why its not the best idea to actually use them.
Freeze frame at 0:29 and see how close this person gets to a full horse-shoe malfunction, entangling the lines of his main with the raised camera mount.

Wired covers wingsuit video
Wired.com has a short article with some explanatory text for whuffo's accompanying a video posted to Vimeo by Richard Schneider, which we've already featured of course. :)
Reading comments on articles like these is always amusing... thankfully there are some people with a clue that respond with actual information.
Check it out here.
Australian flocking?
This Australian news site says local wingsuiter Hayden Galvin will be leading "32 of Australia's best skydivers and base jumpers as they hone their skills in one of the world's most extreme sports." Except they don't mention leading in what... I imagine they mean a flock or a record attempt? Anyone have the scoop on this.
Also, apparently we here in Europe train our wingsuits in wind tunnels?
The sport is huge in Europe, where competitors train in wind tunnels, while their Australian counterparts practise by jumping out of planesFirst I've heard of it... ;-)
Check out the article here.

Fly in the Huasteca to the world
In his tour of royal lands, the "bird men" @JonDeVore and Mike Swanson, soared into the skies of La Huasteca, with amazing costumes, "wingsuit" to document and project to the world the natural beauty of Santa Catarina.
Through the Municipal Institute for Youth, the best jumpers in the world considered were the necessary steps to raise your flight and spread their wings in the stunning mountainous landscape.
Abdiel Nañez Badillo, Director of Imjusanta, said the "flying" is offered not only to promote the beauty of La Huasteca, but to promote extreme sports through its sponsor.
"People who promote them in all places where they go, they approached us to see what the chances are of having another type of extreme sports in Santa Catarina and we're working to give young people options," said Badillo Nañez .
Jon DeVore and Mike Swanson were very smiling with all the people passing by and they stopped their car at the height of which was above the Esplanade de La Huasteca.
Shortly after 9:00 pm, two paratroopers spread their "wingsuit" to provide a spectacular setting on its descent to 500 feet from the Pico Independence called the Via Ferrata.
These provided a well-deserved applause for the "bird men" who continue to conduct their events on Thursday from the moment you pop out the first rays of sun in La Huasteca and also the rebate will practice the so-called Wall of Los Gatos.

Fun Wingsuit Jump From 18,000 ft. at Skydive Santa Barbara
I’m jealous of Charles Odeyemi playing with his GoPro HD camera and new wingsuit from 18,000 feet. I love this camera angle, and the scenery at Skydive Santa Barbara in southern California isn’t too shabby either! What’s the furthest distance you’ve covered in a wingsuit?

Salman jumps from 10,000 ft
Still desperately trying to convince media that it wasnt seasoned wingsuit flyers, but in fact an actor without any skydiving or basejump experience that was doing loops and rolls in the new Mountain Dew advert, here is another news article on Salman Kahn.
