Maybe you should set a maximum size..say anything under 4 inches is allowed on the girl flocks. Would open it up to some of the guys as well.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

He gets that a lot... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

At 60 mph you'd expect boobs to flap, wrinkle and deform...but man...those boys withstood the relative wind and Mike's (somehow) firm hand graps strong, firm and proud....amazing actually... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Elias is doubting about mayyybe also coming. Guys...girls...everyone in favour of dragging Elias to his first big, big wingsuit boogie...say I! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Yes..be it on a model who is few inches to short. But he flew it amazingly well.. Because the orders places so far are pre-orders. And the suit isnt officially out yet.... But you should be getting mail from Robert soon... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Costyn and I both have flown the ghost3 and noticed a huge difference in flying. Especialy on the back, the suit is amazing. I could keep up with a friend of mine who was backflying the ghost3. On exit he hit 100% and the ghost2, shadow, sfly verso and phantom couldnt match his fwd speed and float untill he took it back to 75%. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Trying REALLL hard to not comment on this one.... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

If you eat more than 3, you get very sick... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

I know I also spent a week trying to figure out what it was, including trying to eat one. I think Robert got a batch of 500 of those things with an order of some shirts, and though they look nice....damn they smell..bubblegum to the point of puking.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

I expect the have the program back online end of tomorrow, so if you havent taken out pencils yet, its only one more night of sleeping away... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Bridle knots in my view seem to be more related to the type of handle and its weight (usually heavy hackeyball, with single attachment point) than the bridle length or throwing technique. Every single deployment has some weird moments regarding what the pilotchute and bridle do. The moment it has something to catch/grab while it does so...thats where things gets scary....

Aside from 'drawings' being photos..couldnt agree more... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Several ones.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

You'll than be surprised to find that Birdman never payd a single bill for me...I started shifting toward PF products more and more when I was with BM, and choose to leave the company and team. And started flying PF without any payd bills being part of that. The discount I get on sales (which i could use to 'pay bills') I give away to those who buy through me, and my 'bills' are 100% payd by

Nobody knocked the opposition....a thread of PF products debuted turned into negative BS about copying by people prefering another brand/product. And when people spout a lot of uninformed personal prefernces as incorrect facts/statements...yes..I respond. Design influences are abundant. Looking at things very crude would be saying 'all anyone ever did was upscale patricks degayardons design' When it comes to these type of 'carpet' suits....The Stealth WoM, and several newer prototype suits (which Ill gladly show you in person, and have done so with several people) show similar design characteristics, and those date back to 2008 and 2009 already. No carbon dating needed. Just showing pictures of the boogies and events the first time the suit flew is enough to date it back without any doubt. Again....draw a human figure and draw some big wings around it. See how many variatios you can come up with. Many people judge these new suits simply by their outline. Having seen both suits up close, and flown them both (which I think few people giving their oppinions here can actually say) you'll see that both are actually quite different suits, with different design ideas at their origin.

Now who would show you such a thing? Even funnier when you think thats something from 1,5 years ago...pre-dating the actual copy its baby brother is now accused of being haha JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Because thats what the best 4 pilots flew those years.... And actually Lutz pretty much handed everyone their ass when the first incarnation of the Stealth2 (Stealth WoM) flew there. Last year Harry Kloska was the first person to fly the Venom prototype at the competition in Gransee, and immidiately set the 4th highest score for time and 5th for distance ever in the whole comp circuit. And he isnt that skinny a guy even. Every single one of these results is more related to pilot skill than anything else. And depending on the suits they choose to fly, these results can stay like this or severly mix up. I have no doubt any of the flyers wouldnt score in the same top 3 if they switched to any other suit. There is a lot to be said for these competitions, but its mostly a comparison of athletes. And depending on the suits they show up with, the results show a certain suit as the best choice. Gransee and Marl both pretty much share the same flyers every year. Its logical the podium is 'always the same' Look at the results from the Hungarian competition from the last years. 2010> 1st Stealth2, 2nd V3, 3rd Xbird 2009> 1st Stealth2, 2nd V3, 3rd Birdman S8 2008> 1st SM1, 2nd Stealth1, 3rd Blade 2007> 1st BM S3S, 2nd BM S3S, 3rd Blade Paints a whole other picture. And with Intrudair also becoming a bigger and bigger player with suits that seem to mirror many design aspects from all kinds of brands....no doubt we'll see those results mixed up even more in the future. There are a lot of conclussions to be drawn from competitions, but the ones mentioned above for sure arent the correct ones... It always ends with certain people only showing their 'copy!copy!' posts with negativity attitude towards one party.... Just enjoy the fact that several people design wonderfull suits to fly. And look at them up close to see what they are actually capable of and made from... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Which one and which rounds...? I only see the same top 3 to 5 of skilled flyers, some of those scoring top 3 regardlessof brand, depending on what year you check. There's a lot you can see in those competition results, but pilot skill and build seem the biggest aspect next to A LOT of training. Of course not counting the windy top distance results that most people refer to. I also see Phantoms outscoring some of the top flyers in HUGE suits on top flyers in some years. Fly both suits, and than judge how similar they are...that as informed an oppinion as you can get... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

V5=V4....darned fancy touchscreen type thingies JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Aside from both cathering to the same market (slow/floaty) up close the different suits show very different design solutions and construction methods. Its easy to jump on the bandwagon without looking at what was designed by whom first. Everyone deserves his compliments, but make sure you credit everyone correctly for their input and design. Tristan and I made a cardboard wingsuit design 5 years ago which is scary close to the stealth2/xbird/venom...and that one wasnt even seen with the competitors suit in hand checking at how its made...did tristan and I invent all the above suits? Only so many ways one can draw an outline around a human body.. A lot going on in WS land..but seeing the process up close, definately no copying. Slow floaty flying aside....Give that V5 a try....thats a whole other beast...;) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Overlay a Stealth2 and V3....take the inlets designed by Robi and see what you get? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

The competition in Hungary is distance only (not time). http://wingsuitboogie.hu/en should be updated soon with more information on the coming year! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Hungary is distance... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

If I sell a Stealth to a newby with 201 jumps or a Prodigy, both are not a violation of any BSR. But the first one is clearly a whole other issue (related to the experience level each model/type demands, which said flyer didnt have). Be it his choice or the dealer who sold it to him...not BSRs...just not smart.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
