low speed with Pantz

Recommended Posts

I just got my Pantz, and have done two jumps with them. On the first I noticed that I didn't just have enough lifting power on my upper body to make full advantage of the leg power they provided. On the next jump I took a Drymaxx hiking jacket (like GoreTex) and was able to get the maximum lift from my upper body together with leg power from the pantz. I was able to slow down to 126km/h average (78mph) vertical speed, and was going wery fast horizontally. It felt almost like flying a Classic :) I was amazed.

That's about what I get with an RW-suit (with booties) - avg 80 mph, low sometimes 50 to 60 mph. The fun part starts when you actually feel you're getting lift from your head and upper body. Once I was having such a good time I actually decided against turning back towards the DZ and landed some 2 miles out, covering 2½ to 3 miles total. I still haven't figured out the perfect angle of attack though.

I am. I think.
