Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Steve Hubbard: Rules, Judges, and the Craft of Keeping Competition Fair
Q: Why is the ISC important to like a competitor, for example?
Hubbard explains that the ISC governs international competition, with involvement in meetings as a US representative, and outlines how committees for each discipline create rules under the wider ISC/FAI framework, making the organization central to how rules are proposed, debated, and adopted.
Anna Mueller: Booster Wings, Reverse-Calculating Everything, and Bringing the Coaches to You
Q: Has becoming an organizer changed your own relationship with wingsuiting?
Yes. Taking on the organizing role pushed Anna to improve and become more engaged with the sport, transforming her from a below-average to an average wingsuiter with more friends to fly with.
Patrick Kramer: Going All In, World Titles, and the Art of Being a Student Again
Q: How did competition change the way that you approached training and discipline?
Competition raised his daily commitment to flying, driving him to train every day and pursue the World Championships, but afterward he realized the value of continuing to explore other facets of flying rather than chasing a single outcome.
Pete Allum: Fundamentals, Beginner's Mind, and the Craft of Canopy Flight
Q: Has learning wingsuiting changed the way you think about canopy flight?
Pete explains that the approach to learning has shaped his understanding of canopy flight, emphasizing controlled progression, mastering fundamentals, and applying the same careful learning mindset he uses in wingsuiting to canopy work.
Sam Hardy: Systems, Terrain Flying, and Building Repeatable Lines
Q: What's the most important lesson for someone starting terrain flying?
Take it slow, seek mentorship, and don't rush into lines or high-glide scenarios before developing a solid, repeatable approach.
