  1. haha thats my XS, i loaned Jojo. great shot!!! Justin Wingsuit organizing, first flight courses and coaching Flock University Tonysuits
  2. Merry Christmas everyone. Heres my video from this 2008 season. Please enjoy. Justin Shorb www.Vimeo.com/2494899 produced and edited by: Justin Shorb Wingsuit organizing, first flight courses and coaching Flock University Tonysuits
  3. 500 for a mach 1 is a good deal, but there are always gonna be good deals out there. Spend your money how you see fit, but if i were you I would use it to jump more, get to 200 quicker so you can fly a mach 1 sooner. we set our suit minimums as follows 200 for Intro 40 wingsuit jumps for Raptor 100 wingsuit jumps for Mach 1 150 wingsuit jumps for SM1 200 wingsuit jumps for XS those are our "official" recommendations These are just guidelines, we have other suits you can use in between, such as an Aerobat, which is a great suit to learn acrobatics in. Spending more time in a smaller suit will make you a better flyer for sure. learn all the inputs needed to fly a raptor, or aerobat with flocks, and when you put on a big suit it will be much easier to transition. learning to backfly for example, in a mach1 is MUCH harder than in a aerobat or raptor. You would be selling yourself short in that case. Also, I have acsess to around 100 demo suits. of every type and size (tonysuits) :-) send me a PM, find out our tour schedule, and Ill get you trained up, when you get 200, or come to sebastian this winter. the intros we use are free for your to use with the first flight course, after jump it all you can, get your experience up, and I will toss you a bigger suit to try. Once you get your minimums, Im always happy to send out a demo suit to you. all you will have to pay is shipping. Jump as much as you can, and when your ready contact us and Ill make sure you have a set of wings
  4. There is only no thumb loops on the new no cutaway sleeve. Anything else (especially yours) will have them :-) CHECK YOUR GEAR. If you jump with me, you will hear me yell it before jumprun. Grab your rsl clips, visually inspect them, and then give them a tug, AFTER you stand up. if they are not hooked, your wing release velcro will RELEASE. DO NOT cut away that other wing if this happens. it only makes it worse. I have flown these wings unhooked, blown out, zippers open, etc.. they fly fine. you can compensate. two flapping wings are worse than one. as far as the potato chipping (tipping back and forth) This is usually due to tension. RELAX is the best thing to do. stay symetrical, make sure your leg wing is opena all the way, and your arms open all the way. dont over stress it. Justin p.s. come to Sebastian this winter and fly with us. Wingsuit organizing, first flight courses and coaching Flock University Tonysuits
  5. Indeed, It was an Honor to fly with you guys. We did it! and that grid shows it. Today, among other things I am grateful for all you badass flyers out there who came together to help accomplish this goal. CAW CAW Justin Wingsuit organizing, first flight courses and coaching Flock University Tonysuits
  6. the guy i was supposed to fly off of never made it in on the last jump. he was the last of the front group. Justin Wingsuit organizing, first flight courses and coaching Flock University Tonysuits
  7. it was Jim Hickey. hes a badass. jumps in elsinore, and i think there was alredy a thread on this................Sinner Slum U justin Wingsuit organizing, first flight courses and coaching Flock University Tonysuits
  8. Agreed, I will be spending a lot of time in Zhills also!! Justin Wingsuit organizing, first flight courses and coaching Flock University Tonysuits
  9. I agree about the value of the photos to the participants , but its not my department. we literally have to go through over 8000 photos. and all the video, forget it, sooo much to do. there will be lots of prints available for purchase and what not. Jeff has lots to do. and once the pics are sent to the magazines, its their decision when to run it. We can not post any of the money shots on dz.com or anywhere, as then they become worthless and any mags who want to run them may then choose not too. you guys have seen the pics of the record. there a lots of them out there. the money shots are bout the same, just tightened up and more symmetrical. All i can say is congrats to everyone involved, Thank you for the support, and I CANNOT wait to do it again. Justin Wingsuit organizing, first flight courses and coaching Flock University Tonysuits
  10. DONT!!! Just do it Biatch Wingsuit organizing, first flight courses and coaching Flock University Tonysuits
  11. we are working hard on it. there are a LOT of media outlets requesting stuff. Jeff and Taya are working almost nonstop getting this out. you will be able to see all of it soon. Justin Wingsuit organizing, first flight courses and coaching Flock University Tonysuits
  12. the grid pictures will probably never be up on dz.com at least until they are published in the appropriate magazines. that is the plan for now. but trust me, it looks GOOD! Justin Wingsuit organizing, first flight courses and coaching Flock University Tonysuits
  13. i dont think it has the new arm mod. It is an old design raptor. i sent it from my birdhouse to tony to have a legwing zipper repaired. so the arm zip should have a snap that attaches to the thumb loop. and the arm wing cutaway has a snap over for the zip to help prevent the zippers from walking up. Im not sure if it was modded at the factory after is sent it. justin Wingsuit organizing, first flight courses and coaching Flock University Tonysuits

  18. lets be real the rest of the world gets very little press but it seems every time Justin makes a jump he calls the press to report on it (Purple Mike of a different kind instead of the camera Justin prefers print) well, you must have had a great weekend! as far as that comment is concerned, i never call anybody, they contact me. and All i do is represent our discipline as well as i can. I actually hate doing press stuff, im not that great on camera (still learning) but if a media outlet wants to do a story on wingsuits, and they ask me i will do it. Not because i am a camera or print whore, because they will do a story either way. At least if Someone who knows what they are doing represents, we wont look TOTALLY stupid. do you want me to have them call you next time?
