hehe told you so!

when i did max it out it felt really light - actually less than my s3s which i havent really made sense of. the wings are so big and solid it felt like i was hanging from them and not the other way around. im going on one jump here but i did try and take in as much as possible while flying. ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

ok im going to try and stay objective but ill probably struggle. As if cursed the weather sucked all weekend and i only got to jump the suit once. its definately a power house, the thing really wants to fly. i was surprised at the range and how quickly it shoots forward as soon as you give a bit of legs (i was flying relative to a s3). i messed around on the jump doing 2 practise touches, floating up, dropping down - kind of playing around with the range - from 6k - 4k i tried to push a little harder and i managed a 47mph decent rate, covering what felt like nice distance. finding the hacky does take a bit of concentration but its not as bad as it feels when you try on the ground. like any new suit, you just have to get comfortable with it. from my experience in flying big suits i truly believe that this is the next step. i predict that the other companies will soon come out with bigger suits. In saying that i dont really think anyone with less than a 100 or 150 big suit ie V1/V2/S3s or S6 should consider this wing suit. its a lot of power. looks like we will have to wait another week for some better stats - sorry - damn global warming - will post some more in air shots soon. ps. no ribs or maylar - just double thick cells - which are great, you can once again stuff your wing suit in a parabag without having to cringe when someone throws a bag or rig on top of urs ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

"Choose your weapon! We gonna race out the balloon from 4500!" bring it old dawg you know what the deal is ... i pay until i win ~ i might have to go s3s though to start - my first M1 jump out of a balloon might be a bit sketchy and no - there is no dancing in the bathroom i present the spread eagle ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~
-
im hoping there arent cameras in the bathrooms .... mmm... better check that out .... could get myself in a spot of trouble if there is one day ill drop a line after the weekend - i hav already started the NON rain dance proceedings ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

ill be honest - i got it and sneaked off the mens room to fit it (i work on a equities trading floor - bit tough getting somneone to stop talking or stand still long enough to get me a spread eagle pic ) was too excited. Quality looks really really good. Right up there with the BM and PF suits I have owned and seen. I'm really stoked. This thing is FAKING HUGE! i can't wait to go play sat ! I cant say the arms are bigger than legs or vice versa the total effect is just HUGE. I really think its going to suit ( no pun) my style of flying too - I like going super fast forward in small ways or alone but dont mind flying dirty as fuk when flocking bigger ways. Im pretty sure this suit is going to change the pecking order a bit - suppose time will tell - ill drop a post after the weekend of flying it. my first two jumps on sat morning at 5am are out of a balloon from 5k ... mmm wonder if i should take out for that ... ummmmmm....... YES!!!!!!!!!! hey tony - cheers and tx for the service - much appreciated ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

Sorry, it just happens to be my current status not something I'm wishing on you. Two weather days followed by to work days before I get to try it out. dont worry - im feeling the same, weather has SUCKED for 2 weekend in a row now - at the risk of sounding like a junky 0 im takin strain! hopefully it clears up by the time my M1 arrives ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~
-
How about after it arrives but so does a weather system that prevents you from trying it....oye! hey dont jinx it! ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~
-
same here, have heard some pretty brave claims being made .... - buying it purely for selfish reasons ... i have a s3s to flock in -- but then again after a few jumps im sure ill just learn to fly it dirty like after the s3s and v1 came out and everyone else had gti's and classics .... just spoke to tony he got my order on fri (rush) and just started cutting my suit - he says he will ship on or before fri ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~

Yes Tonto!! - the rats like orange phantoms!!!! i just came back from a boogie on the island of bazaruto off mozambique, did a jump with a SA guy in an orange phantom, he went a bit deep on the spot and the cross wind caught him out forcing him to land in some dunes on the middle of the island. it was quite late and he decided to stash his gear under a bush and start hiking back to beach where we were waiting (couldnt take a vehicle onto the dunes) . the next morning at 5am he went out to get his gear and RATS have started eating his suit!!!! they ate about 10cm of his zipper and started chowing his rubber alti too!!!!! africa is a cool place ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~
