6:55 - what about tracksuit with bigger surface from PF - onesie? Is it not worth getting one as transition from skydiving into wingsuit flying? Thank you in advance if anyone can help😇 maybe another legend Jay Moledzki from PD? Or super laidback Melanie Curtis?or Chris "Douggs" as 4way australian champion( i think 8way too) 25 years in skydiving and base, about 15 years as instructor as i remember😇
@@Ijumpandfly Onepiece flying is fun as a sport/discipline on its own, but when you want to fly a wingsuit, its faster, easier and cheaper to just do the real thing :)
Great video! About to hit 300 jumps and last 80 were all in a dress. Great back flying advice. The second I brought my legs in backflying I was stable and feeling lift. Also did about 100 free fly jumps and only about 10 tracking/angle jumps beforehand
Since asking my question, I've doubled my wingsuit jump numbers and upgraded suits. I found a ton of value in this video. Thank you so much for this great content!
Yes. Subscribed! I want to vacation in Hawaii and the landscape just inspired me. Obviously I won’t be able to jump off a cliff this time. But I want to learn.
Is it too hard to maintain stability pulling the reserve in case of an emergency? Or are the cutaway/reserve handles placed in another area than the regular rig?
Most modern skydiving gear works for wingsuit flying, but once choosing it as a dedicated discipline a 9ft bridle (to clear the burble) is the main recommendation
Super sad accident in Switzerland this Wednesday during a wingsuit BASE. Super surreal someone with his skillset makes a mistake like that. So much knowledge and expertise lost with him. :( BSBD from NL.
@@SkydiveVibes absolutely. Books, videos then wind tunnel, continue aff, and go to sweden to wingsuit tunnel 🤞 i think JARNO doesnt need introduction, he is LEGEND.
This video came out on my 35th birthday! I dream of flying. Soon I will have the money to train. I can't help but feel that it is an elite sport for those with ALOT of money. Please, who is willing to train me? 🙏
HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL WING SUIT GLIDER PILOT IN MY BEST OPINION: If you are going to do this everything has to be just right. First make sure to wear your best clean underwear. Just in case you are brought to a hospital. Next is the suit. Make sure it is the correct model for your weight and gender. Eat lite that morning. Heavy food will affect your glide. Next, pack your chute yourself. Make sure to use the correct tallow on the chute cords so friction is reduced. Friction builds heat. Heat can melt the cord ends from the canopy. Make sure every chord is attached properly to the canopy. The chute itself should be properly sewn. The seams must run along the bias. Of course, all these things must be securely affixed to the pack. The pack straps must be strong but not made of metal. Knitted Nylon straps with plastic buckles are best. Make sure all 32 buckles are fastened before you jump. Then we must consider the wing suit. Do not make this yourself. Get a proper wing suit from a professional maker that uses their product themselves. Buy the optional wrist altimeter and ankle airspeed indicator. If you jump in winter you may want a heated pitot model. Also, deicing equipment might be considered for your wing leading edges. In fact, buy a second hand wing suit if you can because that way it has been tested. However, do not buy a used wing suit from a fat man or a fat woman because they may have overstressed it during their jumps. The suit should be crisp and starched to help support your arms. Most jumpers do not flap their arms but flapping is permissible in an emergency or to extend your flight. I am getting ahead of myself because there is much more prep needed before you jump. Wear gliding boots. If you do not know about gliding boots then you must not be in this sport. Do not use 'cheap' gliding boots. Buy the most expensive pair that you can afford. Now make sure your gliding wing suit has the aerodynamic lifting vanes from the collar to the wing edges. 12 vanes are preferred but more might be appropriate. Smear fresh butter inside each vane on every surface of each cavity. Use your fingers to avoid missing any spots, also to avoid snags. Now check the nylon rods. Each rod must be completely embedded into it's channel and stiched up tight! Count to be sure that you have 13 rods in each wing. 26 rods in total. If you weigh more than 183 pounds add 2 extra rods to each wing. That is, have a professional add them. Make sure that all stitching is adequate and not fraid. Your pants, shirt and socks should be made of fine silk. Silk slides through the air best. Silk is slick. Find a cliff base at least 1,000 meters in height. Make sure that the drop off has sides of rock or soil that is well tucked back, not less than 85 degrees to the launch point. Have someone you trust help you dress and suit up. Once you are dressed make sure to use the facilities before donning your gliding suit. Unlike a bird you will not be able to poop while flying. Now put on your suit and check and recheck every buckel. Adjust your straps tight but not so tight as to hinder your arms. Wave your arms up and down creating claps above your head to test your free arm movement. Put on your gliding gloves after lacing up your gliding boots. Wax your face with cannuba wax. Use the good kind from AutoZone. Hopefully you were well groomed before suiting up. Hopefully you remembered to use a deodorant. Now put on your helmet and make sure your goggles are clean. Now walk to the jump spot. Someone can begin filming now. It is best to walk little baby steps up to the edge. Control your fear. The worse thing you can imagine seldom happens, so don't think about that. Once you jump build up velocity until you reach the best flying speed. It is important to maintain your flying speed lest the ground arise and smite thee! Check that your rip chord is where it is supposed to be. They are called rip chords because if they fail you will "Rest In Peace". The rip chord handle should be signal orange for easy spotting during flight. Once you jump go head-first, straight down. Do NOT swan dive. The initial acceleration will be mind boggling. Terminal velocity will come quickly and you will soon be going well over 247 miles per hour. Now (this is most important) you must swoop. Swoop up hard as you can! Yes, the 'G' force will seem incredible but you must swoop up asap. Now extend your wings. Concentrate first on straight and level flight. Watch your wrist altimeter to make sure you do not fly below 300 feet above ground level. Use your ankle supported airspeed pitot system to maintain flying speed. Do not slow below 100 mph or equivalent kph. If you get too slow or too low you must open your chute without hesitation. Once your airspeed and altitude bleed down swoop up into a climb. Just before you stall pull your rip chord. Now look for a suitable landing area. Pick a spot near a concession area so you might refresh yourself before your crew arrives to take you home. If you are gentle with your suit and equipment you might easily get 43 jumps out of it minus however many jumps were made by others in it before you acquired it. Do not exceed 43 jumps total or the suit may fail. It will prove fatal if the suit fails. Also, use fresh underwear for each successful jump. For unsuccessful jumps it will not matter.

