Tony-tonysuits

That may be good marketing for you, but I think it's condecending. Anyone can build the muscles to fly a suit better. -------------------------------- oh no young sir the body has a more feminine cut, and all our suit's put the "load" to the body not the wrist.

piece of cake, we make a suit, the lady Flyer, just for girls, tiny bit bigger leg, small arm, most of the wing going down the body to take the load off, less weight on your arms. Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

nice backflying there Brian. Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

you say that now but when you see this suit your goona want new gear to match, they have the same pinks so its gonna look hot, you'll have to buy new shoes again though

well I was gonna make one for Tristan that would fit you but after the remark below I'll make a pink one, I like pink -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hahaha. Well, If that's the company image of Tonysuits you want to put out why not -------------------------------------------- I can two shades of pink, I think youd look good in that, right, off to the cutting table I go, this is gonna be fun

The Apache has the velcro sandwich rip off arm, I have no plans for changing that Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

Zippers fail. Tabs break off. Your shirt sleeve gets caught in the teeth. The teeth can get out of order and jam. If the suit's a bit too big or if the handle/wing is dropped, there won't be enough tension to unzip. There's a whole host of problems. ------------------------------- 1. the handles on our suits can be dropped and picked because they dont move when let go of. 2. That being said the handles have nothing to do with unzipping the arms 3. theres no way you are gonna have both zippers break on the same jump. Ive not had a problem in 2 years with one zip, now your gonna have a prob with 2 on the same jump??????????

I say this is a 'webbed gloves are a good idea' story all over again ------------------- Noooo, the webies wernt as fast as reaching back for the grip, I proved it to myself on the big M jump, the twin zips are "here to stay"

I'll try to make it. Try to fly the best suit ever. 6'2" and 170 if you are reading Tony . -------------------- well I was gonna make one for Tristan that would fit you but after the remark below I'll make a pink one, I like pink Not since Tony stayed here. haha Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

goodness you two do go on!!!!

He told me he grabbed the handles and pulled em straight up towards his chest. And it was hard to impossible to get em out. Afterwards, trying it again on a friends GTi, pulling with an outward curve (either forward or sideways) the cables came out smooth and easy. Its been noted before a wrong pull (pulling upward) can cause the cable to sort of lock, and come out harder/more difficult ------------------------------------- yes I get the same prob with the zippers, sometimes I pull em towards my sholders and sometimes I pull em towards my sholders,

ha good one Tris, didn't even think of that, and how bout the standard cutaway that comes free by itself sometimes, what was the post a few months ago about a pantom that cut itself away, and others have by the reply's to that post, Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

The other thing to look at is not all flyers have your experience. Tony you have been skydiving a very long time and have big jump numbers. Even a guy with 1000 jumps probably cant compare to your years of experience and how relaxed you are in the sky and dealing with issues. So all these things seem very simple to someone of your knowledge, experience, and jump numbers. To a guy that may have 200 wingsuit jumps and 500 jumps total its a WHOLE new ballpark. Same reason they make students jump RSL's etc. Just something to keep in mind with the wing release system and why I think many of the guys in here think the cable system when things are going really bad and wrong is an easier and better cut a way system. And to me how many people are really going from Freeflying, RW, Swooping to go do a WS jump. Not to mention I know in the FF world most are jumping ridiculously small canopies and almost all high performance. How many of the FF do you know that jump pilots, spectres, and sabres just not many. -------------------- True but the people I see doing that borrow a bigger "rig" to go wingsuit, and not everyone has a tiny parachute, hey I want everyone to do this, and the whole point here is that its easier to undo a zip than it is to cutaway because you do it every time, My first break release I went for the arm zip not the cutaway on the leg, its just habit, you can do it just as fast because of that, Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

The situation has been raised before. The arm cut away should function during worse case scenario. Consider this one. I get taken out and have a badly injured right arm. Can't reach my hacky so I go silver. I pulled unstable due to being asymmetric and open in line twists. I can't unzip any zipper on the good arm using that same arm. My arm just don't bend that way, but I'd like to watch someone give it a try. They might be able to do it with their teeth, but that isn't something we do every day either, specially when under a spun up canopy hurling at the ground. A cable cut away system that can be reached with either hand may not be as elegant, but seems more failsafe in my book. ------------------------------------------------------ If the said arm is so smashed that you cant undo a zipper, what are you going to do with it once you cut the arm of the suit away from it, and I think it would be easy to undo the zipper with your teeth, let me see you undo "your" cutaway's with your teeth and yes to the two mails above, the thumb loop is in between both zips so its right there and will undo if either zip is in any position, I just went to try that and I undid all 4 zippers with my teeth.

and how is reaching down below your knees, something you dont ever do, easier than undoing somth in front of your face that you do on every jump, and I've talked with people that have released the "standard" release and it took an age to pull the cables up against the direction there in, Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

both zips are fastened with a snap to the thumb loop so they are always there, always

your on, I just flew the new SM1 and your toast next time boyo

then you have a second one, first impressions seem good I think with all the people that are trying this system Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

if you grab the handle with the other hand, then pull the sleeve off the arm, point your thumb in the direction of the pull, try that, Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com
