Where I'm from, it's mostly towers. I'm going to be purchasing a wingsuit in spring. I will be getting training from a local wingsuit flyer and of course, seeking other people's opinion. My goal will be to jump big walls in europe about 9 months after that. So, let's skip the formalities of "how many jumps you have, what's your experience, etc. When I get confortable jumping out of planes with my wingsuit, I'm wondering if tall towers are a possibility. I have jumped in Florida and in down south. One favorite was a 2000 footer. I was surprise how the wind put me almost in to a head down position. So, would jumping a tower not be advisable? Does anyone currently take a wingsuit off of a tower?
Next, i'm looking at many wingsuits, considering a phantom or an acro. Is it neccesary to have the turning and carving abilities of an Acro wingsuit, or are turns subtle enough just for an intermediate wingsuit for walls.
All opinions are welcome.
Let me know.
