``` Most pilots think a good start is measured by where you cross the 45-degree line. JJ Bruno thinks that number arrives about eight seconds too late. A wingsuit BASE jumper since 2018 and a software…

From your perspective, but do you think wingsuiters rely too much on instincts or maybe not enough?
And then I think you can kind of mix in a little bit of like analysis and actual hard data and always sort of going back and forth between the two to make yourself, in my opinion, a more well-rounded
When people talk about, you know, a good exit, What do you think they're usually measuring incorrectly?
I mean, the perfect exit data-wise is like the million-dollar question, right? I think the most common thing I hear lately is the, what's your cross one-to-one number? Which is basically if you put an arbitrary 45-degree line from the exit, at what point do you cross that in your start arc? So, for example, like, you know, 200 meters down by 200 out.
It's just a little bit late in the start arc for modern suits to be super relevant.
Usually you're probably hitting your cross at anywhere between 8 to 11 seconds in flight, whereas the start, in my opinion, is within the first few seconds.
It's in your interest to build up as much energy as you can, given the altitude that you have, as opposed to always just trying to fly straight out.
Lately, I put into the app a 40x number, and that basically is how much vertical did it take you to get 40 meters out.
