Swiss...Belgian....whatever flies full speed.. Might prove to be a bit to much to backfly with with 3 V3's as a base...hehe JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

With proper wingloading....perhaps.. Regardless of branding, wingloading is way to often ignored in suit advice. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

You guys are so full of shit hehehe JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Sadly know this one all too well....luckely they dont count this as luggage during flying, or I would have to leave my rig at home with the weight I added over the last 2 months JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

With a bit of patience, demo's are always accesable...and way cheaper than buying a suit you end up disliking and wishing you bought another model.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

I dont think anyone sees this as a final product. But its quite clear it ment as a sales pitch for the project, and not as an audition for the competitors. In terms of auditions, those would definately fit the bill. But to generate commercial interest, this wouldnt be the most optimal choice in terms of editing, length etc. Which is a shame, as the material could definately be put together with a lot more flare (see the fake 'dropzone boys' trailer as an example, and give an honest answer which 'show' you'd be more likely to watch...even though neither is ment as a final product) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

In flying its quite similar to the Phantom. If you check this video of last years Z flock, or the wingsuit competition, you'll see mee flying it (orange suit...actually visable in most recent videos of ours). On belly and back, it suits 99% of the flocking and flying I do. Even when the speeds are higher, these 'small' suits have quite a large performance envelope. Its a joy to fly especially for aerobatics, where you're not 'fighting' the huge surface area of bigger suits to make clean barrelrolls/transitions and messing with long grippers on docks etc. Especially on the back, its an awesome suit. In flying, the body position (palms down, no grippers) makes for very clean flying, with big reactions hidden in the smallest of movements. Even for distance and performance, the suit has an awesome range. In terms of previous (commercially availlable) versions, there is only one Shadow, with the only difference be some small construction/material details in the latest one. But performance-wise, all the same. Im lucky that I get to fly a lot of different demo suits, but even with the whole PF range within arms reach I keep grabbing this suit from my gearbag. I am a rep. for PF, so take my oppinion with a grain of salt. But maybe look up DSE to demo one. Even though Id gladly say> get one...Im a firm advocate of always trying a suit before you buy it. We'll also be at Zhills this April with a load of demo suits.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Dropzone Boys Funny to see a mock/fake trailer edited by a couple of skydivers, that gives me more laughs, excitement and feelings of "Id watch this" than that "Sore" production thing. With the amount of material at their disposal, shouldnt be hard to edit it down to something shorter and more fun to watch....take a hint from Dropzone Boyz JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

I'd vote Phantom Contact Juan Mayer (FlyMelon) for South America/demo's.... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Production, quality, editing and content are far below industry, or even home video standards. Thats not a comment on the intent or people in the video. Just stating what any person who's been watching tv or even the poorest of boogie videos the last 10 years. Its sad to see a potentialy fun tv show idea, most likely get killed due to the poorest form of presentation/sales possible, and the nice people cooperating in good will/spirit get presented poorly in the process. One doesnt have to produce a tv show himself to note this. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

With all these options you're spending twice the money you'd be paying for a similar 'complete' Sony setup. Nice to have the option though for stuff like backviewing cameras during wingsuit flocks (flying nice) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

I dont know if you have the ability to export seperate txt files for each vallue, but otherwise you can also expoprt/reformat the resulting files via Exell and some simple formulas, and just use them as subtitle overlays in any editing package (1 line, scrolling subtitle). Though the export to a subtitle file directly from paralog should also work quite okay.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Only 45 or so more wingsuit jumps, and Ill be at 1000 total. Seeing its winter, and Im only doing weekends, chances are Ill be hitting this magical number at Flock & Dock. If I stick to freeflying for 100 jumps or so, ill also have my 2000th jump total on that same one (but no way im not wingsuit flying for 100 jumps) Who wants to join on my 1000th wingsuit jump!

My best so far (endurance) is slightly under 41 mph, for 5:18 (22.000 ft). From normal altitude (12k) my best is 32mph sustained. Both in Stealth2. Hoping to go past that with some of the new toys JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

The wide option is just an experimental tweak that was done for several suits, which seems to have a positive effect on performance. Hence looking at making this feature standard. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
-
Its kind of a double thing, as arm-strain is less, but at flights that are half to double your normal flight times, you get the added factor of fattigue that can seriously wear you down and turn an otherwise manly deployment into a whimpy toss of a politchute.. Both ways, these suits offer fun new performance levels, but should always be treated with respect for the extra factors they add to the safety, operation/flying. Experience is everything....the more you have it..the better.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

I wouldnt know.....not everyone has the luxery of working for 2 manufacturers at the same time for a while.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

There have been some upgrades to the pants recently (often refered to as the 'wide' option) with some changed shape/outline in inflation around the hips. We're looking at making this an option or standard on all suits with the release of the new style orderforms (already online for several suits). JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Overlaying the two, the Ghost is a conciderable size smaller. In performance its an amazing step up from the Ghost2. We all couldnt stay up with the Ghost3 backflying at 100%, it outflew us both in fwd speed and fallrate. BackFlying it at 75% or so, Bavo had 2 phantoms a shadow and a profly flying their max to keep up. Its definately a great suit, and unlike the big carpets, doesnt push for the insane in wingsize. Remaining very agile and fun to fly even at low wingloads. Depending on your size/exp may have one you can demo..just pm me.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Pix on our fun day in Belgium. Playing with many new toys... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Sorry...Still getting used to touchscreen typing on my latest toy JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Thats a V3.5 One of the many prototypes. For those with a keen eye and a lot of time on youtube there are videos going back to 2009/2020 showing hints and other ideas tried. For the Venom we had one model with only arm inlets and interconnected cells to the legwing (and no inlets), and though pressure was okay, it presented a lot of difficulties in flying with unwanted steering and dives due to air migrating to one wing or another is a surface moved. Collapsing of the armwings turned the legwing into a concrete object during pulltime, due to all the air getting forced into it. Again one of many ideas...the costumer only gets the working final JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