What did you learn in this video? Big takeaway?
Who should be the next coach to answer your questions?

@@Ijumpandfly @mccordia what do you think?

@@mccordia thank you so much for reply Jarno! You just saved me €1020 on buying one !😇 and maybe few other people as well😇
@SkydiveVibes, @mccordia Which one is better to learn? The Indoor Wingsuit tunnel in Stockholm or doing a Wingsuit First Flight Course?

Find a good coach and first wingsuit course
That is awesome! Thanks for watching!

Glad it helped!
RIP Jarno😢
Have you checked out the wingsuit wind tunnel? I’m thinking about getting a few hours in before taking it to the sky.
Yes. Subscribed! I want to vacation in Hawaii and the landscape just inspired me. Obviously I won’t be able to jump off a cliff this time. But I want to learn.
RIP Jarno

Really good video thank you.... Regarding the pilot what type, fabric, dyameter and Bridle Length would you suggest? thank you

Thanks for a really excellent vid!
Thanks for watching!!
Great video, thank you!
Good video informative 💯
But it’s difficult 😅
Thanks Kate
Keep working on it!!
RIP Jarno 🕊
Thank you!

Can you do one on freeflying?
Познавательно, спасибо. 👍🪂👍🪂👍🪂
Oh YES! Thank you 😉😊😊😊😊😊😊
Welcome! Are you looking to wingsuit?
Someday in the future, baby steps first, getting familiar with my body in the air.

Great video! (I'm was a Fly Like Brick co-founder ;-)

On the same subject, I would love to hear from Joke Sommers.
