wingsuit jumps w Jeff

4th & 5th wingsuit jumps with Jeff Nebelkopf over Skydive Sebastian.
video & coaching: Jeff Nebelkopf

In these jumps, I'm learning the basic wingsuit flight position (the straight body position for lots of forward movement) and the de-arched position (the bent position for more height).

I didn't realize how old this video was. How've you been progressing?

Hey, Andy! Have done a few more wingsuit jumps since then (about 12-13 total?) -- and I still love it! Haven't jumped nearly enough as I've wanted to this past year, so feel like progress has been slow, but steady. Am now flying my wingsuit better (more de-arched/slower - covering more ground) and can dock on other wingsuiters. Next up: cloudsurfing! How's flying for you these days? thx for the comment!

Very cool! Make sure to video a close cloud surf. I still enjoy a highpull on a clouded day, offers some fun "Birds of Prey" playing with friends.

I'm a few years away from wanting to play with wingsuits at this rate. I've been getting my sitfly down probably start to focus on some coaching to fine tune things. That and working on a little head down here and there. Wish I had more time, if I'm lucky I've gotten close to 2-3 on the weekend. Otherwise lots and lots of work to do. :)

at 2:35 how come you cant exit like regular skiydivers. keep your arms and legs close to your body so wings dont fil up with air until later and you wont have to avoid the back of the plane
