The D licence suggests he is someone who just doesnt like filling in profiles with jump numbers. Few countries give those away with a box of cornflakes... So Id venture a guess he has quite a few more..(or at least hope so) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Inflation on the wings has 2 main goals Take some pressure of the arms (force needed to hold wings open) Provide the wing with a better shaped aerofoil The slighly lighter force needed to pull on the wing aids in stability to a small degree. The prodigy was upgraded to the prodigy2 with inflatable wings in part for that reason. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Good flying on your behalf Gerard..I deliberately followed you on your approach that jump. If anyone wants a HD/DVD copy of the video, let me know and Ill shoot you an URL for download . JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Im not spreading wrong words. After getting up, a handle was caught in the hole for the MLW on the back. I dont see why this would be limited to getting up from the packing mat, and not occur in the plane as well. There wasnt a single word 'wrong' in what I said, and similar to safety notices on the webpage for other wingsuit models/manufacturers, it wouldnt hurt here either. Not mentioning it (IMHO) is a worse offense than risking the usual 'you're against brand XXX' when a potential safety issue is noted... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Or loose one of the 5 GoPros that are attached to every limb and appendage.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Do hope the hackey on the pilotchute doest get hooked on/inside the suit as it did at Zflock with the Apache you flew there. It was worrying seeing how tight/stuck that was. That and the potential for fabric on top of the 3 ring circus, limiting its function, would be a no for practical use for me. Combined with the several cases of unstable flying and a pull on the backs/spinning in France, this looks like a very complex setup just to loose the drag of a chest strap... YMMV JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

I prefer topmount, as sidemounting creates a 'bad side' in terms of the fov the camera has on the opposing side during wingsuit, atmo and/or trackingdives. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Its a nice video, but a shame the effects arent used in a better way. The warped trees and moving grass take me out of the video quite a bit (though granted, for me thats part work/annoyance). I used the same program/plugin to generate the slowmotion shots (100 fps up to a few 200 fps) from 25 fps shots in this video on www.vimeo.com/10091309. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Judging the look its Twixtor, and the motion vectors having difficulty predicting/tracking the movement of objects through the scene. Causing some smearing and warping of the image. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Sweet! Looking nice in baby blue! Yours or a friend? Hope you also get to fly both suits. The difference in ballance compared to the Stealth(1) and improved inflation and slightly different cut of the legwing make the two behave and fly quite different. Choosing between the two, Id favour the Ghost3 (even though I only have a handfull of jumps in it, compared to 80 or so in the orginal Stealth). Backflying is the biggest difference between the two. With the Ghost3 being vastly superiour in that aspect (I heard people have been fighting to get DSE out of his Ghost3 and back onto his belly, from the day he got the suit) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Actually they are not... Ive been doing these little trailer/teasers already from 2003/2004 for (wingsuit) boogie videos. Its a nice, quick way to already get some footage out while working on 'the big thing'. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Did I miss seeing that one? Is that online on the tubes somewhere? And about 50% done with the edit of my full F&D video. You'll like it Mr Butters....you're featured so much Im close to asking you if I should pay royalties for use of your image JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

There is a reason I label videos 'the need 4 speed' JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

I used to make a joke out of it as well, but sadly the joke lost its shine a bit when somebodies student really did fall out of the harness.... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

It was do-able, but as always..more forward speed helps.. Brian and I managed, but it was hard work and took a lot of (back)de-arched flying with little legwing. Andreea, Spot and I may be organising more backflying mayhem later this season at a dedicated event...more on that later JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Im working hard on finishing up the full video as well, but here is a quick taste of what Im working on! Check it out on Vimeo Thank you all for the great times, I cant wait to show you the full version. Got so many nice shots! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Gabor, people have been caught without legstraps with the rig hardware pressed tight onto the hips by the suit. Shrugging and putting tension on the legstrap, and visually checking (and never closing zips unless straps are done) are all good habits to use and spread! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Last weekend of May, Macca and I will be doing LO and coaching at Nethers (UK). We'll bring plenty of models to try and fly. Phantom/Shadow or maybe a ghost would be my best guess/recomendation. If you're up for dropping by, we'll gladly advise you on any model based on your prefered flying style, build and experience. Macca lives close by sibson and can also hook you up with a demo and advice on any of the coming weekends JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

I think a month or two/three more wil have more V4s out there, with more data available. In general, forward speed seems to have stayed roughly the same for the V1>V4 only glide has improved quite a bit. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

The issue was 2 dealers (one of who not a real dealer) in between the customer and PF, causing long lines, and slow communication. Hopefully all sorted now. For those buying a wingsuit, all PF dealers are listed on the website and if no dealer or rep is nearby, a direct order is always quicker! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
