    Ask Scott, or some other people in the know...the suit (with things changing one step at a time) has been an ongoing project for the past 2 years...theres pictures of the blade being tested from over 1,5 years ago. And the reason it wasnt introduced earlyer, is because of the extensive testing.. just because you dont see everything, doesnt mean its not hapening... The whole team testing, and giving feedback on things that worked, and things that didnt work (resulting in a few changes, taking things from previous test models of the suit) was only the last step in the flying that has already been done in the suit over the past few years...

    So bring on the crap, as I actually did 5 videos this week I did three more, but only people going to the AGM in the UK today are seeing the other 2 (wingsuit ones) and I made a video of some of the freefly jumps I did with my girlfriend in Zell Am See... I dream of timelines, clip-bins, cuts and fades at the moment...I need to go into editing-rehab.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    Heyhey, Just finished another few sleepless nights hugging my computercreen. There's lots of formations, slow canopy flyby's, openings, atmo and hot chick rodeos and (freefall) swoops.. You can watch it at bird-man.com or download it here Enjoy! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    With the big arm and legwing, and the airlocks in the legwing (really having to push the wing empty, if you want to deflate it) adding a little bit of extra care on opening...its not a suit for beginners... Its one of the most stable suits Ive flown, and way happy to exchange my S6 for this new toy! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    When the jump if going down at 70 mph or so, 'flaring' the suit can cause such a massive difference in altitude (if the rest keeps on falling at the same speed) but from being under canopy, and watching someone pull a 100 feet lower then me, it always looks like way way lower....eyes can tell you different things someone... Sure its actual 1000 ft of difference...or just thinking it looks like 1000 ft? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    This contest should have been held in Holland yesterday.. We could all stand outside, and the first one to take off in his wingsuit is clearly flying the suit with the most lift..(see attached photo, taken yesterday) 120 km/h winds all day with gusts up to 140...sweeet!

    Which is exactly what the guy in the teal V2 is doing momentarily (Airowpoint here on dz.com). He's getting it fixed, but I'm sure he'll chime in with the details later today. The guy with the red one (Hans aka Gadget) is selling his... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    Sirob...within two bodylengths of the CORRECT POSITION.. In your examples, many flyers are not where they are supposed to be... Everyone should be within two bodylengths of EVERY person they are supposed to be flying next to... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    http://www.sky-designs.be/ is a belgian brand. They make really nice Camera helmets with nice big box, that fits almost every (PC style) camera JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    I also think slotted formations will make cleaner exits and building of formations posisble. As poeple can now start flying for a slot straight from exit, instead of everyone diving for the base, and then zooming all over the place, trying to find a nice slot..

    Does it count as a wingsuit jump if its flown at less then a 2.3 glideratio? And more serious..I think this definition will mostly be important in showing people outside of the dicipline what we can do... Cant wait to see what 2007 has in store for us! ps. jailbreak? DUDE!! You Soooo need to start watching heroes...it totaly OWNS jailbreak! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    If you go to http://www.bird-man.com/, in the media/video section, there is a new video there from the Pink Skyvan weekend at Zell Am See. click here for a direct download link. The flying was a bit messy at times (some nice big funnels and bumps in this video) but we had great fun and everyone learnt a lot that weekend. Some fun experiments with video editing, watch fullscreen for the max experience) hope you enjoy it! Amd do join us in November this coming year. Flocking from the skyvan at one of the most beautifull dropzones in Europe! Maybe with a few days of skiing/snowboarding attached JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    60-ish speeds is what we where doing most jumps..just so everyone could easely make it back into their slot if they went low. Having more forward speed does make it easyer for 'slightly chubby' people (like me) to maintain the lift, and stay in the formations..instead of flying stalish the whole time, and dropping out of the sku.. And for the stacked formations, having more forward speed makes avoiding burbles less of an issue.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    There is going to be HUGE problem with als these new manufactures appearing on the market.. We're going to run out of cool names pretty soon..! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

    I dont think it would have to be a pre-determined slot (although it would make the dive-plan a lot cleaner and tighter in the way people approach slots) And one body length, could also be equal distances throughout the formation. It could be two body lengths, and on photo, it would still be perfect, as long as everybody flies this same distance...formationwise, it would still look incredible, and come across as a complete formation.. I cant wait for all the events of this coming year...! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
