Good thing there was some nice soft snow there
I guess those are the hazards of dumping low on a WS jump.

Was there any damage to the canopy? and did you cut away or did the canopy give way?

Way to fly into that one. . .What happened? Zipper stuck? Confused? There was a good 10 seconds where you were out of the twists and still flying straight into the woods. . .
When I've had off headings WSBASE jumps I'll unzip the arm for the direction I need to go, turn then unzip the other arm. Ya don't need two arms to turn left. . .

Oh well, better than a water landing in that weather!

michi you are a jackass but we still love ya

thanks you :-) and I'm so proud I made it into basejumper.com with my video...
I only posted the vid so my friends can make fun of me, I deserve it after this jump.
First problem was I jumped with a broken booty and in really windy conditions. I suck at wingsuit flying but usually I fly a bigger circle and I still manage to pull much higher.
Second problem was a lazy pull and I had to grab a second time to nicely pull, but then I already was unstable which lead to linetwists and offheading. Linetwist was down at the risers and pinned my head down until I untwisted the twist.
Third problem was I first tried to open the zipper, then thought about it a second time and tried to reach the risers with closed zippers. After I could not do it I finally opened the zippers. Next time I will immediately go for the cut aways!
Fourth problem was that those trees are magnetic to me, they love me and need me.
Lesson learned is that I fucked up in various parts in only one jump and wasted another of my lives to this.
