  1. A little bit earlier, but Top Gun are holding a wingsuit weekend at Hib 3/4 May...? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  2. You have to be careful driving at 88mph you know... Great Scott! You never know what might happen! Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  3. Don't be too hard on yourself, you're wearing sunglasses standing on the ground... I would say that was absolute definition of a 'Campos'! Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  4. I'm not sure i agree with that. If i'm leaving an aircraft in an emergency situation, at an altitude that dictates I use my reserve as my primary canopy... I'm leaving with my hand firmly on my reserve handle ready to go! Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  5. To reply to myself... Different suits are flown in different ways to get the maximum performance. So to achieve the optimum flight in say suit X, you will fly your body in a different position to suit Y. Crap, I just used X and Y in a post... Does that mean I'm like Yuri?!

  6. The most basic explanation of the term 'sweet spot' is the pilot position used to get the best performance from a given suit. You may find jumpers mention different types of sweet spot - this simply refers to the different optimum positions used for the different types of flying. Hope that helps, and welcome to the flock
  7. Maybe you could get sponsorship from skoda or something? Genius! Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies

  10. Or this solution, seen on the right of this image? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  11. Wonderful may be a bit over the top, I'd say it was more a 'here hold my beer' type thing. You should have a gone a bit further up the airfield to where the big soft sand is, you could have gone a little higher up without injury... *waits for Jarno to post the kind of images I can't get away with at work* Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies

  19. This is such old news guys... Top Gun member Bo Weinberg landed his wingsuit without the use of a parachute nearly a year ago! He went with the 'soft snow' method and survived without so much as a scratch. Is he a hero? I think so...

  20. Hi all, firstly thanks for all the AMAZING jumps at Z flock this year, I had a fantastic time and got to jump with some really cool people. Secondly, did anyone manage to get photos / more details on the new Warp 8 suit? I'm particularly intersted in the detail of how it completely intergrated, and was part of, steves rig. As he showed up just as I was leaving I didn't get a good look at it, but he was claiming a gr of 4:1?
