Do you mean you have to take the speed flying gear as "extra luggage" ?
Pretty easy to handle in my opinion. Just don't let anything get in the way of your handles.

Maybe ask around to some people with military jumps or serious demo experience.
Where do you jump usually ?

Pack up the speedwing as small as possible. Put it in a reversible mountain harness. Put the backpack on backwards on your chest, then put your skydive rig on normal. Lots of potential for cluttering up handles and trapping bridles but if ya gotta do it.
Other possibility is some folks make cutaway risers for chopping PG/SW from a rig with hip rings. If you can find a set and your skydiving rig has hip rings you could jump a small speedwing bagged and stuffed down a jumpsuit(again check for handle interference.) Then fly it with your skydive harness. Shoot and post video.

sounds like a good idea! maybe a 1 piece tracking suit, put in the wing. the normal "harness" is a bit big. but there are some really nice lightweight rigs! i think that works! :)
