Looks like alot of fun. I wish my body could handle these fun things again. If your really looking for a rush, Join the army. Become a paratrooper and jump out of a c130 from only 300 ft On this what will be your free fall time untill you deploy the chute. Does it autmaticaiy release or you pull the cord yourself. ---

About a 2-3 second delay for self pull jumps. 0 second delay for first 1 or 2 jumps (pilot chute assist from instructor) ---

Need at least 200 skydives to fly a wingsuit, I have 170. I will definitely try it, I just don’t want to try and tackle too much at once. This isn’t a sport to “rush”. Wingsuit BASE is extremely dangerous. ---
