  1. 1. Gustavo 2. David Haygarth 3. Alejandro Lopez 4. Jarno Cordia 5. Tomas Sevén 6. Benny 7. Mette 8. Costyn van Dongen 9. Karin de Fraiture 10. Thoomas (jay) 11. Tristan - Johan Wild-thing (maybe) - Henny Wiggers (maybe) Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
  2. Very nice! Did you use some special filter to make the ground green? Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
  3. Hey Marco, I was in Locarno last weekend. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. If I can get a repack this week I will be in Aosta this Saturday, you can join me there!!! As far as I know the SM1 has two zippers now. Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
  4. Common, what's the point of a wingsuit when you can't race it and compare them and stuff. And Costyn, to answer your questions: It takes an ex muslim to explain the problems in the islam as it takes an ex christian to explain the faults in christianity. And the cow with nipples is symbolic for his internal struggles... Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
  5. You are not getting away that easily. 1st of March a race thought the Aosta valley, in or out? Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
  6. Why would I jump a copy when I can jump the original? Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
  7. What about joining Herwig and me in Locarno this weekend and putting it to the test against me in a SM1? Herwig will be the impartial judge! Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
  8. I'm affraid there is not really a dropzone at Megéve. The Annemasse dropzone jumps there only two times a year. It is definatelly the most exiting place I've jumped so far. I will let you know next time
  9. I don't really understand what you mean with tend your legs. What am I doing wrong in the picture? If you mean breaking with the back of my leg wing that's fine, just don't break by pushing your knees up. Pointing your toes to get rid of the flapping while flocking is really hard and who cares really? The problem is that I also had flapping while maxing out (while pointing my toes). But you don't have to defend it, I'm sure it's possible to fly it without flapping as Zun did here: http://tristan.tw/videos/Tristan&Tony_Sep2007.wmv Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
  10. Stop arguing with me, we agree... Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
  11. I disagree with you Jarno, I think you do agree with me. I don't know about the 15 seconds, it's probably more. My point is if you get 20mpg while not flaring or just after exit you can do it for the entire flight as long as you don't get tired. Thats all I'm saying. Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
  12. Sustained for 15 seconds is still sustained. It's not flaring out and can potentially be held the entire flight. I'm just eager to try it myself
  13. I think the pro-fly should not only have different lengths but also different arm lengths. Not so much a problem with the s-fly expert but the grippers on the pro-fly are often not at the right position because people have different arm lengths. Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
  14. How dare you say such blasphemy Actually, I also fly the SM1 similar to the s-fly suits with the inside of the arm facing forward so I have a fully stretched arm and maximum wing surface. And not bending the knees just the hips. and breaking with the chest not pushing the knees forward. I think it's just my specific body dimensions, some suits just don't work with some bodies. Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
  15. The pro-fly is actually not that bad. I don't have the problems some people mention. I think it's not that tiring and easy to flock with. The only problem is the flapping legwing I can't get rid of, even when maxing out at seperation. Patrick says it's because I don't point my toes but I'm pretty sure I do. Compared to the SM1 it's smaller so less performance (as simple as that). The SM1 in the picture is a test version with a narrower legwing, the normal SM1 has a wider leg. Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
  16. Yes Jarno, I wil fly whatever suit is the best no matter what brand. And at the moment that is the SM1... When I'm in Holland for christmas maybe we can race each other or you can try it and find it out yourself. Or are you affraid you might like it and won't be satisfied with your toy suit anymore? Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
  17. Look at those beautiful suits eccentuating our masculine features, and still you ordered a Blade??? I guess you need a suit with less performance since you couldn't get down to the formation in the SM1 Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
  18. Hey Hans, can you bring some stroopwafels?! also some more for me to bring back, my stock has depleted... Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
  19. sure, but there are some slight physical differences between the two of you Some french guy is trying it now. You have succeeded with your design if you can get a french guy to change his s-fly suit for one of yours. That is the biggest test of all
