  1. Is there any GPS data on the suit already? Less curious about flocking together, and more interested in what the suit can do when flown to the max... (Or does the 7.0 glideratio still stand?) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  2. If you check www.flylikebrick.com (flight manuals) about backflying, thats all done in a suit without dual/back inflation.. http://www.flylikebrick.com/downloadmovie.php/flb_flightmanual_04.wmv I think most people in here are backflying S3/S6/V1/V2s etc (without the double vents) on the back...

  3. I was mostly talking about during normal flight...(about the use of grippers, when not using them for max flight) I think the video I posted the link to is the only one where I went for the grippers (as a video-whorish thing, the lead-flyer/rabbit was jumping a camera facing backward...) Ive usualy unzipped my arms before my slider is down.. Still nothing like the unnamed Dutch flyer that somehow manages to unzip before pulling..but thats a whole different story JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  4. Wish I could join in, but running out of cash and free days by then.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  5. I think the bigger grippers on the V1/V2 are a bit easyer to grab then the shorter S3/S6 grippers. But those are also pretty much in your hand when you are flying in a max position with your arms. If you look at this video at 5:27 you can see me grab the grippers again after pulling (just grab them at the moment my canopy 'sits me up') But my arm position during that jump (elbows pointing up, more falling then flying) ment I had to reach back a bit to grab them...but even then its do-able to grab them again after pulling. Pretty useless though, concidering my whole body-postion there and the speed at which the jump was going down..holding grippers doesnt make a lot of sense (max-performance wise..but I tend to use them like flaps/breaks on an airplane-wing..) But the direction of wingsuiting... Seen the new Pressurized wingsuit past weekend....at the rate new suits and manifacturers are coming out it just means more and more stuff for us to bitch about in here.. Dont know if thats the future everybody means though...? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  6. We had a blast! Good flying from all the birds there.. Flying your wingsuit and looking UP at mountains while flying is just amazing. We didnt have many photo-cameras around, but TONS of video. I'll start editing tomorrow. Should have a video online after the weekend..! Hope Guilio also sends his footage to me, so I can include it in the edit... Here are a few photos taken by Frits Jensen (flyers: Alejandro, Tristan & myself) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  7. I think what Lee means is that in 'normal' fastfall, you dont have a lot of wind to work with (to steer your body) straight from exit.. In a wingsuit, the relative wind that hits you combined with your bigger controll surfaces means you have (more) immidiate controll... and more ways of f8king up too.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  8. Just use a towel and you'll be fine... Sick. Very sick. Then maybe use a condom too... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  9. Just use a towel and you'll be fine... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  10. Our plans for the summer (though still far away) 31 june - 1 july Schaffen (Belgium) - FlyLikeBrick pre-AN-72 weekend! We will be joined by South Africans, an ugly as f*k Brit, Belgians, Germans and (ofcource) lots of Dutchies! 2 july Amsterdam, Pimps, Hookers and windmills! Dont forget to stock up on your stroopwafels! 3 - 8 july AN-72 Boogie 2007 JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  11. Thats not what the stripper told me...felt pretty hard according to her... (hey...did I just cross that magical 'theres some things you can, and somethings you cant say' line?) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  12. Zell Am See...here we come!! Denmark Hanne Frits Brian Joergen Martin Holland Jarno Hans Tristan Alejandro Karin Roel France Patrick Austria Herwig Italy Giulio JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  13. Not messing with your bra while writing ek spreek nederlands..dat lijk baie veel op afrikaans..I score better at reading it then writing it though JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  14. Just pray they dont have male strippers next year...you'd be in some serious shit then, and not even 6 tequilla slammers would be enough to wash away the memory JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  15. Verry nice! I like! ek vind die fotos baie leuk! Cant wait to have you guys drop by, and do some flying here! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  16. Sweet pictures...awesome colours... Love those (taken while)backflying exit photos... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  17. Sorry man...but FOOOOOK if that wasnt the hardest Ive laughed in a long time Next year...you, a chair, a load of slammers and 2 strippers....date? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  18. anyhow. check the other (non-sexual) definition of that word and it will mean something else.
  19. haha..you wish... Actually the only molesting that was done, was done BY the strippers, to some poor (I think it was swedish?) guy.. Seeing a drunk guy break a chair, crawling around the stage, with two strippers trying to undress him, while smearing strawberry-jam underneath his underwear (onto places where the sun dont shine) is NOT a pretty sight JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  20. Hey...what do you think we are....a bunch of Americans? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
