  1. I would also recomment the wedge if you do not go for a wrist mount. It is mounted on the mud flap and it will fold away in case of any impact (or even tight exits, e.g.). Altimeter provides correct readings at this position, also on the back in a WS.
  2. As mentioned make always sure manifest knows you are doing a WS jump. This will become really, really important if you are at a place with more than one airplane (big DZ or boogie). Especially if the planes are fast. We had the experiance (even telling mainfest) that jumper form next! load where opening at the same time we did. Let them understand you have a long freefall time and they need longer plane separation!
  3. First of all this not a some maker vs another maker thing. You are right when you say it is very difficult to measure/compare flight data. Well, we can leave it like this and everything is love,peace and harmony. And of course everybody has the best suit (maker and owner). But this is BS as well. The thing is that the Tony guys came here claiming that performance improved alot after detaching dome seams. Why didn´t they simply show data (same guy, same altidude, same.....anyhow same conditions as good as it it possible) before and after the modification? That would have given some better idea on the effect of the mod. In this case it is just some bla, bla... And of course people will put questions on this. Just my 2 cents
  4. First of all: I like new developements in WS, no matter which maker. It helps us all. But this Tony advertising things starts to get boring. How many threads do we have with new developed super duper whatever flyings suits? But finaly they all end up the same: Somebody steps in and asks for data. And suddendly something is wrong, something did not work, bla bla. End of story: No data. So what´s up guys? Show some proof and the endless discussions will stop...
  5. The colour is fine as long as you do just night jumps on it..
  6. As these suits now have a "high wing", how do they fly on the back?
  7. The basic effect is known from airplanes. High wing planes have higher stability (compared to low wing with similar design) as the center of gravity sits below the wing. That gives a tendency for stbilizing itself. Of course there are many other factors as well, but it seems to apply for WS as well. Even it is only the leg wing. Anyhow interesting to see where it goes...

    Gloves

    Have the gloves since 2 years and washed them many times. Their life has already exceeded the life of other gloves I had before and they still look good. Can´t complain on them
  9. Köln (Cologne) claims to have Europes biggest whorehouse... But I won´t argue on the weed.....
  10. Good to hear Daiga is recovering soon
  11. Yeah! This year engine- and weather- murphy were not on our side However we simply ignored that and made it a great time flying together
  12. Hi, what I can say is that I was jumping a Springo 140 with a WL of about 1,6. I think it is generally a nice cannopy, never had problems without WS. But I had to cut it twice on WS jumps. After the second one I sold it. I think it is a good decision that you are going for a new canopy on WS jumps.
  13. This is turning in circles again.... Obviously a lot people will have doubts if somebody working @ xyz claims the own suit as best. Basically a BM guy should test the M1 vs V2, a PF guy should test Blade vs M1 and the tonyguys should test Blade vs V2. What I want to say is that so far most of the reviews are biased (which is quite normal). Therefor the competition idea was/is a good idea. But even here the discussion starts again as seen above Anyhow good entertainment....
