The111 1 #1 October 6, 2004 I am pretty sure I am going to go to the DZ.com boogie in Eloy. I'm guessing there will be some nice opportunities for flocking there. Since I probably will not jump anything but my suit for the next 2 months, I will suck at every other kind of jumping by then (not that I'm great now). Will my GTI be sufficient for all the flock jumps? Do they ever make fast flocks that require S3's? I'm pretty sure the GTI is a great flocking suit, just trying to make extra sure I'll be able to flock in Eloy if I go. :) I might order and S3 soon regardless, but doubt I would have it by then.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of the flocks that I was on at Rantoul were in the 85 mph range. You would be flying the GTI at less than its potential. Kris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The111 1 #3 October 6, 2004 Yeh, that's what I figured... I was a bit more worried about forward speed (I can almost match S3 fall rates anyway), but I guess that's not a big concern...www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flocking is about everyone in a suit not what model of suit. You are only as fast as your slowest Bird so don't sweat it.

174fps 1 #5 October 8, 2004 Last lear at the Eloy Holiday boogie, a certain BMI had me as base on a 10way flock on my third birdman jump, in a classic II, most everyone was in, later BillVon lead a 15way flock everyone was in. The 15 way was from the newer Skyvan which had no benches, all that nylon on a slippery floor!!!!. Have Fun Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManBird 0 #6 October 8, 2004 I remember that jump. I was two slots to your left. 114s 10-way on your third flight and great forward speed! You were in that red and yellow Classic, right? That was a really fun jump. Both jumps that you mentioned are in the "Wingsuits at Eloy" video: http://www.deepart.org/?id=115"¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
