bigbearfng 18 #2 October 13, 2006 Jeff was at Perris till today, now in Elsinore and then will be back at Perris. And yup, after demo I went and ordered one. It's only money...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpnaked69 0 #3 October 13, 2006 Which of the tonysuits did you fly? They have nine different suits available to demo. I didnt get to fly one but a buddy of mine did. How did the suit compare to your other wingsuit experiences? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #4 October 13, 2006 Jeff Nebelkof has been driving all over the state since the Chicks Rock boogie with a bunch of demos. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigbearfng 18 #5 October 13, 2006 I'm a complete newb at wingsuits, and Jeff only had 2 with him for newbs. So I'm afraid I can't compare to other suits. I tried the eagle first. The suits were a tad on the small side for me so keep that in mind. The eagle seemed to get a high speed shudder going at times. I've read reviews that noted the same thing. I then tried the aerobat and loved it! Within a few jumps I had fall rate down to 60mph. This is a great opportunity for newbs! Jeff will give you first jump instruction and one on one video coaching for the cost of his jump ticket. If you can meet up with him its well worth it. The suits go on completely, then you put on your rig; so all handles are out in the open. The only possible problem for some is that you must be able to unthread your leg straps. On some rigs the sewn fold back is to thick to unthread. I called Tonysuits the day after Jeff faxed my order in-they'd already cut out my suit and it'll be shipped within a week of the order being faxed. Oh yea-25% off promotional price too..... Yup, I'm hooked! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airdave98 0 #6 October 15, 2006 Jeff is in Lodi this weekend. I got to see one of his new prototypes... the Mach 1. It has bigger wings than the Nebula and Jeff was able to get a 19 mph vertical speed and a 140 mph horizontal speed out of the thing! I immediately switched my order from the Nebula to the Mach 1.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #7 October 15, 2006 The poor boy is going to be chained to the sewing machine when he gets back home! Which suit was Jeff primarilly flying? The black one with the white binding tape and the very, very-wide legwing? Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a 7 to 1 glide ratio . You probably are stating two distinct facts. The slowest vertical speed and the fastest horizontal speed. That is definately possible. Combine the two and the result is a number that is considered unrealistic. Kris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a 7 to 1 glide ratio . You probably are stating two distinct facts. Think so too...it doesnt state if he's talking about 1 jump, or two seperate jump, and if its an avg. over a whole jump or just a moment/peak-reading. 19 mph vertical...if its sustained you're talking about....I'd love to meet the flyer (Jack Skelington might be his name) I've seen 21 mph vertical for a few seconds flairing out after a good dive..but 19 mph sustained?? I think the forward speed is doable for a lot of people in high-end suits, but the vertical speed (seeing Loic, James, Tristan etc. get around to 39/40 mph in the previous contests in russia and germany) is quite impossible to imagine....that 5 minutes of freefall from 12k? But maybe he was wearing them hiking boots I've been hearing lots of good things aboutJC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #10 October 15, 2006 Well, I was so confident that responses like these were coming that I nearly put an additional paragraph in my last post saying something about it. The bottom line is that Jeff easily outfloats everyone I know in his big suit and he has tremendous forward speed when he kicks it in. It's a very large suit with a very, very wide legwing. I don't know what his actual figures might be, nor how he records them other than a Neptune. I don't know if he uses GPS since I pay no attention to that stuff unless people on the plane are babbling about it. No, I don't think he averages that vertical speed, but I know it's damn low. Maybe we will rig him up with a bunch of redundant instruments when he gets back home and post some data to appease you techies. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airdave98 0 #11 October 16, 2006 Okay, maybe I misunderstood him about the sustained 19 mph. After all, when he was talking, I was staring at his suit and drooling on myself. He did say something about having the same glide path as an open tandem. Anyway, I found it all very cool.
