tick tock top gun ...... out with it ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

thats exactly it - i sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt ... i need to pee - dude whats wrong with you! ok gonna try that back soon... ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

everyone that flies the SM1 - question! barrel rolls ... with the lack of tailwing shutting down i find them much harder...everything else is the same or easier but barrel rolls are getting me down (no pun) - any advice for this suit specifically? lata ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

I say you stole that line somewhere..! cant say cuz ... ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

yeah tony lets get something going ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

if you low in sm1 and mid dive - go on your bback and fly it up - enough range... when at end of dive i usually put my nose down and dive down and pick up forward speed and turn before punching out. with great power comes great ..... ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

all i wanted to know tx ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

full flight - ie my im still traveling faster forward than toward the ground and not shutting down my wings (relates to question) once i have picthed ... ... ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

yep - gonna rock ! its loads of fun and you will be suprises (as with all contests) how much you learn once oyou have to compete under pressure ! ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

questions on full flight pitching - what is the correct procedure ? is it fly normal pace, quick hard throw and and go back to normal flight ? or do you keep you arms in front of you ie wings closed and do you bring your chest up and go head high once deployment starts or do you stay level ie heading on the horizon? does anyone do this that flies camera ? and do you pack a slower opening or just normal? ciao. ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

we can have an africa vs euro vs usa comp ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

Dude..if you really need 10 minutes to sew up two wings on a 'classic' style suit, I suggest you get some thumbs and fingers attached to your hands? 3 or so minutes is all it takes...granted the zipper system saves time..but 10 minutes? ok ok not ten make it 5 - im lazy what can i say ! ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

there is a competition at the end of the month in south africa at a nationals warm up weekend. we are going to do the same format pretty much - hee haa ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

yeez bro - looks like you gonna hit the tail of the plane ! thats aaawsome! really cool

im going to have call that one a near impossible.... i tell you why - firstly i have alot of jumps on this suit - all different jumps - diving out last and going head down for 30 sec down to formations and then flaring flat out to stop - twitchy dirty flying with students on first jumps - acro jumps back flying spinning back flying carves over to belly flying - i have pushed the wings quite hard and its never even budged - two reasons why i cant believe that happening - firstly the pressure is simply too low to break the thick velro sandwich, the pressure doesnt apply to it at its weakest point either AND when i started jumping the suit i was thinking about the cut away quite a bit and before every jump i loosened the velcro on the arm cut away and softly placed the sandwich back but only half way ie it was only half connected and still i doing a huge range of jumps and it never moved - how you blew that cut away seems a freak of circumstance but then again stranger things have happend i mean people have survived falling 100m without anything higher maintance how? i cant see anything less effort than velcro - high maintance is sowing your wings on everytime you change suits or rigs - it takes 10 min to do for both wings. love to know what you did when you "blew" the wing ... ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

jeepers thats a classy response ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

yeah - BUT big diff the ratio of arm wing to tailwing is substantailly skewed towards more arm on that GS1 (looks like a gs1) - which means its floats without forward speed or without is the wrong word - its floats with less forward speed RELATIVE to the bigger tailwinged suit. with more forward speed there are obviously other advantages like more lift. SO in effect you now have more or the same lift with more forward speed. this is purely my personal perception after jumping both those suits. ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

no - i live in south africa remember van der merwe - damn thats a nice colour scheme though ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

send me a picture of what you look like in flight - i would like to see how you fly to make the arm wing flutter. ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~
