The111 1 #2 November 24, 2005 I'd imagine it lets him control his front risers with his feet... I was curious about the helmet on his head, looked like a weird "conehead" d-box for a topmount camera or something.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
174fps 1 #3 November 24, 2005 CReW formations sink on the camera flyer with smaller formations you can compensate by flying a smaller canopy, wearing weights etc with larger formations a device that allows you to use leg power, is a lot easier than pulling on front risers for several minutes.

Even though it says "front riser" I believe it is actually set up to control the rear risers. Look at the pic, as well as common sense might dictate that one would need to "float" not dive their canopy for an extended period of time. Disclaimer: I am NOT a CReW dog!!!

Yes, and Bryan Scott and Tom Plonka do not jump small heavily loaded canopies, and they're not exactly young guns either.
