andy2 0 #1 April 23, 2003 This may be a newbie question, but how hard is it to run on the ground in a wingsuit? Say if you were trying to run away from someone at full speed, would the suit hinder your movements? Just curious, thanks --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't typically attach the leg until you get in the airplane (or just before) and you typically take the leg off after you are under canopy. Though I have waddled out to the plane many-o-times. So yes, when you see Tomb Raider.. it isn't possible :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #4 April 23, 2003 As a follow-up, have any of you SF3 jumpers found that it's easier to walk/run in the SF3? (Rather than the SF1)? Being able to run is quite important to me (for launching cliff flights, and occasionally landing low deployments), and this is one area in which the old Classic far outperformed my SF. I've heard that the SF3 has a larger leg wing, though, and I was wondering if anyone had found it easier to run in.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManBird 0 #5 April 23, 2003 One person who was jumping the SF1 at DeLand and now jumps the SF3 claims that he couldn't get up the steps to the Otter with a zipped up SF1, but has no problem walking around with the SF3. I'll try running in mine as soon as it comes in. In fact, I'll wear my Heelies and go rolling through downtown with a wingsuit on, shouting, "COMPACT GUITAR!". It'll be awesome."¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom, the wing is bigger than the SF1 however, does not afford nearly the stride of the classic 2 suits. If you want to see one, come on out to the DZ and you can looky at mine.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I have a GTI & SF3, yes the leg wing is enormous on the SF3 and so in theory it is easier to move however you're not going to go from a turtle to a hare.. you can simply waddle faster :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
