There, I corrected it for you Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies

That was the common thought several years ago. Mostly perpetuated by instructors that feared some fresh nugget would out fly them in a suit of equal potential but with way fewer jumps experience. I really don't care if people outfly me, as long they do it in a safe manner and don't nearly kill me in the sky! I personally don't think buying a big suit is a great idea if you're not going to jump it regularly, or are only ever going to do solos. Not just because of the implications of being uncurrent with bigger wings, but more just because of the lost enjoyment. Mid range suits exist for a reason Very much, totally agree!

Firstly, please note, i'm not trying to be the 'no' police here... Secondly... I think you should also consider some of the mid range suits. This is not directed at you, but i've seen way to often people go straight for the big 'all singing, all dancing' suit at the top of the power range because they feel they have to. Generally at the

I have lots of battery powered sets like that, and they're all as bright, if not brighter. I think it's down to the brand that you have - damn i sounds geeky on neon products... Anyhow, looking at the sky would suggest a slightly longer exposure too, which would have helped a bit.

I'm sorry... all i'm hearing is babble... WHERE ARE THE PICTURES Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies

I mean this with no dis-respect to you big man, but do you think a lazier throw contributed to this? The PC looks like it barely made it out of the pouch. Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies

That white suit looks exactly like an S1... Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies

Robbi?! What happend to Patrick? Or maybe Leo, seeing as he survived a couple of jumps... Still, good piece. You look very dapper James, but you could have tried to slip in a 'Campos' at some point Anyone have any more detail on this record attempt by the Australians? Suprised we haven't seen more about it.

Nice looking suit! Although, again, where are your confused co-workers in the background? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies

I've lost track of the numbers of jumps i've made from G92's now, as mentioned above, you have a couple of options. If you're only on a two / three way, and the DZ is ok with it, you can sit on the floor by the tail, giving you lots of room to sit with your leg wing done up. If you sit up by the pilot, do your leg wing up before you get on the aircraft, then sit with both legs to one side of the bench. It'll probably piss off the FFers a bit as you take up a tiny bit more room than normal, but that's their issue to deal with. I leave my arm wings undone until 10K or so, then kindly ask the people in front if they can shuffle forward a bit to give the wingsuiters room to 'zip up'. I would say it was 'cosy' up near the pilot, but not really a pain. Also, i'm guessing when you say 'ejection' handles, you mean your cutaway / reserve handles? I've never found these to be at any more risk than any other jumper on the load? When on aircraft where you have to sit with people between your legs, i tend to keep my legwing off until 10K or so, then stand up and 'zip up'. After that, i stand or crouch depending on how full the load is, then prepare for exit.

I think the answer to this question varies wildly depending on the type of aircraft being used, and the number of wingsuiters on a load. Eg, if my home DZ has a Turbo Let (for you americans, think of an otter that's eaten too much cake), the wingsuiters will sit up near the pilot, in the correct exit order. If we're using a Dornier G92, then it may be that the wingsuiters (if in a small group) will sit on the floor by the tail as there is more room than there is trying to be 'side slung' on the benches. Can you ellaborate on what you mean by jumpers having to watch their wings if they sit up near the pilot? Is this just because of the type of aircraft you're using? What is it? Do you mean if they use the co-pilots seat? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies

I thought it was because of our tight 'buns'? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies

VERY interesting stuff... Good to see that they're no against the idea Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies

This weekend y'all! Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies

Members of the BIRDMAN Factory team - Top Gun - will be at Target Skysports in the UK on 3/4 May (the bank holiday weekend) providing first flight courses, coaching and load organising - for free! (all you have to pay is slots) Whether you're new to wingsuiting, or a flying pro, come and say hello and we'll get you in the air. Don't worry if you don't have a suit, we'll have a fine selection with us! The whole weekend is focussed around having more fun in the air, so in addtition to wingsuiting, the DZ will be organising tube jumps, hoop jumps, baton passing and 'a day at the races'. Wingsuiting in the UK requires a minimum of 500 skydives, or 250 in the last 18 months - at CCI's discretion. Even if you don't fly a wingsuit, come and say hello

why do you always seem to have your top off?! Is there something you would like to share with the group? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
