BETO74 0 #7 August 4, 2003 I must tell you is the best free fly suits, I'm not at home but I can give you the web site and chucks phone number, I can also tell you that I got a freefly suit with the conversion to a camera suit, you can attach the wings to it simmilar to what birdman uses to cut them away, anyway , trying the wings on a 4 way rw that I was planning to video tape I got out the plane holding the door because there was no camera step and my hand strap got cough on the door hinch. So here I 'am hagging off the plane for 7 sec when I remember I can easily cut away the wing, cut it and landed safe with an amazing video, I been to busy to post this in any othe forum but I can tell you Da' Kine are the best, The best part , was the wing landed with the plane so I still have my suit, I'll be sending you Chucks address and website when I get home.

mr2mk1g 10 #9 August 4, 2003 The web site has been down for weeks. When I e-mailed I was told it would be back up again within the week but that was 2-3 weeks ago and still no site. Their e-mail is priestc001@hawaii.rr.com and they do respond to you after a while. Hope that helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PilotMike 0 #10 August 8, 2003 According to the DaKine guy at Rantoul, they are "getting out of the business." Didn't say exactly when...you might be too late (at least for a custom one). -------- Benefitting from the 'free capture of verticality.' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rogue108 0 #11 August 9, 2003 I heard Nike rumor about a year ago, at that time he was trying to cut a deal with Nike and sell the business to them. The most recent news I have heard is that he has lucrative business offers outside of skydiving and will probably leave the industry. This all hearsay though. However, I know he has made suits for people that have contacted him directly. The new Monkey Claw suits are nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowflake 0 #12 August 9, 2003 QuoteThe most recent news I have heard is that he has lucrative business offers outside of skydiving and will probably leave the industry. I went kiteboarding and besides the boards and canopies half the stuff in the shop was Da Kine they also make gearbags for snowboarding. BTW Kiteboarding rocks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
